  • How often do air filters need to be changed?

    The frequency of air filter changes depends on the filter type. For less expensive, disposable filters, our local air conditioning specialists advise replacing them monthly. Higher quality filters may have different replacement schedules, so it's best to consult the manufacturer's recommendations or speak with one of our technicians for personalized advice.
  • How long does HVAC equipment last?

    HVAC systems typically function for 15 to 25 years before requiring complete replacement, according to home improvement expert Bob Vila. However, efficiency and performance tend to decline as the system ages. After approximately 10 years, it's advisable to consider a replacement. Modern HVAC systems often provide improved energy efficiency, potentially reducing your utility costs. These newer systems usually come with 10-year warranties, offering long-term peace of mind.

  • What is a heat pump?

    A heat pump is a versatile system that provides both heating and cooling for your home. It can be integrated with various indoor systems, including all-electric and dual-fuel options, to ensure year-round comfort. During colder months, a heat pump extracts warmth from the outside air and transfers it indoors. However, in extremely cold conditions, supplemental heating from an electric heater or gas furnace may be necessary. For more detailed information about heat pump systems, please reach out to our knowledgeable technicians.
  • How long does it take to install a new AC unit?

  • When should I replace my air conditioner unit?

    While HVAC systems can operate for 15 to 25 years, as noted by home improvement expert Bob Vila, maintaining an older system may become costly due to decreased efficiency. If your HVAC unit is over a decade old, it's worth considering a replacement with a more energy-efficient model. This upgrade could lead to significant savings on your energy bills.
