FAQs
What heating and air-conditioning services do you provide in Erwin?
Our licensed technicians handle the full spectrum of residential and light-commercial HVAC needs in Erwin, including new system design and installation, replacement of furnaces, heat pumps, and air-conditioners, seasonal tune-ups, ductwork repair and sealing, indoor-air-quality upgrades, smart-thermostat integration, and 24/7 emergency repair services.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my HVAC system?
Industry guidelines recommend professional maintenance twice a year—once in spring for cooling equipment and once in fall for heating equipment. Regular tune-ups keep warranties valid, improve efficiency by up to 15%, reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns, and often extend equipment life by several years.
What are common signs my heating or cooling system needs repair?
Warning signs include uneven temperatures, weak airflow, unusual noises (grinding, banging, squealing), musty or burning odors, sudden spikes in utility bills, frequent cycling on and off, and thermostat settings that no longer match actual room temperature. If you notice any of these issues, schedule a diagnostic visit as soon as possible to prevent bigger and costlier problems.
Should I repair or replace my old furnace or air conditioner?
A good rule of thumb is the 50% rule: if a repair costs more than half the price of a new unit and the equipment is over 10–12 years old, replacement usually makes financial sense. Other factors include rising energy bills, frequent repairs, declining comfort, and the availability of modern, high-efficiency systems that can cut energy use by 20–40%. Our comfort consultants provide free, no-pressure assessments to help you decide.
How can I improve my home’s energy efficiency and lower HVAC costs?
Change or clean air filters every 30–60 days, seal and insulate ductwork, install a programmable or smart thermostat, keep supply and return vents unobstructed, and schedule biannual professional maintenance. Upgrading to ENERGY STAR-rated equipment or installing a high-efficiency heat pump can dramatically reduce energy consumption. We also offer home-performance evaluations that identify insulation gaps, air leaks, and other efficiency opportunities.
