  • How often should my unit be serviced?

    Most HVAC equipment requires annual inspections. It's advisable to schedule this service at the start of the season when you'll be using the equipment most. This ensures optimal safety and efficiency, while reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns during peak usage times. HVAC systems typically last between 15 to 20 years, according to CNET.

  • What is the ideal temperature to set my thermostat at?

    The ideal temperature setting is largely a matter of personal preference. However, according to Eight Sleep, 68 degrees Fahrenheit is generally considered optimal for most people. Our website offers tips for adjusting your thermostat in winter while maintaining comfort. If you need assistance with your HVAC system, please reach out to schedule a service appointment.
  • Should I cover my AC unit in the winter?

    While covering your AC unit may prevent debris accumulation, it can lead to other issues. HVAC equipment is designed to withstand year-round outdoor exposure. Covering it can trap heat and moisture, potentially causing rust. It may also create an inviting environment for small animals, which could damage wires and components. For advice on maintaining your AC system's cleanliness and efficiency, please contact our team.
  • Is bigger better when it comes to HVAC?

    Contrary to common belief, bigger isn't always better for HVAC systems. It's crucial that the system is appropriately sized for the space it serves. Oversized or undersized equipment can lead to increased service issues, reduced efficiency, and comfort problems such as improper humidity control. If you're considering a new HVAC unit, we recommend contacting our team to ensure proper sizing and installation.
  • What is a heat pump?

    A heat pump functions similarly to an air conditioning system in reverse. It uses refrigerant to extract heat from the outside air and transfer it into your home. Modern cold climate heat pumps are highly efficient, capable of operating effectively even when outdoor temperatures reach 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
