How often should I change or clean my air filter?
Typically, filters should be changed every 1–3 months, depending on the filter type and home environment. Check the filter monthly and change it when it appears dirty.
How often should my system be serviced?
Professional service is recommended twice a year, in the spring and fall, to ensure peak performance.
How do I know if my system needs repair or replacement?
Consider the age of the system, the frequency of repairs, your energy bills, and the cost of a new unit versus the cost of continued repairs.
What are the benefits of a new, high-efficiency system?
New systems are more energy-efficient, which can lead to lower utility bills. You can determine efficiency by looking at the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating; a higher number indicates greater efficiency.
How can I improve indoor air quality?
Regularly changing filters, keeping the system clean, and considering an air purification system can improve indoor air quality.
