Should I repair or replace my HVAC system?
While your decision will vary based on a number of factors, we recommend performing a replacement when the repair cost equals 30% of a new purchase or when your utility bills have increased by 50% due to your older, less efficient system.
How much money can I save by upgrading my equipment?
Today’s Energy-Star-rated systems are up to 60% more efficient than 10-year-old units. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that their HVAC equipment can make up about 44% of the overall energy bill.
Do I need a central HVAC system in my home?
Due to its convenient technology and effective setups, central air conditioning systems are the most reasonable solution for comfort, air quality, and humidity control in any residence.
What is the best thermostat to use with my HVAC setup?
We recommend choosing a programmable thermostat to deliver accurate energy-saving performance. Our team is happy to speak with you about your options, including Wi-Fi support and mobile connectivity.
How do I know which contractor to choose?
We suggest seeking a contractor who is associated with a recognized brand. If a top manufacturer endorses their work, there’s a better chance that their workmanship is solid, which will make you more confident in their services.
How do I know which HVAC system is right for me?
Turn to an expert for a custom solution. The right contractor will perform a full analysis to determine your energy use and overall operating costs. With this information, your contractor can customize a system to fit your needs.
Can components on my existing system be used in the new setup?
Because each system is different, it is important to undergo individualized service. Our contractor performs a full inspection of your setup before providing you with a rundown of components that need to be replaced.
How long does a new system installation take?
Your project will vary based on the house, system, and other factors. While heating and cooling systems require different components, all setups require ductwork that has been sized and zoned for performance.
What does an air handler do to help the HVAC setup?
The air handler works to circulate conditioned air through every part of the home. By combining this tool with the right accessories, you can also filter, humidify, or dehumidify the stream.
How can I fix my indoor air quality?
There are countless products on the market to help you improve your overall air quality. By choosing humidifiers, dehumidifiers, ventilation systems, UV lights, and other technologies, you can easily upgrade your space.
