1.  How often should I change my air filters?
   It's generally recommended to change your HVAC filters every 1-3months. Homes with pets, smokers, or high dust levels may require more frequent changes. Let us recommend a changing sequence for your home and unit.
2. How often should my HVAC system be serviced?
   Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance. It's advisable to schedule professional HVAC maintenance with us twice a year, typically in the summer and winter, to prepare for the heavy usage periods of summer and winter.
3. What size HVAC unit does my home require?
   The appropriate size of an HVAC unit depends on various factors, including the size of your home, insulation quality, and the number of rooms. Our HVAC professionals can perform a load calculation to determine the best unit size for your specific needs.
4. How can I improve the energy efficiency of my HVAC system?
   Enhancing energy efficiency can be achieved through several measures: Regular maintenance to ensure the system operates efficiently. Installing programmable or smart thermostats to optimize temperature settings.Ensuring proper insulation and sealing of windows and doors to prevent air leaks. Upgrading to energy-efficient HVAC equipment when necessary. Using ceiling fans to improve air circulation, reducing the load on the HVAC system.
5. What is the typical lifespan of an HVAC system?
   The average lifespan of an HVAC system ranges from 15 to 20 years. Regular maintenance can help extend this lifespan, while neglect or heavy usage may shorten it.
6. Why is my energy bill so high?
   Several factors can contribute to increased energy bills:
   • An HVAC unit running longer due to lack of maintenance or decreased efficiency.
   • Dirty or clogged air filters causing the system to work harder.
   • Leaks in ductwork leading to loss of conditioned air.
   • Thermostat settings that are too extreme, causing the system to operate continuously.
7. How can I improve indoor air quality?
   Improving indoor air quality involves several steps:
   • Regularly changing air filters to ensure clean air circulation.
   • Using air purifiers to remove contaminants.
   • Ensuring proper ventilation to allow fresh air exchange.
   • Installing a whole home air cleaner.
   • Controlling humidity levels to prevent mold growth.
   • Keeping living spaces clean and free from dust and allergens.
8. What is a programmable thermostat, and how does it benefit me?
   A programmable thermostat allows you to set different temperatures for various times of the day and days of the week. This enables better energy management by reducing heating or cooling when it's not needed, leading to potential cost savings on energy bills.
9. Why is one room in my house hotter or colder than the rest?
   Uneven temperatures can result from:
   • Lack of proper airflow to the room (ductwork issues).
   • Insufficient insulation in walls or ceilings.
   • Windows not properly sealed, allowing drafts.
   • Blocked or closed vents restricting air distribution.
   • Addressing these issues can help achieve a more consistent temperature throughout your home.
10. How do I know when it's time to replace my HVAC system?
    Indicators that it might be time to replace your HVAC system include:
    • The system is over 15-20 years old.
    • Frequent breakdowns requiring costly repairs.
    • Increased energy bills despite regular maintenance.
    • Uneven heating or cooling in different areas of your home.
    • The system uses outdated refrigerants that are being phased out.
