Q and A
HVAC Expert Advice
Q. How often should I service my HVAC system?
To ensure efficiency and safety, your Heating should be serviced in the Fall and your AC in the Spring. Regular maintenance can prevent up to 80% of major breakdowns.
Q. When should I replace my system instead of repairing?
If your system is over 10-15 years old or a single repair costs more than 50% of a new unit, replacement is often the better long-term investment.
Q. Why are my energy bills suddenly increasing?
Sudden spikes usually indicate system inefficiency. This could be caused by leaking ductwork, a failing motor, or simply a unit that is working too hard due to lack of maintenance.
Q. What does it mean if my HVAC is making a banging noise?
Banging or clanging often indicates a loose or broken part within the blower assembly or compressor. If you hear this, turn the system off immediately to prevent further internal damage.
Q. Why is my AC running but not cooling?
Common culprits include clogged air filters, dirty outdoor coils, or low refrigerant. Schedule an inspection to prevent compressor failure.
