It’s recommended to service your HVAC system at least once a year, but ideally, twice a year—before summer and winter—to ensure optimal performance.
How can I improve my HVAC system’s efficiency?
Regular maintenance, changing air filters, sealing ducts, and upgrading to a smart thermostat can help improve efficiency and reduce energy costs.
How long does an HVAC system last?
Most HVAC systems last 10 to 15 years, but with proper maintenance, they can last even longer.
Why is my HVAC system making strange noises?
Unusual sounds like banging, rattling, or squealing could indicate loose parts, motor issues, or airflow problems—schedule an inspection to prevent further damage.
What size HVAC system do I need for my home?
The right HVAC size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, and climate—a professional load calculation ensures you get the right system.
How often should I change my air filter?
Change your air filter every 1–3 months, depending on usage, pets, and air quality to maintain efficiency and indoor air quality.
Why is my energy bill so high?
A high energy bill can be due to dirty filters, leaks in ductwork, an aging system, or an inefficient thermostat—a tune-up can help reduce costs.
What is the best thermostat setting for energy savings?
In summer, set your thermostat to 78°F (26°C) when home and 85°F (29°C) when away; in winter, aim for 68°F (20°C)for efficiency.
How can I improve my indoor air quality?
You can improve indoor air quality by changing air filters regularly, using air purifiers, maintaining proper ventilation, and installing a humidifier or dehumidifier to balance moisture levels.
