Maintenance & Equipment

Q: How often should I service my HVAC system?
A: Twice per year — once before summer and once before winter for optimal performance and warranty compliance.

Q: How long will my system last?
A: With proper care, most systems last 15–20 years. Trane systems often last even longer.

A: Response times average 1–3 hours depending on location and call volume.

Licensing & Warranties

Q: Are your technicians licensed and insured?
A: Yes. All technicians are licensed, certified, and insured for HVAC and refrigeration work.

Indoor Air Quality & Efficiency

Q: How can I improve indoor air quality?
A: Use high-efficiency filters, UV purification, humidity control, and ventilation. We offer complete IAQ solutions.

Q: Will a new system reduce my energy bills?
A: Yes — new high-efficiency systems typically cut energy use by 20–40% versus older models.

Q: How often should I replace air filters?
A: Every 1–3 months for standard filters, or every 6 months for premium models — more often with pets or allergies.

Q: Do dirty ducts affect performance?
A: Yes. Blocked or leaking ducts reduce airflow, increase bills, and worsen air quality. We inspect and seal ducts professionally.
