In our experience as a heating and air conditioning company, once a month is a pretty good rule of thumb. The answer could be more or less depending on where you live and how much dirt, pet dander, and other contaminants are present. Check your filter frequently. If it's dirty, change it.

Heating and cooling units need regular check-ups to ensure everything is operating properly. The HVAC experts at our heating company recommend an annual inspection and service call. 

Technicians should inspect your system, lubricate components, and repair or replace malfunctioning components.

Unless you have professional knowledge of HVAC electrical system layouts and the proper meters to test all the working components of your AC, you are putting yourself and your air conditioner at a significant risk for harm. 

As an experienced air conditioning repair company, we can diagnose and fix your AC unit.

Our heating and air conditioning company accounts for many factors when determining what size heating and cooling unit you’ll need. We look at the type of house you own, its walls, insulation, attic space, and more. 

A system that's too large could result in a home that’s too humid, causing problems with moisture and mold. 

A system that's too small will run constantly and increase your energy bill. 

Only a qualified heating and cooling technician can determine what size unit is best for your home.

In most cases, the answer is yes. First, air conditioner and heat pump outdoor units are manufactured to work with a matching indoor unit. When you mix and match units, it can result in reduced efficiency and performance. 

Also, if you bought your indoor and outdoor units at the same time, your indoor unit will probably be approaching the end of its useful life at about the same time as the outdoor unit. By not replacing the indoor unit too, all you’re doing is delaying the inevitable and likely paying higher energy bills in the meantime.

By purchasing an indoor and outdoor unit together, you’ll get a warranty covering the whole system. That way, you won’t have to cover the full cost of any needed repairs to your unit during the warranty period. To learn more, call our heating and air conditioning company today.

While covering your unit can prevent unwanted debris from accumulating on the unit, it can also cause problems if you try to operate it with the covering in place. 

If you’re going on a long trip and plan to turn the unit off while you’re gone, feel free to cover it up. 

Just make sure you disconnect the power source before leaving. If your unit isn't functioning properly, call our heating repair company for a free estimate.

Several factors can cause your air conditioning system to freeze. Wear and tear may lead to refrigerant leaks, lowering pressure and causing freezing due to insufficient refrigerant. 

Lower freon levels force the refrigerant to expand more. The more it expands, the cooler the temperature. The colder temperature will cause moisture around your unit’s evaporator coil to freeze.
