Most HVAC systems last between 15 to 20 years with regular maintenance. Proper servicing, filter changes, and seasonal tune-ups can help extend the lifespan of your unit.
It’s recommended to schedule HVAC maintenance at least twice a year—once before summer for the air conditioning and once before winter for the heating system.
Regular maintenance, cleaning air filters monthly, sealing duct leaks, and installing a programmable thermostat can improve energy efficiency and reduce utility costs.
The correct size depends on square footage, insulation, climate, and number of occupants. An oversized unit can cause inefficient cooling/heating, while an undersized unit may struggle to keep up with demand. Our team can perform a load calculation to determine the right system for your needs.
Unusual sounds like banging, squealing, or rattling may indicate loose parts, motor issues, or debris in the ductwork. If your system is making loud noises, schedule an inspection to prevent further damage.
Smart thermostats help optimize energy use, improve comfort, and lower utility bills by adjusting temperatures automatically based on your schedule and preferences. Some models can also be controlled remotely via a mobile app.
First, check the thermostat settings, air filters, and circuit breakers. If the system still doesn’t work, contact a professional HVAC technician to diagnose and fix the issue.
Signs that your air ducts need cleaning include excessive dust buildup, weak airflow, musty odors, and increased allergy symptoms. Cleaning your ducts can improve indoor air quality and system efficiency.
A heat pump provides both heating and cooling by transferring heat, while a furnace generates heat using gas or electricity. Heat pumps are more energy-efficient in moderate climates, whereas furnaces are better suited for colder regions.
The installation process typically takes one to three days, depending on the type of system, ductwork modifications, and the complexity of the setup.
