  • Do you offer HVAC maintenance?

    Yes, we provide comprehensive maintenance and repair services for existing HVAC systems to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
  • What is the average lifespan of an HVAC system?

    With proper maintenance, furnaces typically last 15-20 years or more, while air conditioners generally have a lifespan of 12-15 years. Regular upkeep can significantly extend the life of your HVAC equipment.
  • What size HVAC system do I need for my home?

    Determining the appropriate HVAC system size involves considering multiple factors, including your home's square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, window count, local climate, and sun exposure. We recommend scheduling a consultation for a professional Manual J load calculation to ensure the most accurate sizing for your specific needs.
  • What is the difference between a heat pump and a furnace?

    A heat pump is an exterior unit that provides both heating and cooling by transferring heat from outside to inside your home, making it energy-efficient in moderate climates. It works in conjunction with an air handler during winter. In contrast, a furnace is an indoor unit that generates heat regardless of outdoor temperatures, providing consistent warmth in colder climates.
  • How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?

    The frequency of HVAC servicing depends on various factors, including your lifestyle and environment. Homes with pets or in high-construction areas may require more frequent maintenance. As a general guideline, we recommend changing or cleaning your air filter every one to three months and scheduling professional inspections at least annually.
