HVAC Repair And Maintenance Questions
How Often Should HVAC Systems Be Serviced?
For home systems, our technicians recommend scheduling twice-yearly inspections and maintenance (spring and fall). Commercial HVAC systems may require more regular maintenance than home systems. Our team of expert technicians recommends having an industrial HVAC system serviced quarterly or monthly, depending on its usage and complexity.
What Is The Typical Lifespan of A Residential Or Commercial HVAC System?
A residential HVAC system typically lasts about 15-20 years, depending on its service frequency, usage, and type. Commercial HVAC systems will generally have a similar or even a slightly shorter lifespan than residential systems, but this will vary based on how the system is being used as well as undergoing regular maintenance.
How Do I Choose The Right HVAC System for My Home Or Business?
Choosing the ideal HVAC system for your home or industrial facility starts by understanding the unique needs of your space and your long-term energy goals. Important things to consider before you install a new HVAC system include:
-
Ensure the system is the right size for your home or business—an HVAC unit that is either over or undersized for your space will run inefficiently and will increase your overall energy costs. Take advantage of our technicians’ precise measurements and get the ideal HVAC system for your space.
-
Research the energy-efficiency rating of your desired system—the higher rating a system has, often translates to lower energy bills and higher performance quality, providing homeowners and businesses with reduced operational expenses without sacrificing quality, reliability or efficiency. Before you decide on an HVAC system, our team recommends ensuring that it aligns with your energy consumption needs and efficiency goals.
-
Consider its unique needs—take into consideration how often it will need to be maintained based on its system type, the quality of its construction, how it fits into your budget, and the overall quality of installation.
