FAQs

Before scheduling a service call, we suggest checking a few important things. First, ensure your filters are clean and not clogged. Next, check if the batteries in your thermostat need replacing. Lastly, verify that none of your circuit breakers have tripped. If you've done these checks and your heating system is still not functioning correctly, it may be time to consider professional furnace repair services to efficiently diagnose and resolve the issue.

The frequency of filter changes depends on the filter's quality, which is indicated by its MERV rating. Filters with a lower MERV rating typically need replacement every three to six months. However, high MERV-rated filters may require monthly changes. You can find the recommended replacement schedule printed on the filter's side.

Choosing the right size for your air conditioning unit is essential for achieving optimal comfort and efficiency. An oversized unit can lead to decreased efficiency, reduced comfort, and unnecessary energy costs. It may also cause undue strain on your system. According to industry standards, a well-maintained central air conditioner typically lasts between 10 and 15 years, while window units have a lifespan of 8 to 10 years. To properly size your system, it's important to work with experienced air conditioning contractors.

We advise against closing off registers in unused rooms. Your HVAC system is designed to distribute air evenly throughout your entire home. Shutting off a room can disrupt this airflow, creating pressure imbalances and reducing overall system efficiency. This can result in uneven temperatures, increased strain on your HVAC unit, and potentially higher energy costs. If you're considering modifications to your heating and cooling setup, we recommend consulting with a professional to assess the potential impact on system performance. Additionally, regular air conditioner maintenance is crucial for optimal operation, preventing breakdowns, and extending your unit's lifespan.
