Frequently Asked Questions
By familiarizing yourself with our FAQ, you can gain a better understanding of how your heating and air conditioning systems work, learn about maintenance tips, and find solutions to common issues. Ultimately, this knowledge empowers you to make informed decisions regarding your HVAC system, ensuring optimal performance, efficiency, and comfort in your home or business.
How often do I need to replace my air filters?
It's recommended to change your air filter every 1 to 3 months, depending on factors such as the type of filter, indoor air quality, and level of usage. Regularly changing your air filter helps maintain optimal airflow, efficiency, and indoor air quality in your home or business.
Do I need to cover my unit in fall and winter?
It's generally not recommended to cover your air unit during fall and winter for several reasons. While covering may protect the unit from debris, it can also trap moisture, leading to rust and corrosion. Additionally, covering can create a shelter for pests and inhibit proper airflow, potentially causing damage or reducing efficiency. However, covering may be advisable in areas prone to heavy debris accumulation, provided the cover allows for adequate ventilation and moisture escape.
When do I need my unit serviced?
It's recommended to have your heating and air unit serviced at least once a year to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Regular maintenance helps identify potential issues early, prolongs the lifespan of your system, and maintains indoor air quality. Additionally, scheduling annual service appointments can help prevent costly repairs and ensure that your HVAC system operates reliably throughout the year.
