Frequently Asked Questions About HVAC Services

We offer a range of HVAC services including installation, repair, and maintenance of heating, cooling, and ventilation systems.

We recommend getting your HVAC system gets a performance tune-up twice a year to ensure it is running efficiently and to catch any potential issues before they become major problems.

We work with a variety of HVAC systems including central air conditioning, ductless mini-split systems, heat pumps, and furnaces.

Check the thermostat setting (heating/cooling mode, correct temperature), batteries, and circuit breakers. If those are fine, inspect the air filter and power supply; persistent issues may require a professional check. 

A dirty or clogged filter is the most common cause. Replace filter every 1-3 momoths. Also, inspect vents and ductwork for blockage or leaks.

This often stems from blocked vent, duct issues, or poor insulation. Ensure vents are open, inspect ducts for leaks, and consider adjusting dampers to balance airflow. 

Freezing usually results from low refrigerant or restricted airflow (dirty filter/blocked coils). Set the thermostat above 70° F, turn off the system until ice melts, and replace filters. A professional may be needed for refrigerant issues. 

Leaks can be caused by a clogged condensate drain line, dirty drain pan, or frozen coils. Use a wet/dry vacuum to clear clogs, clean the pan, and restore air flow to resolve freezing. 

Short cycling is often due to airflow issues, thermostat problems, improper sizing, or low refrigerant. Start by replacing filters and ensuring proper venting; if issues persist, consult a technician.

High energy used often indicates inefficiency due to dirty filters, inefficient operation, refrigerant issues, or poor system maintenance. Regular filter changes in duct/insulation checks can help, though a full audit may be needed. 

Rattling or grinding may indicate loose components, worn belts, or motor issues. Strange smells could signal mold, burning components, or gas leaks. Address those promptly; orders or serious noises require a professional. 

Possible causes include incorrect settings, dead batteries, wiring issues, or a faulty unit. Try replacing the batteries first; if it still fails, wiring or controller replacement may be needed.
