Heating and Air Conditioning
Here are some frequently asked questions about heating and cooling
systems:
When should I service my HVAC system?
It's recommended to service your HVAC system before the start of each heating and
cooling season, usually in the spring and fall.
How often should I replace my air
filters?
Air filters should be replaced every one to three months, depending on usage. Some
recommend replacing 1 inch filters every two months and medium filters twice a year.
When should I replace my HVAC system?
You should consider replacing your HVAC system if it's 15 years or older, requires
constant repairs, or can't properly heat or cool your home.
What is SEER rating?
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, which measures how energy
efficient an HVAC system is. A higher SEER rating means a more energy efficient
system, but it could cost more to purchase.
What causes low airflow in my HVAC
system?
Low airflow could be due to a lack of airflow, refrigerant, dirty air filter, or damaged
ducts.
Can I switch between heating and
cooling?
Yes, you can switch between heating and cooling without wearing out your equipment or
increasing your energy bill if you do it the right way.
