Whether you are replacing your old AC, maintaining your furnace, or dealing with emergency heating issues, understanding your HVAC system is critical to keeping your home comfortable and your energy bills low.
In this comprehensive guide, we will take you through everything you need to know.
Stage 1: System Maintenance & Review
The foundation of any healthy HVAC system is routine maintenance. Without it, filters clog, coils freeze, and motors burn out prematurely.
- Filter Replacement: Check your filters every month and replace them every 90 days at minimum.
- Coil Cleaning: Dirt acts as an insulator, preventing your evaporator coil from absorbing heat.
- Refrigerant Levels: If your system is low on refrigerant, you have a leak that needs to be sealed.
Stage 2: Professional Repairs
When things break, you need a licensed professional. Don't try to handle high-voltage electrical components or refrigerant chemicals yourself. Here are common repairs:
Capacitor Replacement
Capacitors jumpstart your compressor and fan motors. They are the most common part to fail during extreme heat waves.
Contactor Issues
Contactors act as switches. Over time, the contacts can become pitted and burnt, preventing electricity from reaching the compressor.
"Catching a failing capacitor early can save you from a complete compressor burnout, saving you thousands of dollars in emergency replacements."
Stage 3: Full System Installations
Sometimes repairing a 15-year-old system is throwing good money after bad. When you are ready for a new system, professional installation is more important than the brand of equipment you choose.
We ensure exact duct sizing, proper refrigerant charging, and rigorous airflow testing.
