FAQs
How often should I have my air-conditioning system serviced in Harrison?
For Harrison’s humid summer climate and chilly winters, we recommend a professional tune-up twice a year—once in the spring for cooling preparation and once in the fall for the heating side of your HVAC system. Regular maintenance keeps energy bills down, maintains manufacturer warranties, and reduces the chance of unexpected breakdowns during peak heat.
What size air conditioner do I need for my Harrison home?
Unit size (measured in tons or BTUs) depends on square footage, insulation quality, window count, ceiling height, and sun exposure. A 1,600-sq-ft, well-insulated home in Harrison usually needs a 2.5- to 3-ton unit, but only an in-home Manual J load calculation by a qualified HVAC professional will ensure the perfect match, preventing short cycling, moisture problems, and inflated energy costs.
How can I improve indoor air quality while using my AC?
Combine high-efficiency pleated filters (MERV 8–13), a properly sealed and cleaned duct system, and optional IAQ add-ons such as UV lights or whole-home air purifiers. Harrison households with pets or allergy sufferers should replace filters every 30–45 days and schedule duct inspections every 3–5 years to reduce pollen, dust, and mold circulation.
Is a heat pump a good alternative to a traditional AC in Harrison?
Yes. Modern heat pumps provide efficient cooling in summer and heating in winter down to about 5 °F. Harrison’s average winter lows rarely fall below this, making a heat pump a cost-effective, all-in-one solution. For very cold snaps, a dual-fuel system (heat pump plus gas furnace backup) delivers optimal comfort and efficiency.
Why is my AC running but not cooling properly?
Common causes include a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, blocked condenser coil, or a failing blower motor. Check the filter first; if it’s clean, call an HVAC technician to test refrigerant levels, inspect electrical components, and clean coils. Continued operation in this condition can damage the compressor, leading to expensive repairs.
What incentives or rebates are available for upgrading my AC in Harrison?
New York State’s Clean Heat Program and utility rebates can cover $200–$2,000 for high-efficiency central ACs or heat pumps meeting ENERGY STAR® ratings. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act offer up to 30 % of project costs (capped at $600 for ACs, $2,000 for heat pumps). We’ll help file the paperwork so you get every dollar you’re entitled to.
