FAQs
What are some signs that my HVAC system needs maintenance?
Common signs that your HVAC system needs maintenance include unusual noises, inconsistent temperatures, higher energy bills, and poor airflow. If you notice any of these issues, it's a good idea to schedule a maintenance check to ensure your system is operating efficiently.
How often should I replace my HVAC filters?
It's recommended to replace your HVAC filters every 1 to 3 months, depending on the type of filter and your household's needs. Homes with pets or residents with allergies might require more frequent replacements to maintain optimal air quality.

Improving air quality can be achieved by regularly changing HVAC filters, ensuring proper ventilation, sealing ducts to prevent contaminants from entering, and using air purifiers. Additionally, scheduling professional HVAC maintenance can help identify and fix any issues affecting air quality.
What should I consider when choosing a new HVAC system for my home?
When selecting a new HVAC system, consider factors such as the size of your home, energy efficiency ratings, the climate in Chattanooga, your budget, and the system's features like programmable thermostats or zoning capabilities. Consulting with a professional can help you make an informed decision tailored to your specific needs.
