Guides & FAQs
How often should I change my air filter?
We recommend checking your filter every 30 days. For most homes, changing it every 1-3 months ensures optimal airflow and system efficiency.
What are the signs of a failing furnace?
Unusual noises, yellow burner flames, frequent cycling, and rising energy bills are common warning signs that your furnace needs attention.
Why is my AC unit leaking water?
Leaking water is often caused by a clogged condensate drain line or a frozen evaporator coil. It's best to turn off the unit and call for professional service to prevent water damage.
How can I lower my heating and cooling bills?
Seal air leaks, use a programmable thermostat, replace old filters, and schedule seasonal maintenance to keep your system running efficiently.
What is the ideal thermostat setting for summer?
The Department of Energy suggests 78°F when you are at home. If that's too warm, try a programmable thermostat to balance comfort and energy savings.
Is a heat pump better than a furnace?
Heat pumps are highly efficient and provide both heating and cooling. Furnaces are typically better for extremely cold climates, though modern heat pumps are improving.
How long do HVAC systems typically last?
With regular maintenance, most central air systems last 15-20 years, while furnaces can last up to 20-30 years.
Why is my house so dusty even after cleaning?
Excess dust can indicate leaky ductwork or an ineffective air filter. Consider a duct inspection and upgrading to a higher-rated MERV filter.
Should I repair or replace my system?
Consider the 'Rule of 5,000': multiply the age of the unit by the repair cost. If the result is over $5,000, replacement is usually more cost-effective.
How often should HVAC maintenance be performed?
Schedule professional maintenance twice a year: once for your heating system in the fall and once for your cooling system in the spring.
