We recommend servicing your HVAC system at least once a year. Heating systems should be checked in the fall and air conditioning systems in the spring to ensure they are operating efficiently and ready for the coming season.

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It measures air conditioning and heat pump cooling efficiency, which is calculated by the cooling output divided by the total electric energy input during the same period. A higher SEER rating means greater energy efficiency.

This can happen for several reasons including restricted airflow, low refrigerant levels, or issues with the thermostat. If your system is freezing up, it’s advisable to turn it off and call a professional for a thorough inspection.

Improving indoor air quality can be achieved by regularly replacing HVAC filters, installing air purifiers or cleaners, maintaining proper humidity levels, and ensuring adequate ventilation to reduce pollutants and allergens.

If you notice your HVAC system leaking water, it could be due to a clogged condensate drain line, a rusty drain pan, or issues with the pump. Turn off your system and contact an HVAC professional to address the issue and prevent water damage.

Yes, installing a smart thermostat can lead to significant savings on your energy bills. These devices allow for more precise control over your HVAC system, learning your schedule and preferences to optimize heating and cooling patterns accordingly.

AFUE stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency, and it measures a gas furnace’s efficiency in converting fuel to energy. A higher AFUE percentage indicates a more efficient furnace, with less wasted fuel.

Consider factors like the size of your space, the efficiency of the system (SEER and AFUE ratings), your budget, and the climate in your area. It’s also crucial to choose a reliable service provider for proper installation.
