  • How often should I service my HVAC system?

    We advise scheduling professional maintenance biannually. This includes a spring check-up for your cooling system and a fall inspection for your heating system. These regular service appointments enhance efficiency, help prevent unexpected breakdowns, and can significantly extend the lifespan of your HVAC system.
  • How often should I change my air filter?

    For most households, we recommend changing air filters every one to three months. However, homes with pets, allergy sufferers, or those with heavy HVAC usage may need to replace filters more frequently to maintain optimal air quality and system performance.
  • What are signs my HVAC system needs repair?

    Several indicators suggest your HVAC system may require repair: unusual noises or odors, inconsistent temperatures throughout your home, reduced airflow, frequent on-off cycling, unexplained increases in energy bills, or difficulty starting the system. If you notice any of these signs, we recommend contacting a professional promptly to prevent potential worsening of the issue.
  • Is regular maintenance really maintenance really worth it?

    Regular maintenance is indeed valuable. It offers multiple benefits including lowering repair expenses, improving system efficiency, extending equipment lifespan, maintaining manufacturer warranties, and reducing the likelihood of emergency breakdowns. These advantages make routine maintenance a wise investment in your HVAC system's longevity and performance.
  • Should I repair or replace my HVAC system?

    The decision between repair and replacement depends on several factors. Consider replacement if your system is over 15 years old, you're experiencing frequent or costly repairs, your energy bills are consistently increasing, or you're struggling with inconsistent comfort levels. Our team can provide an honest assessment, comparing the costs and benefits of repair versus replacement to help you make an informed decision.
