Frequently Asked Questions

A:Most central AC systems were designed to last 12 to 18 years. If your system is nearing the end of its lifespan, it may be costing you more money in repairs and loss of efficiency than you would be paying for a newer system. Our contractors have the experience and skill necessary to help you determine whether you would be better served by repairs or a replacement.

A:One of the best opportunities to improve efficiency in your HVAC system is examining the duct work. Studies have indicated that approximately 30% of the air circulated by your heating and cooling system is lost due to leaks or breaks in the duct system. With our duct testing services, you can identify any problems and find lasting solutions.

A:This is a service that we recommend during the initial installation of a new system and again in subsequent annual system check-ups. Once the system is charged with refrigerant and has proper airflow across the indoor coil, it should not require any service beyond filter changes and basic cleaning to maintain optimal performance.

A:Absolutely. HVAC systems are an investment in your home comfort system, and the best way to make the most of that investment is to provide it with the care it needs to function properly. Just as your car needs the occasional tune-up or oil change, your heating and air conditioned needs to be tested, serviced, and cleaned to ensure that it is running as efficiently as possible. This is also the best way to extend its lifespan, minimize repair costs, and identify problems before they become large-scale issues.
