Frequently Asked Questions

How can I tell if my HVAC system needs to be repaired or replaced?
Determining whether your AC system needs repair or replacement can depend on several factors. Here are some key points to consider:
- Age of the System: If your AC system is more than 10-15 years old, it might be time to consider replacement, especially if it requires frequent repairs or isn’t energy-efficient.
- Repair Costs: Frequent and costly repairs can be a sign that your AC system is nearing the end of its useful life. If the cost of a repair approaches 50% of the value of a new system, it’s generally more cost-effective to replace it.
- Energy Bills: An increase in your energy bills could indicate that your AC system is losing efficiency. Older systems tend to work harder to produce the same level of cooling, which consumes more energy.
- Cooling Efficiency: If some rooms are too hot or too cold, or if the system struggles to maintain a consistent temperature, there could be issues with your AC system that might require either major repairs or replacement.
- Noise and Odors: Unusual noises or smells coming from your AC system can indicate serious problems. If these issues are persistent, it’s advisable to get a professional evaluation.
- Refrigerant Type: If your system uses R22 refrigerant, which is now phased out due to environmental regulations, repairing it might become increasingly expensive and difficult. Replacement with a newer, more environmentally friendly system might be a more sensible option.
To make an informed decision, it’s best to schedule a consultation to inspect your system and provide an assessment based on its current condition, performance, and potential future issues.
Can you help with reducing my energy bills?
Yes! A Home Energy Audit is one of the most effective ways to uncover why your energy bills are high and how to lower them. Here’s how an audit helps:
Pinpoints Energy Waste: Using advanced tools like blower door tests, thermal cameras, and pressure pans, we identify where conditioned air is leaking—through attics, ducts, insulation gaps, windows, or doors. Stopping those leaks means less wasted energy.
Reduces Energy Consumption: When your home is sealed and insulated properly, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your home comfortable. That translates directly into lower monthly energy use and reduced utility bills.
Extends Equipment Life: By reducing the strain on your HVAC system, an energy-efficient home helps your heating and cooling equipment last longer, saving you from costly repairs or replacements.
Keeps Temperatures Consistent: Drafts and insulation gaps create hot and cold spots in your home. Fixing these issues helps maintain steady, comfortable indoor temperatures without constant system cycling—another way to cut down on wasted energy.
Overall, a Home Energy Audit doesn’t just save you money on energy bills. It also improves comfort, helps your equipment last longer, and prevents small inefficiencies from turning into big, costly problems later on.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my HVAC system?
It’s generally recommended to schedule maintenance for your HVAC system at least twice a year. This helps ensure that the system is running efficiently and can help prevent unexpected breakdowns. Here are a few specific tips:
- Heating Maintenance: Schedule this in early fall before the heating season begins. This can include checking the furnace operation, inspecting the heat exchanger, and replacing the air filter.
- Cooling Maintenance: Schedule this in the spring before the cooling season starts. Tasks typically include cleaning the condenser coils, checking the refrigerant levels, and calibrating the thermostat.
Regular maintenance not only extends the lifespan of your HVAC system but also helps maintain its energy efficiency, which can reduce your energy bills. If you live in a region with extreme weather conditions, such as Phoenix, Arizona, you might consider scheduling bi-annual maintenance to ensure your system handles the intense summer heat effectively.
