How Often Should I Service My Furnace?

Annually -- you should service any heating system at least once a year, ideally in the fall before the heating season begins. This annual maintenance helps ensure your furnace operates efficiently, safely, and without issues that could lead to costly repairs.

Should I Leave the Mini Split Running or Turn It Off When I Leave?

Believe it or not it is more energy efficient for you to leave the mini split running. The system is designed to run non-stop throughout the day, making them the perfect "set and forget" option. They automatically adapt to the conditions within your home. Adjusting the temperature often or turning them off when you leave can decrease efficiency as these actions interrupt its operation and negatively impact the performance.

How Often Should I Change My Air Filters?

The frequency of air filter changes depends on several factors, including the type of filter, household / office size, pet presence, and local air quality. A general rule is every quarter, but reach out and we can discuss your specific situation.

How Much Does AC Installation Cost?

The cost of AC installation can vary significantly -- Pricing depends heavily on the size of the space (square footage), the layout and configuration of the rooms, ceiling height, insulation levels, existing ductwork (if any), electrical capacity, and overall cooling load requirements.

There are also important equipment factors that impact cost, such as whether you’re considering a central air conditioning system, a heat pump, or ductless mini split systems. If the system is not customized to your specific space, it may not cool the space enough for your needs, and it may not run as efficiently as it should.

To provide accurate pricing, we would need to gather more information about your space and comfort goals. The best next step would be a consultation so we can assess your property, perform a proper load calculation, and design a customized air conditioning solution tailored specifically to your needs and budget.
