HVAC is an acronym for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. These systems are designed to control indoor temperature, air circulation, and overall air quality in buildings.

The typical lifespan of an HVAC system ranges from 10 to 15 years. However, this can vary based on factors such as frequency of use, regular maintenance, and the quality of the brand installed.

Determining the appropriate HVAC system size involves several factors, including your home's square footage, insulation quality, local climate, and overall layout. For precise sizing, a professional should perform a Manual J load calculation.

We recommend scheduling HVAC maintenance at least twice annually. Ideally, have your air conditioning serviced in the spring and your furnace checked in the fall to ensure optimal performance year-round.

Several issues could prevent your furnace from starting, including thermostat malfunctions, tripped circuit breakers, clogged filters, or ignition system problems. A professional technician can accurately diagnose and resolve the specific issue.

Furnace filters typically need replacement every one to three months. The frequency can depend on factors such as the type of filter, presence of pets, and the amount of dust in your home environment.

For comfort and energy efficiency, most homeowners set their thermostats between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit when at home. Lowering the temperature slightly when away can help reduce energy consumption.

An air conditioner blowing warm air can be due to various issues, such as insufficient refrigerant, dirty condenser coils, blocked air filters, or compressor malfunctions. A professional inspection can identify the root cause.

The time required to cool a house can vary, but generally, it takes about two to four hours to lower indoor temperatures by 5 to 10 degrees. This timeframe depends on factors like house size and outdoor temperature.

Air conditioning systems do not consume refrigerant during normal operation. If your system is low on refrigerant, it likely indicates a leak that requires professional repair rather than simple replenishment.
