How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?

We recommend a professional tune-up at least once a year. A twice-a-year schedule, once in the spring for your AC and once in the fall for your furnace is even better. Regular maintenance is key to preventing unexpected breakdowns, improving energy efficiency, and extending the life of your system.

Why are my energy bills so high?

High energy bills can be caused by several factors, but often a major culprit is an inefficient HVAC system. This can be due to a dirty air filter, a lack of regular maintenance, leaky ductwork, or an aging unit that's struggling to keep up. A professional inspection can identify the exact cause and recommend the best solution to lower your costs.

What's the best temperature to set my thermostat in summer and winter?

The "best" temperature is a balance of comfort and efficiency. During the summer, a common recommendation is around 78°F when you're home. In the winter, setting your thermostat to 68°F during the day and lowering it at night or when you're away can help you save a significant amount on your heating bill.

How do I know when it's time to replace my HVAC system?

The average lifespan of an HVAC system is about 10-15 years. You should consider a replacement if your system is frequently breaking down, requires expensive repairs, or is struggling to keep your home comfortable. Upgrading to a new, high-efficiency model can also lead to substantial savings on your energy bills that offset the initial cost.
