Frequently Asked Questions

General HVAC

Q: How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?

A: It’s recommended to service your HVAC system at least twice a year—once in spring for cooling and once in fall for heating—to ensure optimal performance.

A: Most HVAC systems last between 10 to 15 years, depending on maintenance, usage, and brand quality.

A: The size depends on factors like your home’s square footage, insulation, and climate. A professional load calculation can help determine the right size.

Heating (Furnaces & Heat Pumps)

Q: Why is my furnace blowing cold air?

A: This could be due to a faulty thermostat, clogged filter, pilot light issues, or a malfunctioning gas valve. A professional inspection can help diagnose the problem.

A: If your furnace is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or your energy bills are rising, replacement may be the best option.

A: Heat pumps are more energy-efficient in moderate climates since they transfer heat rather than generate it, but furnaces perform better in extremely cold regions.

Smart HVAC & Energy Savings

Q: Is a smart thermostat worth it?

A: Yes! Smart thermostats optimize temperature settings, reduce energy bills, and offer remote control through apps.

A: In summer, set it to 78°F (26°C) when home and higher when away. In winter, set it to 68°F (20°C) when home and lower when sleeping or away.

A: Yes! Zoned systems allow you to control temperatures in different areas, reducing energy waste.
