  • How often should I change my filters?

  • Why is my HVAC unit not blowing cold air?

    First, inspect your filters and ensure all power switches are in the 'on' position. If the issue persists, please contact an air conditioning contractor from our team for further assistance.
  • Why is my coil freezing?

    Coil freezing can be caused by clogged filters or insufficient refrigerant. If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend scheduling a diagnostic appointment with an HVAC contractor.
  • What is the average lifespan of an HVAC system?

    On average, HVAC systems last between eight and 12 years. However, in coastal areas, the lifespan may be shorter due to environmental factors. Be sure to get in touch with us if you need AC repair services.
  • How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?

    For residential systems, we advise biannual servicing. Commercial HVAC systems should be maintained quarterly to ensure optimal performance. Don't hesitate to reach out to an HVAC contractor today!
  • What size HVAC system do I need for my home?

    While a Manual J Load Calculation is the most accurate method, a general rule of thumb is one ton of cooling capacity for every 500 square feet of living space. We recommend a professional assessment for precise sizing. Be sure to reach out to our team to speak with an air conditioning contractor.
  • What is the difference between a heat pump and a furnace?

    A heat pump utilizes the outdoor condensing unit to provide heat, while a furnace only distributes air without generating heat. Combining a heat pump with a furnace can offer energy-efficient heating, with the furnace serving as a backup during extremely cold weather. When you need furnace repair, be sure to call us!
