FAQs
Q: What does HVAC mean?
A: You may have heard this expression before. It is often used in the field to refer to your heating and cooling system. It literally stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Q: What type of maintenance do I need to do on my heating and cooling unit?
A: As a house owner, taking care of your system is genuinely not brain surgery. There are a few details that you should keep in mind. The key element to remember is suitable circulation. This indicates that you need to check your air filters quite often and change them out when they are dirty. It also suggests that you need to make sure that your air vents aren’t obstructed by items such as home furniture. In fact, don’t even close air vents to spaces that are less frequently used. You are making your system run more than need be, using more power to do so, and wasting money. Finally, be sure to plan an annual tune-up on your air conditioning system. This ought to be performed in the spring season. Set up an annual tune-up on your heater in the autumn.
Q: Should a loud noise coming out of my AC and heating system be something that worries me?
A: A noisy HVAC unit can be annoying to you and your next-door neighbors. Whether or not your system seems to be operating well, no one needs to know when your system is kicking on or off. This is especially the case when your unit is in close distance to a bedroom window. Also, sound pollution is a major concern and a noisy HVAC system definitely contributes to it. The reason that your system is so noisy is commonly because of the following:
- Your unit is older
- The style of unit you have
- Your compressor-insulted or not
Fortunately, new systems have sound ratings that you can compare. Most modern units are constructed to be quieter than their earlier counterparts. Sound ratings will direct you as to which model might work best for you. A quieter model will be more suitable if there is a bedroom nearby.
Q: I have an idea of the hazards of CO. Is this something I must be worried about?
A: When you have a carbon monoxide gas leak at home, it is an unsafe predicament. It can result in serious health risks, including things like fatalities. Carbon monoxide is not something that you can observe or smell. Make sure to get a CO sensor in your house. Furthermore, you can prevent a dangerous problem similar to this by having an HVAC service provider conduct suitable maintenance and care on your system.
Q: What does IAQ stand for?
A: IAQ is a term that house owners should know. It is a word that stands for Indoor Air Quality. In the news and media, outdoor air pollution is a common theme. However, indoor air pollution poses more of a risk to property owners than outdoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution is determined as the amount of pollution that exists within a structure including your home. Exposure to these pollutants is more prevalent than you might realize. Newly constructed homes are built so that there is not enough airflow or exchange between outdoor and indoor air. This is wonderful for energy efficiency but it does cause a challenge for air quality. A homeowner can avoid this problem by having a system that is made to greatly improve air quality.
Q: What are the causes of indoor air pollution?
A: Indoor air pollution is a concern that should be addressed by all homeowners. This is especially the case for house owners who have a newly built home. These houses are built so tightly that they do not aerate as well as older homes do. A tightly built home allows the highest possible energy efficiency. Having said that, it means that property owners should really have a whole house ventilation system to avoid being exposed. Factors to indoor air pollution are:
- Carpet
- Furniture
- Drapes or window curtains
- Upholstery
- Chemical cleaning products
These products send out fumes and gases that accumulate. The build-up of these gases and fumes is the leading reason for indoor air pollution.
Q: Should I cover up my outside unit through the winter season?
A: Your outside unit is constructed to deal with the harshest of winters so it is not a good idea to cover your unit. If an individual were to mistakenly turn on the air conditioning unit when your unit is covered, it can wreck the condenser and all of its components.
Q: Will an updated Florida HVAC system lower my electrical bills?
A: A brand new Florida HVAC system will absolutely save you money. It will drop your home heating and air conditioning charges. A system’s efficiency is established by its SEER rating. SEER is a term in the HVAC trade that means Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. New designs are mandated by law to have a minimum 13 SEER rating. With a SEER 13, operating costs can be lowered by as much as 50%. This suggests that, yes, your updated system will definitely lower your power bills.
Q: I want to landscape my home in the early spring. Can I plant near my outdoor unit?
A: When you landscape your yard, you will want to pay very close attention to the area around your outdoor air unit. Make sure your plants are at least 18 inches to 2 feet from your unit. This includes the area on the sides of your unit and the area above your unit. Your outdoor unit needs suitable air circulation all around it in order for it to run the way that you want it to. House owners often make the mistake of planting too close to their unit or failing to remember to trim the vegetation around their unit. This has triggered costly and avoidable repairs.
Q: The temperature inside of my house is fine but my unit’s fan seems to be running all of the time. What should I do?
A: Check your thermostat. Property owners accidentally set it to the on position rather than the auto position. The on position makes your fan to blow all the time which takes more power.
Q: Can I close off doorways and vents to rooms that aren’t typically used?
A: No. You should not do this because a system is accurately designed to match the ductwork and the comfort necessities of your house. When you do close it off, you overwork your system’s blower motor, causing it to work harder. This will make it less energy-efficient since it will cycle more often.
