What is a geothermal HVAC system, and how does it work?2023-03-21T13:13:41-06:00

A geothermal HVAC system uses the constant temperature of the ground to heat or cool your home, improving energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact.

What is an evaporator coil?2023-03-21T13:13:17-06:00

An evaporator coil is a component of an air conditioning system that removes heat from indoor air, allowing the cooled air to be circulated throughout your home.

How can I tell if my HVAC system has a refrigerant leak?2023-03-21T13:12:19-06:00

Signs of a refrigerant leak include reduced cooling or heating capacity, hissing or bubbling noises, and ice buildup on the refrigerant lines or coils.

What is a smart thermostat, and how does it work?2023-03-21T13:11:54-06:00

A smart thermostat allows you to control your HVAC system remotely using a smartphone or other device and can learn your temperature preferences to save energy.

Can I use my HVAC system to dehumidify my home?2023-03-21T13:11:36-06:00

Yes, many HVAC systems have built-in dehumidifiers or can be equipped with them to control humidity levels.

What is a heat exchanger, and why is it important?2023-03-21T13:11:17-06:00

A heat exchanger is a component of a furnace that transfers heat from the combustion process to the air being circulated throughout your home. It’s important for efficient and safe furnace operation.

How can I tell if my HVAC system is the right size for my home?2023-03-21T13:11:01-06:00

An HVAC professional can perform a load calculation to determine the appropriate size of your system based on factors such as square footage, insulation, and climate.

What is a ductless mini-split system, and how does it work?2023-03-21T13:10:43-06:00

A ductless mini-split system is an HVAC system that doesn’t require ductwork and consists of an outdoor compressor and one or more indoor air handlers.

What is SEER, and why is it important?2023-03-21T13:10:22-06:00

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and measures the cooling output of an air conditioner or heat pump per unit of energy. A higher SEER rating indicates greater energy efficiency.

How can I reduce the amount of dust in my home with my HVAC system?2023-03-21T13:09:51-06:00

Using a high-quality air filter, regular duct cleaning, and sealing air leaks can reduce the amount of dust in your home.

How do I choose the right HVAC contractor for installation or repair?2023-03-21T13:09:32-06:00

Look for licensed, insured contractors with experience in the type of system you need installed or repaired.

How do I know if my HVAC system is using too much energy?2023-03-21T13:09:12-06:00

High energy bills, frequent repairs, and uneven heating/cooling can indicate that your HVAC system is using too much energy.

What is the lifespan of an HVAC system?2023-03-21T13:08:40-06:00

The average lifespan of an HVAC system is 10-15 years, but proper maintenance can extend the lifespan.

How can I prevent frozen pipes in the winter with my HVAC system?2023-03-21T13:08:22-06:00

You can prevent frozen pipes by keeping your home at a consistent temperature, insulating pipes, and running water through them regularly.

How can I tell if my home is well-insulated?2023-03-21T13:07:53-06:00

Signs of good insulation include even temperatures throughout the home, low energy bills, and minimal drafts.

What are the benefits of zoning my HVAC system?2023-03-21T13:07:32-06:00

Zoning your HVAC system allows you to control temperatures in different areas of your home independently, reducing energy waste and increasing comfort.

What is the difference between a furnace and a boiler for heating?2023-03-21T13:03:28-06:00

A furnace heats air, which is then distributed through ductwork, while a boiler heats water, which is then circulated through pipes and radiators.

How do I know if I need to replace my HVAC system?2023-03-21T12:47:29-06:00

If your system is more than 10-15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or is no longer heating or cooling effectively, it may be time for a replacement.

What is a programmable thermostat, and how does it save energy?2023-03-21T12:47:03-06:00

A programmable thermostat allows you to set temperatures for different times of day, reducing energy usage when you’re not at home or sleeping.

What is a heat pump, and how does it differ from a traditional HVAC system?2023-03-21T12:46:33-06:00

A heat pump is an HVAC system that can both heat and cool your home using a refrigerant cycle. It differs from a traditional HVAC system in that it doesn’t use a separate furnace for heating.
