FAQs

Find answers to your most pressing cooling-related questions right here.

How often should I service?

It's recommended to service your cooling system at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps ensure efficiency and prolongs the lifespan of your unit. Schedule your service before the hot season for optimal performance.

What are common issues?

Common cooling issues include insufficient cooling, strange noises, and leaks. These problems can often be traced back to dirty filters or refrigerant issues. Addressing these promptly can save you from costly repairs.

How to improve efficiency?

To improve efficiency, regularly replace or clean your air filters. Additionally, ensure your thermostat is functioning correctly and consider using ceiling fans to circulate air. A well-maintained system can significantly reduce energy costs.

When to replace unit?

If your cooling unit is over 15 years old and requires frequent repairs, it may be time for a replacement. Consider the cost of repairs versus the cost of a new unit. Upgrading can lead to better efficiency and lower energy bills.

Can I install myself?

While some minor repairs can be DIY, installing a cooling system requires professional expertise. Incorrect installation can lead to inefficiency and safety hazards. It's best to hire a licensed technician for installation.

What is SEER rating?

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio and measures cooling efficiency. A higher SEER rating indicates a more efficient unit, which can lead to lower energy bills. When purchasing a new system, consider the SEER rating for long-term savings.

How to troubleshoot issues?

Start by checking your thermostat settings and ensuring the unit is powered on. Inspect air filters and replace them if they are dirty. If issues persist, contact a professional for a thorough diagnosis.

What maintenance is needed?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning or replacing filters, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting ductwork. Schedule annual professional inspections to catch potential issues early. Consistent care will keep your system running smoothly.

What are ductless systems?

Ductless systems, or mini-splits, provide heating and cooling without ductwork. They are ideal for homes without existing ducts and offer flexible installation options. Ductless systems can be more energy-efficient and provide zoned temperature control.

How to choose size?

Choosing the right size unit is crucial for efficiency. An undersized unit will struggle to cool your space, while an oversized unit can lead to increased energy costs. Consult with a professional to determine the best size for your needs.
