FAQs
What does “year-round comfort” actually mean for my home in Guild?
Year-round comfort is the ability of a single integrated HVAC system to keep your indoor temperature, humidity and air quality at healthy, consistent levels through every season. In winter the system supplies reliable, even heat; in summer it removes excess humidity and provides cooling; and during spring and autumn it automatically adjusts to mild temperatures so you never have to think about switching equipment on or off.
How often should I service my HVAC system to maintain year-round performance?
For most homes we recommend two professional tune-ups per year—one in early spring before the cooling season and one in early autumn before the heating season. These visits include cleaning coils, checking refrigerant charge, inspecting electrical components, lubricating moving parts and confirming thermostat calibration. Regular service catches small issues before they affect comfort or energy efficiency and is required by many manufacturers to keep warranties valid.
Which type of system is best for both heating and cooling in Guild’s climate?
High-efficiency air-source heat pumps or dual-fuel systems are ideal for Guild’s moderate winters and warm summers. A heat pump functions like an air conditioner in summer, then reverses in winter to extract heat from outdoor air. If temperatures dip below its optimal range, a dual-fuel setup automatically engages a gas furnace for backup heat, giving you the best balance of energy savings and comfort.
Can a modern heat pump really handle winter heating without a backup furnace?
Yes—today’s cold-climate heat pumps are engineered to operate efficiently at outdoor temperatures as low as ‑15 °C. They use variable-speed compressors, advanced refrigerants and sophisticated defrost cycles to maintain stable indoor warmth. In Guild’s relatively mild winters, many homeowners rely exclusively on a heat pump. However, if you have an older, drafty home or expect extreme cold snaps, adding an auxiliary heat source offers peace of mind.
How can I lower energy bills while keeping consistent indoor temperatures all year?
Start with a high-efficiency HVAC system (SEER2 16+ for cooling and HSPF2 8.8+ for heating), then pair it with a programmable or smart thermostat that automatically adjusts temperatures when you’re asleep or away. Seal air leaks, add proper insulation and maintain clean air filters to reduce the system’s workload. Finally, schedule biannual maintenance; a well-tuned unit can save 10-15 % on utility costs compared with a neglected one.
What indoor air quality solutions pair well with a year-round comfort system?
Whole-home air purifiers, UV germicidal lights, high-capacity humidifiers/dehumidifiers and energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) integrate directly into your ductwork. Air purifiers and UV lights capture or neutralize allergens, bacteria and viruses. Humidifiers add moisture during dry winter months, while dehumidifiers remove excess humidity in summer—both crucial for comfort and health. An ERV exchanges stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air without sacrificing heating or cooling efficiency, completing a comprehensive comfort package.
