The Things You Need to Know
Though learning every nuance of the system’s operation is unnecessary, it is helpful to have some basic HVAC information on hand for the sake of efficiency and convenience. Take a look at these 7 frequently asked questions about HVAC service systems and have them ready for your next service appointment with your expert.
How frequently should my air ducts be cleaned?
Consider having your ducts cleaned, inspected, and perhaps resealed every five to eight years, depending on the sort of air filtering system your HVAC system has.
Does my home require surge protection?
The short answer is “yes.” As with the vast majority of protective purchases, the benefits are contingent. You may install a surge protector and find that you never have to use it; in that case, you should be thankful for avoiding stormy weather and lightning strikes. However, if we’re discussing the total electrical power of your system, surge protection is an ideal precaution.
Why do I have inadequate airflow?
Usually, inadequate airflow is the result of a poorly built duct system. When your system is insufficiently sealed or an air leak goes unnoticed, your system’s airflow is uneven. If air does not move to the opposite side of your home, you may require a professional to rework your duct system, or a zone damper system may be a better alternative.
Should I power down my unit?
Never leave your system entirely off. Raise or decrease your thermostats by 3 to 5 degrees. So that your system keeps the perfect temperature all day long and you don’t have to turn it up when you get home.
Why do my AC lights flicker?
If your outside unit makes your lights dim, it’s using too much power to turn on.. Use programmable thermostats or a start-assist to keep your HVAC system on.
Where’s the dust coming from?
If you notice more dust, check how your air is filtered. Inefficient filters include improper size or poor quality. Add an air cleaner to the ventilation system in your home.
Why is my summer electric bills are high?
Frequently, a system breakdown, an undetected air leak, or an outdated, inefficient system causes an electrical surge. You desire a speedy diagnosis in order to avoid costly expenses.
