FAQs

As a professional heating and air conditioning company, we generally recommend changing air filters monthly. However, the frequency may vary depending on your location and the presence of contaminants such as dirt and pet dander. It's advisable to inspect your filter regularly and replace it when it appears dirty.

To maintain your HVAC warranty, you should schedule professional maintenance a minimum of once a year, with twice a year being the ideal recommendation. That way, we can check your system in both the cooling and heating modes. Annual service ensures the system is inspected, cleaned, and maintained to meet most manufacturer requirements for keeping the warranty valid.

Attempting to repair a broken air conditioner without professional HVAC expertise and the proper testing equipment can be risky and may cause further damage to your system. Our trained technicians have the skills and tools to safely diagnose and resolve any issues with your AC unit.

Determining the appropriate size for a heating and cooling unit involves considering multiple factors, including your home's structure, insulation, and attic space. An oversized system may lead to excessive humidity and potential mold issues, while an undersized unit can result in constant operation and increased energy costs. Our qualified technicians can accurately assess your home's needs to recommend the optimal unit size.

In most instances, replacing both the outdoor and indoor units simultaneously is recommended. Air conditioner and heat pump outdoor units are designed to work with matching indoor units for optimal efficiency and performance. Additionally, if both units were installed concurrently, the indoor unit is likely nearing the end of its lifespan as well. Replacing both units ensures system compatibility and provides comprehensive warranty coverage for the entire system.

While covering your unit can help prevent debris accumulation, it's crucial to avoid operating the unit with the cover in place. If you plan to turn off the unit during an extended absence, you may cover it after disconnecting the power source. For any operational issues, we recommend contacting our heating repair services for a complimentary assessment.

Several factors can contribute to AC unit freezing, including refrigerant leaks due to wear and tear, which can lower pressure and cause freezing. Insufficient refrigerant levels force greater expansion, resulting in colder temperatures that can freeze moisture around the evaporator coil. Dirty evaporator coils and defective blower motors can also lead to freezing. These issues require professional attention, and our trained technicians are equipped to address them effectively.

A zoning system divides your ductwork into separate sections, allowing for individual temperature control in different areas of your home. This enables more efficient cooling of sun-exposed rooms while reducing air conditioning in less frequently used spaces. Zoning systems contribute to improved energy efficiency and overall home comfort. Our team can provide more detailed information about implementing a zoning system in your home.

Improving indoor air quality involves regular dusting and vacuuming. Additionally, our qualified technicians can install specialized equipment such as UV light units, high-efficiency air filters, and electronic air cleaners to further enhance your home's air quality.

To determine if your unit is under warranty, locate the manufacture date on the equipment's outer label. Units less than five years old are typically covered by a warranty. For specific details, we recommend contacting the manufacturer directly. If you require assistance from experienced HVAC professionals, our company is available to help.
