FAQs
Q: What does HVAC mean?
A: HVAC is an acronym that means heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Q: What type of upkeep do I need to do on my cooling and heating unit?
A: The solution to HVAC upkeep is correct circulation. This implies that just about anything that constricts airflow should be immediately fixed. Things like dust, debris, or dirt should be cleared away. Your air filters should normally be clean for proper circulation. A yearly tune-up on your AC should be planned in the springtime and an annual tune-up on your furnace should be arranged in the fall time.
Q: How do I figure out when to change out my air filter?
A: We recommend that you change your air filter on a monthly basis. Having said that, it is best to change your filters as frequently as needed to ensure that your system performs with most effective efficiency. Examine them more frequently if you live in a dusty environment or have animals. If your filter appears dirty, then make sure to substitute it right away.
Q: Should a loud noise coming out of my cooling system and heating unit be something that concerns me?
A: You should absolutely do something about a loud noise coming out of your HVAC system. First, you do not need to be a contributor to sound pollution. Although your system may be functioning well, your next-door neighbors will enjoy not needing to hear your system each time it turns on. There are many elements that trigger a loud system. They include:
- Age
- Make of the unit
- Whether the compressor is insulated
Most present-day systems are a whole lot more quieter than their earlier comparable versions. That being said, be sure to compare makes and models and compare the sound ratings for each. You do not need to install one that is a little louder than another option particularly if it is located right next to your bedroom window.
Q: What are the causes of indoor air pollution?
A: Indoor air pollution is an issue that should be addressed by all property owners. This is specifically the case for homeowners who have a newly constructed house. These houses are constructed so tightly that they do not aerate as well as older homes do. A tightly built home allows the highest possible energy efficiency. However, it indicates that homeowners should really have a whole house ventilation system to prevent being exposed. Contributors to indoor air pollution are:
- Carpets
- Home furniture
- Drapes or window curtains
- Upholstery
- Chemical cleaning items
These products produce fumes and gases that build up. The build-up of these gases and fumes is the primary reason for indoor air pollution.
Q: I have bought an updated furnace and air conditioning unit. How much time should I expect it to last?
A: This totally depends on a couple of variables. When you get a new furnace or air conditioner, they are manufactured to last almost 15-20 years. It needs to be noted that most HVAC systems end up being less energy efficient as they get older. Due to this fact, a 12 year old unit will not be as energy efficient as a brand-new one. You can help your current unit last and work more efficiently by effectively maintaining it. Good installation also plays a role in the service life of an HVAC system. Make sure that it is installed correctly by choosing a reputable Englewood Cliffs HVAC company, like SOS XTREME Comfort®.
Q: How can I make my heating and cooling system work more efficiently without having to upgrade it?
A: When you don’t really want to replace your system, you ought to properly maintain it. This means that you, as the house owner, have to do some preventative upkeep on your unit and also organize a tune-up every 6 months. It is advisable to arrange one in the early spring right before the heat hits and schedule one in the fall, right before the cold weather arrives. By doing this, you can greatly improve the energy efficiency of your unit by nearly 5% -10%. This makes a large difference on your power bill. One more tactic to keep your HVAC system energy efficient is by simply changing out dirty air filters. Be sure that you don’t opt for the least expensive filters. They frequently get dirty quite frequently which influences how much power your system uses. When you choose high quality filters, it keeps your system clean which means into big financial benefits considering that it won’t need to work as hard. Make sure not to shut the registers or vents in your house. The secret to making your system run properly is sufficient air circulation. Do not forget about your exterior unit. Don’t forget to permit alot of space around your outdoor unit for it to ‘breathe’.
Q: Will a new Englewood Cliffs HVAC system lower my electrical bills?
A: New HVAC systems are much more efficient than their prior equivalents . By regulation, they have to have a 13 SEER or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. This means that they are incredibly energy efficient. There are also systems that have a much higher SEER rating than 13. The higher the rating, the more energy efficient that it is. With a 13 SEER, you can save as much as 50% on operating charges.
Q: The temperature inside of my home is fine but my unit’s fan seems to be running all of the time. What should I do?
A: More than likely, your thermostat is set to the ‘on’ position. It is advisable to have it on the ‘auto’ setting. This setting will save electricity. The other setting, or the ‘on’ setting, does create a good even temperature in your home but it uses a lot of energy to accomplish this. It carries this out by making your fan blow all the time which equates into increased power expenses. The ‘auto’ setting should be adequate in order to keep your home comfortable.
Q: Can I shut doors and vents to areas that aren’t regularly used?
A: Do not shut rooms or vents. Regardless of the fact that it may feel like common sense, it is a waste of your finances. Your unit is matched to the duct system in your home. When you block areas, it forms a lot of pressure and ramps up your blower, the center of your HVAC system. This causes it to be less efficient and increases your home utility bill.
