FAQs
What types of air-conditioning systems do you install for Palmer homes and businesses?
We design and install a full range of systems to suit Palmer’s diverse building styles and climate needs, including high-efficiency central air conditioners, ductless mini-splits, heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling, packaged rooftop units for light-commercial spaces, and energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) that bring in fresh air without sacrificing heat. Our comfort consultants perform an on-site load calculation to recommend the right size and technology for your property, ensuring reliable performance during Palmer’s warm summers and sub-zero winters.
How can I improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in my home?
Start with source control—use low-VOC paints and cleaning products, change HVAC filters every 30–60 days, and keep humidity between 30-50 %. Next, upgrade your filtration: we offer high-MERV pleated filters, whole-home media filters, and HEPA bypass units that capture allergens down to 0.3 microns. For continuous fresh-air exchange, consider an ERV or HRV tied into your ductwork. UV-C germicidal lights can neutralize mold and bacteria on the evaporator coil, while whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers balance moisture year-round. Our IAQ audit pinpoints the best combination for your specific concerns—dust, pet dander, smoke, odors, or viruses.
Can you address ventilation challenges caused by Palmer’s cold climate?
Absolutely. In cold regions like Palmer, tightly sealed homes can trap stale air and moisture, leading to condensation, mold, and poor IAQ. We install balanced mechanical ventilation systems—primarily HRVs (heat-recovery ventilators) that exhaust stale indoor air while pre-warming incoming fresh air with up to 80 % heat recovery. This keeps utility bills low and prevents heat loss. We also inspect existing ductwork for proper sizing, insulation, and air leaks, and we can add make-up air solutions for kitchens, workshops, or wood-burning stoves that depressurize the house.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my heating and cooling equipment?
Plan on two professional tune-ups per year: an AC service in spring and a furnace or heat-pump check in fall. Regular maintenance cleans coils, verifies refrigerant charge, lubricates moving parts, checks safety controls, and measures combustion efficiency for gas furnaces. In Palmer’s harsh climate, this biannual service prevents unexpected breakdowns, maintains manufacturer warranty coverage, and can lower energy costs by 10–15 %. We also offer worry-free maintenance agreements with priority scheduling and parts discounts.
What are the warning signs that my air conditioner needs repair or replacement?
Common red flags include weak or warm airflow, ice buildup on the outdoor unit, frequent cycling, unusual noises or odors, a sudden spike in utility bills, and rooms that never reach the thermostat setpoint. If your system is over 12–15 years old and uses R-22 refrigerant, replacement with a high-efficiency R-410A or R-454B model is often more cost-effective than repeated repairs. Our technicians provide a transparent health report so you can compare the long-term savings of repair vs. replacement.
Are there energy-efficient options and incentives available for HVAC upgrades in Palmer?
Yes. We carry ENERGY STAR® certified heat pumps with SEER2 ratings of 18–22 and gas furnaces up to 97 % AFUE. Many qualify for federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act (up to $2,000 for a heat pump) and local utility rebates from Matanuska Electric Association (MEA) and Enstar ranging from $150 to $1,000, depending on efficiency tier. We handle all paperwork and can bundle financing options with your rebate to minimize upfront costs while maximizing monthly energy savings.
