General HVAC Questions
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. It’s the technology used to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air inside your home or building.
We recommend a professional tune-up at least twice a year—once in the spring for your air conditioner and once in the fall for your furnace or heating system. This helps ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and longevity.
With proper maintenance, a typical HVAC system can last between 15 and 20 years. Regular tune-ups are key to extending its lifespan and preventing premature failure.
An air conditioner can only cool your home by removing heat and moving it outside. A heat pump can both cool and heat your home. In the summer, it works like an AC. In the winter, it reverses the flow of refrigerant to extract heat from the outside air and bring it inside.

Products & Technology
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It’s a measure of an air conditioner’s cooling efficiency. A higher SEER rating indicates a more energy-efficient unit, which can lead to lower utility bills.
A heat pump is an HVAC system that provides both heating and cooling by moving heat. In the summer, it moves heat from inside your home to the outside; in the winter, it reverses the process, extracting heat from the outdoor air to warm your home.
Smart thermostats provide enhanced control and energy savings. They can be programmed to adjust temperatures automatically, can be controlled remotely from your phone, and can even learn your heating and cooling preferences. This helps reduce energy waste and lower your utility costs.
A mini-split, or ductless system, is a heating and cooling system that doesn’t use traditional ductwork. It consists of an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers. Mini-splits are ideal for cooling additions to a home, converted attics, or older homes that lack ductwork.
Both are ratings of an air conditioner’s energy efficiency. SEER2 is a newer, more rigorous testing standard that accounts for factors like a home’s ductwork and static pressure, providing a more accurate real-world efficiency rating. A higher number for both ratings indicates a more efficient unit.

Indoor Air Quality
You can improve IAQ by regularly changing your air filters, using an air purifier, installing a humidifier or dehumidifier to control moisture, and ensuring proper ventilation.
Signs can be both physical and environmental. Look for frequent headaches, dizziness, or fatigue; persistent allergy symptoms (sneezing, watery eyes, stuffy nose); or respiratory issues that seem to improve when you leave the house. Environmental signs include musty odors, excessive dust buildup, and visible mold or mildew.
We recommend changing your HVAC filter every 1 to 3 months. If you have pets or someone in your home has allergies or a respiratory condition, you should change it more frequently. A clean filter improves air quality and system efficiency.
An air filter is a passive device that traps larger particles (like dust) as air passes through your HVAC system. An air purifier is an active device that uses technology (such as UV lights or ionization) to actively destroy or neutralize smaller airborne particles like bacteria, viruses, and mold spores that a filter might miss.
Common pollutants include particulates (dust, pollen, pet dander), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning products and furnishings, mold and mildew spores, and harmful gases like carbon monoxide and radon.
A whole-home dehumidifier works with your HVAC system to remove excess moisture from the air throughout your entire house. Maintaining optimal humidity levels (typically between 30-50%) prevents mold and mildew growth, protects wood furnishings, and makes your home feel more comfortable.
