What size HVAC systems should I have?

HVAC systems are not one size fits all. The optimal size and type of HVAC system for your space depends entirely on the construction, layout, and square footage. Other influential factors may include the number of windows in your home and the directions they face, elements surrounding your house, attic or basement spaces, and your household’s expectations for temperate comfort. Hiring a licensed HVAC professional to evaluate your home is the best way to find the best-fit HVAC system for your space. An experienced HVAC expert can offer size recommendations after examining your home’s layout and determining your individual needs.

How can I make my HVAC system more efficient?

When it comes to HVAC efficiency, there are many steps you can take to improve your system’s performance. First, establish a preventive maintenance routine with your local heating and air specialist. Frequent tune-ups and system inspections will ensure your unit is operating at its best and prevent urgent repairs from happening down the line. On top of regular professional maintenance, you should also monitor your HVAC system on your own, paying close attention to your air filters, air ducts, thermostat settings, and more. By keeping a close eye on your system’s most crucial components, you can avoid unexpected HVAC repairs and maintain indoor comfort all year.

How often should I replace my air filters?

Generally, you should change your air filters every 30-60 days to properly maintain indoor air quality. However, this can vary depending on your lifestyle. If you have pets or frequently suffer from allergies, you’ll want to change your filter more often to avoid clogging from dirt, pet dander, and other contaminants.

What are air ducts, and how do they affect airflow?

Air ducts are the internal passages that distribute warm or cool air throughout your home. These critical HVAC components are responsible for your home’s airflow and require consistent attention. You should regularly have your air ducts professionally cleaned, insulated, and sealed by your local HVAC specialist. When you neglect your air ducts, they become more susceptible to hazardous dirt, dust, and mold buildup. As a result, you will experience diminished airflow and lower indoor air quality, ultimately increasing your power bills and worsening your indoor allergies.

What are the benefits of a programmable thermostat?

Programmable thermostats offer a variety of benefits for residential and commercial HVAC users. They can optimize your home’s energy efficiency and decrease monthly utility costs. By identifying your household’s preferences, programmable thermostats establish a heating and cooling schedule that automatically adjusts to your temperature patterns and conserves energy when you’re away.

At what temperature should I set my thermostat?

Your temperature settings will vary depending on the season and outdoor climate. We recommend setting your thermostat to the 74-76 degree range during the warmer months. You’ll want to be frugal with your thermostat settings and avoid setting the temperature too low, as this will increase your energy bills. During colder months, homeowners should set their thermostats to the 65-68 degree range. You can save money and stay warm in your space by being judicious with your heat usage and bundling up in warm sweaters and blankets.

What is the best way to make my system last?

There’s nothing worse than when your HVAC system’s life is cut short. Given these units are a huge investment, you’ll want to get the most out of your system. Luckily, there are several measures you can take to maintain your HVAC unit’s efficiency and extend its lifespan. We recommend reducing usage whenever possible, replacing air filters frequently, monitoring system components, and scheduling routine maintenance. With regular tune-ups by professionals and continuous care and monitoring from your household, your HVAC system will stand the test of time.
