FAQ

• What temperature of the air should my AC produce?

  The temperature of the air that your system produces depends on the temperature of the air going in. The air produced should be 18 to 20 degrees lower than what enters the system. Thus, if the air entering the system is 70°, the air exiting should be about 50°-52°. This only works if the system has been on and running for at least 15 minutes. On a mild day, the air coming out could be 15°-17° cooler than what enters.
  

• What maintenance can I do for my air conditioner?

  The most important maintenance that you can do is to change your filters regularly. Outdoor units that that are mounted to the ground should be clear of clutter and debris. Pets should be kept away from the unit because pet urine can cause costly damage to the unit. Also, be careful with a weed trimmer as you can damage control wiring. Only qualified staff should do any other maintenance on your air conditioner.
  

• What size HVAC system is right for my home?

  There are several factors that need to be considered when choosing the size of HVAC for your space. Some of them are the height of the ceiling, size of the window, placement of the window. There are dozens of other variables that have to be taken into consideration when choosing a proper size for a heating and/or cooling system. A professional load calculation is a must for an effective system.
  

• What size is my filter and how often should I replace?

  There's no one-size-fits-all answer. The frequency of filter changes is driven by how much your heating and air conditioning system operates, which is also driven by your individual climate. Start by checking the system's filters at least once a month. Hold the used filter up to the light and compare it to a clean "spare". When light is obscured by captured dust and dirt particles, the old filter should be changed. Keep a record for one year and then replace the filter on that basis. At a minimum, it is always a good idea to change filters at the start of the heating and cooling seasons and then in between according to your need. Also, it is a good idea to have your heating and air system checked at the beginning of heating and cooling season to insure proper operation.
