  • How often should I replace my filter?

    Different style filters are rated differently. Most 1” air filters are rated for 30 days, based on our experience. Larger filters, also known as air cleaners, offer a greater surface area and last longer. For more information on air filtration, please visit our website. Give us a call at E & J Comfort Systems LLC if you need to schedule an appointment for HVAC system repairs.

  • How often should my unit be serviced?

    Almost all HVAC equipment is recommended to be inspected annually. It is recommended that this service is done at the beginning of the season that you will be using that equipment. This ensures that the equipment will be as safe and efficient as possible. This will also reduce the chance of having an emergency failure when you need the equipment the most. According to CNET, you can expect an HVAC system to last for anywhere from 15 to 20 years. For more information on maintenance or to schedule a visit for any HVAC service, please give us a call.

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

    This becomes a question of personal comfort. According to Eight Sleep, 68 degrees is the ideal temperature for people. Please look through our website for tips and tricks for turning down the thermostat in the winter while keeping the house comfortable. Make sure you get in touch with us if you need to schedule an HVAC service.

  • Should I cover my AC unit in the winter?

    While covering your equipment can prevent debris from getting into your unit, you can be causing other issues. The equipment is designed to be outside year-round. By covering it, you trap in heat and moisture which can promote rust. You also create a nicer home for critters to move into. Those critters can chew on wires and damage other components. Please reach out to our team for recommendations on keeping your AC system clean and efficient with an HVAC service.

  • Is bigger better when it comes to HVAC?

    No. All HVAC systems must be sized appropriately for the space they are servicing. Improperly sized equipment has more service issues, is less efficient, and can create comfort issues such as too little or too much humidity. If you're in need of a new HVAC unit, then make sure you get in touch with our team to schedule an HVAC service.

  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps are essentially an air conditioning system running in reverse. They utilize refrigerant to pull heat from the outside and transfer it into the home. Cold climate heat pumps have come so far as to be able to do this efficiently when it's 0 degrees Fahrenheit outside. Click through our website for more information on heat pumps.
