FAQs
How often should I replace my HVAC filters?
We recommend replacing your HVAC filters every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage and the type of filter you use. High-efficiency filters may last longer, but it's good practice to check them monthly. Regular replacement helps maintain optimal air quality and system efficiency.
What are the signs that my HVAC system needs maintenance?
Common signs include uneven temperatures across your home, unusual noises, a spike in energy bills, poor airflow, and strange odors coming from vents. Regular maintenance can prevent these issues and prolong the life of your system.
How can I improve indoor air quality in my home?
Improving indoor air quality can be achieved by regularly changing your HVAC filters, using air purifiers, ensuring proper ventilation, and maintaining humidity levels between 30-50%. Additionally, scheduling regular HVAC maintenance helps keep your air clean.
What is the importance of proper ventilation in HVAC systems?
Proper ventilation in HVAC systems is crucial as it helps to remove contaminants, regulate humidity, and ensure a consistent supply of fresh air. This reduces the risk of respiratory issues and improves overall indoor air quality.
What is the ideal humidity level for my home, and how can my HVAC system help manage it?
The ideal indoor humidity level is between 30-50%. Your HVAC system can help manage humidity through dehumidifiers or humidifiers integrated into the system. Maintaining proper humidity levels prevents mold growth, reduces allergens, and enhances comfort.
Why is it important to have my ducts cleaned, and how often should it be done?
Duct cleaning is important as it removes dust, allergens, and other contaminants that can affect indoor air quality and system efficiency. We suggest having your ducts inspected and cleaned every 3 to 5 years, or sooner if you notice issues like mold or excessive dust buildup.
