Community Service is Part of Who We Are
Caring for our community matters to us. We proudly support local organizations such as the Rotary Club, the Bowie and Crofton Chambers of Commerce, the Lions Club, Kiwanis, and local sports teams.

Our Comprehensive AC services Keep Bowie Cool
From emergency AC repairs to routine maintenance, Belair provides reliable cooling service throughout the Prince George's County area. We install complete central air systems, including energy-efficient ductless ones, that keep Maryland’s summertime averages at bay.
If you are looking for a one-size-fits-all solution for your home, you should consider a heat pump. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one system. They’re also more environmentally friendly than traditional central air.
Don’t leave your summertime comfort to an inexperienced HVAC company. Call Belair at the first sign of an impending AC repair in Bowie.

What do I need to know if I'm installing a new ac, fireplace, or water heater?
Do I need a permit to install a new HVAC system, fireplace, generator, or water heater?
In most cases, the answer is a resounding yes.
BUYER BEWARE! Many "reputable" contractors are NOT pulling required permits or getting the mandatory inspections completed on the equipment they install. Make sure to verify that yours is doing things right before you authorize the work!
What happens if your contractor does NOT pull the required permits or have the work inspected?
If problems with your heat pump, AC, gas fireplace, generator, or water heater should arise, your homeowner's insurance likely won't cover the claim.
If you sell later, unpermitted work may need inspection and costly updates to meet code.
