Air Conditioning FAQs:

How long does HVAC equipment last?

In general HVAC systems last 10—15 years. However, there are many factors that influence how long your system will last including your environment, maintenance frequency, and how you maintain your home. As your system gets older it becomes less efficient and effective. Therefore, after about 10 years, you may want to consider a replacement. Even if you are not experiencing any major problems, modern HVAC systems will save you money on your energy bills because they are more efficient. Plus, they generally come with 10-year warranties.

How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?

We recommend having your HVAC system serviced at least twice a year. Routine maintenance ensures your heating and cooling systems operate efficiently, prolonging their lifespan and reducing energy consumption. It also helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. The longer you put off HVAC system maintenance the faster it will age and the more likely it is to break down.

What are the signs that an HVAC system needs repair?

Common signs include inconsistent temperature, strange noises, unusual odors, poor airflow, and increased energy bills. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it may be time for a replacement. Give us a call today for a free in-home consultation.

What are some ways I could keep my home cool more efficiently?

If you aren’t ready to upgrade your air conditioner, there are several ways you can improve the efficiency of your existing system.

• Use a programmable thermostat to adjust your home’s temperature when you are away. Every degree counts. Even a small change can result in big energy savings.
• Avoid blocking vents. Move any furniture or curtains to evenly distribute air throughout your home. However, if there are rooms in your home that you rarely use, consider closing the vents to avoid wasting energy.
• Sign up for an Annual maintenance Plan to ensure that your system is running as efficiently as possible, and to fix any potential issues.

How is the efficiency of heating and cooling equipment measured?

The HVAC industry uses SEER2 (seasonal energy efficiency ratio 2), which measures efficiency based on the amount of heating or cooling your system delivers per dollar spent on your electricity bill. The higher a system’s SEER2 rating, the more efficient the system, which means lower monthly utility bills and peak efficiency year-round.

What size HVAC system should I have?

There is no set parameter for sizing a system to the precise square footage of your home. Because homes are all built differently, your home’s HVAC system will depend on its specific construction. Many factors go into calculating the appropriate size of an air conditioning system, including the size of your home, the number of windows in your home and which direction they face, elements surrounding your house, and expectations your family has for the comfort of your home. To determine the correct HVAC system, give us a call today for a free in-home consultation.

What factors should I consider when thinking about an HVAC system replacement?

A new HVAC system represents a significant monetary expense, but it also represents a long-term investment in energy efficiency and indoor comfort. Choosing the right system for you and your family can be overwhelming, requiring knowledge of equipment function, efficiency standards and your own individual heating and cooling needs. You’ll want to consider where you live, what kind of fuel is available in your area or appropriate for your home, how much you want to spend, etc. Give us a call today to determine the right system for your home.

How often do air filters need to be changed?

It varies depending on the type of filter you have and the condition of your home. The frequency will depend on several factors including the type of air filter, home air quality, if there are pets in the home, number of people in your family, and the level of outdoor pollutants. Another consideration is how hard or how often your HVAC equipment is used. If you have cheaper, disposable filters, we recommend changing them every 30 days. If you have pleated, or poly, filters, we recommend changing them every 90 days. Media filters can last a little longer and should be replaced about once a year. If you’re unsure about your home’s filter requirements, give us a call and we can make recommendations as to how often you should change your filter.
