How long are heating and air conditioning units expected to last?
HVAC systems can last many years if they're maintained well. They can last for 12-20 years. Some units I've serviced are closer to 30 years. But that is rare. You should learn what to do before you replace an air conditioner.
What is the significance of SEER?
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rate (SEER) is an indicator of how efficient an air conditioner unit is. Higher numbers are indicative of units that consume less power. It is important to choose the correct amount and install the HVAC system correctly in order to get the best SEER. SEER is basically equivalent to the reported fuel economy of a car. You can reach 30 MPH under certain conditions. But, not while you're driving along IH-10 at rush hour.
What is HSPF?
Similar to SEER's Heating Seasonal performance Factor, HSPF refers to heating furnaces or heaters. This rating shows how efficient they work. The system is more efficient if it has a higher score. HSPF stands for Heat Output to Watt Hours.
What is included in an air conditioner or heating tune-up?
We recommend HVAC systems being serviced in milder seasons like fall and spring, before the heat or blast of winter. Find out more about air conditioner tune ups or heater performance tuning. Regular maintenance helps to keep your heater's warranty intact. Here are more details about our HVAC maintenance guide.
Why is it necessary to change my airfilter regularly?
Regular filter change will help keep your heating/cooling system running at maximum efficiency and improve indoor air quality. You must change your filters frequently to maintain proper airflow. Service technicians can provide recommendations for filtering and purification and recommend a replacement program.
How often should I clean my filters?
We recommends changing your disposable filters at least one time per season. Washable filters need to be cleaned at least once a month. We AC & Heating technician in your area will recommend a schedule that provides the best efficiency for your particular system. We A/C and Heating provides maintenance services to ensure your system is in good condition.

What is a MERV?
MERV stands to indicate minimum efficiency reporting value. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, ASHRAE, has developed a measurement system (1-16) to measure the effectiveness of filter air. Higher MERVs indicate that an air filter is more efficient. This makes it harder for your system's air to flow through it. For most situations, we recommend filters between 7-11 MERV.
