How often should I service my HVAC system?
We recommend servicing your HVAC system twice a year—once in spring for cooling and once in fall for heating. Regular maintenance improves efficiency and prevents costly breakdowns.
How do I know if I need HVAC repair?
Signs include weak airflow, unusual noises, high energy bills, uneven temperatures, or frequent cycling. If you notice any of these, schedule a professional inspection.
What size HVAC system do I need?
The right size depends on your home's square footage, insulation, windows, and layout. A professional load calculation ensures you get an efficient system that fits your space.
How long does an HVAC system last?
Most HVAC systems last 10–15 years with proper maintenance. Regular filter changes and tune-ups can extend its lifespan and keep it running efficiently.
Are HVAC maintenance plans worth it?
Yes. Maintenance plans help catch issues early, improve efficiency, extend system life, and often include priority service and discounts on repairs.
How can I improve my indoor air quality?
Use high-quality air filters, install UV lights, schedule duct cleaning, and consider adding air purifiers or dehumidifiers to reduce allergens and pollutants.
Why is my AC blowing warm air?
Possible causes include a refrigerant leak, dirty coils, thermostat issues, or a faulty compressor. A technician can diagnose and fix the issue quickly.
How often should I replace my air filters?
Typically every 1–3 months. Homes with pets, allergies, or high dust levels may need more frequent changes to maintain good airflow and air quality.
Is duct cleaning necessary?
Yes, especially if you notice dust buildup, mold, or musty odors. Duct cleaning improves air quality, reduces allergens, and boosts HVAC efficiency.
How can I reduce my HVAC energy bills?
Schedule regular maintenance, use programmable thermostats, seal ducts, replace filters, and upgrade to energy-efficient HVAC units to lower costs.
