What Is The Difference Between AC And Heat Pump Installation?

Heat pumps are primarily used in climates that get very cold in the winter months. In areas with milder winters, central air conditioners are a better choice.

Which Size Of The HVAC System Should I Get?

We recommend that you size your system according to your home’s square footage for maximum efficiency. Larger systems are not only costlier but also more difficult to install. Getting the next largest system will result in higher utility bills and wasted energy.

How Does Condensation Affect Heating And Cooling?

When cool, dry air is provided to the evaporator coil, water vapor in the warm moist conditioned air condenses on the cooling coils. This condensed water flows into a pan and drains out of the furnace through a drain pipe. Condensation should not drip onto or run down inside walls or ceilings.

How Can I Improve My Home's Heating And Ac System?

What To Do If My HVAC Unit Is Leaking?

If your unit is leaking water, the most common causes are low refrigerant levels and loose seals. Check for such problems and do not let them continue, or it can result in major damage to your system.

Why Does An Air Conditioner Make A Clicking Noise?

An air conditioning unit makes this clicking noise because it is the sound of the rolling shutter doors on top of the blower compartment opening and closing. This happens when the compressor turns on and off, which causes a change in pressure that causes the doors to open up. This process is also known as the refrigerant cycle.

What Should I Look For In A Reputable HVAC Company?

One of the factors you need to consider when hiring an HVAC company is their experience. Ensure that the technicians are qualified and knowledgeable on the latest advancements in technology. They should also be able to provide you with references or recommendations of previous customers.

What Kind Of Maintenance Does My HVAC Unit Need?

You can maintain your HVAC system by regularly changing air filters, cleaning evaporator coils, and checking refrigerant levels.

Most reputable companies offer a standard 1-year warranty on parts and labor. Many companies also offer extended plans that can cover your HVAC system for an additional 5 to 10 years.

What Are Indoor Air Pollutants?

Indoor air pollutants, or IAQ, are all substances found in indoor spaces that can harm human health and well-being. A wide range of substances represent these pollutants, and many different sources can create them.

How Can I Improve Indoor Air Quality?

To improve the indoor air quality in your home, you can utilize environmental control systems. You also need to regularly change your filters and consider the use of plants in your home.

How Can I Lower My Utility Bills?
