FAQs
How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?
It's recommended to have your HVAC system serviced at least twice a year, ideally in the spring for your air conditioning and in the fall for your heating unit. Regular maintenance can help improve system efficiency, extend the lifespan of your equipment, and identify potential issues before they become major problems.
How can I improve the air quality in my home?
Improving the air quality in your home can be achieved through several methods: regularly replacing HVAC filters, using air purifiers, ensuring proper ventilation, controlling humidity levels, and keeping your home clean to reduce dust, pet dander, and other allergens. Regular maintenance of your HVAC system is also crucial in maintaining good air quality.
What type of filter should I use for my HVAC system?
The type of filter you should use depends on your specific needs. Basic fiberglass filters are economical but only capture larger particles. Pleated filters are more effective in capturing smaller particles like pollen and mold. High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters offer the highest level of filtration, capturing 99.97% of particles, but may not be compatible with all HVAC systems. Check your system’s manual or consult with a professional to determine the best filter for your system.
Why is my HVAC system making strange noises?
Strange noises from your HVAC system can indicate a range of issues. Common causes include loose or damaged parts, debris in the unit, or problems with the motor or blower. It's important to have any unusual noises inspected by a professional to prevent further damage and ensure the system continues to function properly.
What steps can I take to reduce my energy bills with HVAC usage?
To reduce energy bills, ensure your system undergoes regular maintenance, replace filters regularly, and program your thermostat to reduce usage when you’re not home. Sealing leaks in ducts, adding insulation, and considering energy-efficient models can also contribute to lower utility bills. Additionally, using ceiling fans and ensuring your home is properly sealed and insulated can help maintain desired temperatures more efficiently.
How do I know if my HVAC system needs to be replaced?
Signs that your HVAC system may need to be replaced include frequent repairs, reduced efficiency leading to higher energy bills, uneven heating or cooling, and the system’s age—most HVAC systems last 10-15 years. If your system is struggling to maintain comfort or has a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating below 13, it might be time for an upgrade to a more efficient model.
