FAQ

• What size HVAC system is right for my home?

  There are several factors that need to be considered when choosing the size of HVAC for your space. Some of them are the height of the ceiling, size of the window, placement of the window. There are dozens of other variables that have to be taken into consideration when choosing a proper size for a heating and/or cooling system. A professional load calculation is a must for an effective system.
  

• What maintenance should I do on my air conditioner?

  The most important maintenance you can do is to change your filters regularly. Ground mounted outdoor units need to be kept clear of debris, clutter; weeds or landscaping that can grow too close and reduce the airflow to the unit. Also, keep pets away from the unit because pet urine can cause expensive damage. Use caution with a weed trimmer around the unit to prevent damaging control wiring. Any additional maintenance should only be performed by qualified personnel.
  

• What size is my filter and how often should I replace?

  There's no one-size-fits-all answer. The frequency of filter changes is driven by how much your heating and air conditioning system operates, which is also driven by your individual climate. Start by checking the system's filters at least once a month. Hold the used filter up to the light and compare it to a clean "spare". When light is obscured by captured dust and dirt particles, the old filter should be changed. Keep a record for one year and then replace the filter on that basis. At a minimum, it is always a good idea to change filters at the start of the heating and cooling seasons and then in between according to your need. Also, it is a good idea to have your heating and air system checked at the beginning of heating and cooling season to insure proper operation.
  

• How can I do to make my HVAC more efficient?

  Replace and clean your filters often in order to boost the efficiency of your HVAC. Make sure the blower is ON – it ensures the constant air movement, helping the system cool or heat more evenly. Windows facing the south, or those exposed to direct sunlight most of the time, should be equipped with window treatments (drapes, shutters, blinds, screens).
