Service-Specific Questions
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance?
We recommend scheduling HVAC maintenance at least twice a year—once in the spring for your cooling system and once in the fall for your heating system. Regular tune-ups help prevent costly breakdowns, improve efficiency, and extend your equipment’s life.
What’s the difference between AC repair and AC replacement?
AC repair involves fixing specific components or system issues, while AC replacement means installing a new unit. If your system is over 10 years old, frequently breaks down, or no longer cools efficiently, it may be more cost-effective to replace it with a newer, energy-efficient model.
Are ductless AC systems a good option?
Yes! Ductless systems offer efficient, flexible cooling for individual rooms or zones. They’re perfect for older homes without ductwork, room additions, or anyone looking to reduce energy usage without sacrificing comfort.
How long does a typical HVAC installation take?
Most residential HVAC installations take one full day. Our team works efficiently and cleanly to minimize disruption while ensuring everything is installed correctly and tested for optimal performance.
What’s included in a maintenance plan?
Our maintenance plans include seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling, discounts on repairs, full system inspections, safety checks, and detailed reports with any recommended actions. It’s the best way to keep your system running smoothly year-round.
