Frequently Asked Heating & Air Conditioning Questions
What Size HVAC System Do I Need?
Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this question. It would be nice if there was a one size fits all for your heating and air conditioning equipment but that’s far from true. Each home is unique in its size, shape, square footage, etc. which means every home needs to be properly sized for the correct HVAC system that will fit their Charleston, SC home and meet their comfort needs and wants. Make sure you work with a qualified HVAC contractor when purchasing brand new heating and cooling equipment to ensure you buy the correct HVAC system for your Charleston, SC home.
How Can I Improve My HVAC System Efficiency?
Heating and cooling systems are incredibly smart and can run extremely efficiently, but that doesn’t mean you can ignore your equipment and expect it to continue working efficiently and effectively for you. In order to keep your heating and air conditioning system running efficiently, you have to step in. Regularly changing your air filters is a simple way to improve your HVAC system efficiency. Another easy way to improve efficiency is to schedule professional maintenance on a consistent basis.
What is IAQ and How Important Is It?
IAQ stands for indoor air quality and it is extremely important. The indoor air quality in your Charleston, SC home is strongly connected to the health and wellbeing of you and your family. Humans tend to spend a large amount of our time indoors, especially these past 2 years. Breathable air that’s free of health threatening pollutants can lead to a higher quality of time, a reduced risk of various chronic conditions, and a lower risk of respiratory illnesses.
How Often Does My HVAC System Need Professional Maintenance?
Regular heating and cooling system maintenance is extremely important for the health and efficiency of your HVAC system. We suggest having your air conditioning system inspected and worked on once a year in the early spring before the summer arrives and your heating system inspected once a year in the early fall before the cool weather settles in.
