Question 1

How often should I replace my HVAC air filters?

Accepted Answer

Air  filters are an important part of your air conditioning unit and, if not replaced regularly, can lead to decreased performance and increased energy costs. The following air filter signs may be clues that it’s time for a replacement:
Increased energy cost
AC unit is too hot
No or less cooling than before
More dust near the air vents

Changing air filters is an investment toward a healthier environment as well as increased energy savings. So, get in touch with our HVAC experts for reliable HVAC service.

Question 2

How important is my indoor air quality?

Question 3

What is a ductless mini-split system?

Accepted Answer

A ductless mini-split system is an alternative to traditional heating and cooling like central air. Ductless HVAC works similarly to central heating and cooling, except that it doesn’t require ductwork. Your mini-split system will have an indoor and outdoor unit, but it will only require a small hole to be cut through the exterior wall—just big enough for a tube of refrigerant to pass through. Inside your home, the air will be conditioned and returned into the room by the same unit.

Ductless mini-split AC systems are the perfect solution for anyone who wants to cool their home quietly without running ductwork. They’re also a versatile addition to areas of your home that might not typically accommodate ductwork, such as garages, standalone structures, or sunrooms.

Question 4

What’s the best way to extend the life of my unit?

Accepted Answer

Heating and cooling units are a big investment, so it’s understandable that you’d want them to last as long as possible. Reducing usage is always helpful, so turn the thermostat up or down, as needed, to reduce use when you’re not at home. Changing air filters will prevent clogs.

It is also important to perform routine maintenance as well. This can help to prevent those pesky problems from occurring in the first place, while extending the life of your furnace to save you money in the long-run.
