FAQ

Why is my AC blowing warm air?

This could be due to low refrigerant, a dirty filter, or a malfunctioning compressor. Schedule a diagnostic to pinpoint the issue.

Why is my air conditioner freezing up?

Common causes include restricted airflow, low refrigerant, or dirty coils. Turn off the system and call for service.

How often should I replace my AC filter?

Every 1–3 months depending on usage, pets, and allergies. A clean filter improves efficiency and air quality.

What size AC unit do I need for my home?

It depends on square footage, insulation, and climate. We offer consultations to help you choose the right repair or replacement options.

Why is my furnace not turning on?

Check the thermostat, power switch, and circuit breaker. If those are fine, it may be a faulty ignitor or sensor.

Why does my furnace smell like burning?

A dusty smell is normal at startup. A metallic or electrical smell could indicate a serious issue — shut it off and call us.

How long does a furnace typically last?

Most furnaces last 15–20 years with regular maintenance. We offer tune-ups to extend lifespan and prevent breakdowns.

What's the best thermostat setting for winter?

68°F is ideal for comfort and efficiency. Lower it when you're away to save energy.

Why is my boiler making loud banging noises?

This could be “kettling” — caused by limescale buildup or trapped air. It’s best to have it inspected.

What's the difference between a boiler and a furnace?

Boilers use hot water or steam; furnaces use forced air. We service both and offer hot water heater replacements when needed.
