Have an HVAC-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • How often should my HVAC be serviced?

    Your HVAC system should be serviced twice a year. Once in the spring prior to extreme summer temperatures, and once in the fall prior to turning your heater on. Having your system serviced twice a year ensures you're adhering to the manufacturer’s warranty guidelines. For more questions about AC services, reach out to us today.

  • How often should HVAC filters be replaced?

    This is dependent on your indoor environment. Changing them out every 30 days is a good baseline, but every 90 days will suffice for most households.


    Did you know that according to the U.S. Department of Energy, switching to high-efficiency air conditioners could reduce energy use for air conditioning by 20% to 50%? If you have a question about our AC services, call us today!

  • What’s a warranty like on a new HVAC system?

    Most systems come with a 10-year warranty that covers parts and equipment. We also offer a 10-year worry-free labor warranty that includes refrigerant. If you need AC services, call us today.

  • What can I do to lower my energy bill?

    Ensuring your AC system is tuned and having bi-annual AC services performed is a good start. Issues like dirty coils or low refrigerant levels can be detrimental to your air conditioner's ability to run efficiently. Upgrading your system to a higher SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) rating is always a good option to significantly lower your energy bill.

  • What happens if my unit needs a repair on a holiday or a weekend?

    Call, text, or email us! We always have a technician available for AC repairs when you need it the most.

      

  • What is a ductless mini-split system?

    Ductless mini-split systems are innovative AC systems designed to cool/heat a single room much more efficiently than traditional window units. For more questions about AC services, give us a call today.


  • What are the benefits of a programable thermostat?

    Being able to have your thermostat set to your preferred lifestyle temperature will reduce the overall load on the AC and improve comfort. For instance, if the thermostat is set to 80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day when nobody is home but set to 74 degrees Fahrenheit for when you are home, the thermostat will go into a recovery mode to ensure it reaches your desired temperature by the time you arrive. Most cities require a programmable thermostat when a new system is installed to be compliant with city code. When inquiring about AC services, don't forget to ask us about programmable thermostats!

  • How long do HVAC systems typically last?

    Typically, HVAC systems last 10 to 20 years depending on maintenance and how it’s used. If you have more questions, reach out to us today for more information on AC repairs.


  • Are there HVAC systems that are better for the environment than others?

    Yes, having a higher SEER (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) AC system will reduce the amount of energy consumed and reduce its carbon footprint. For more questions about our AC services, give us a call today.


  • How important is air quality?

    Air quality is extremely important. Your home is where you spend most of your time and you want it to have the cleanest air possible. If you need AC services, don't hesitate to reach out to us today.
