  • How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?

    In our experience, most systems should be serviced twice a year, once for cooling (spring) and once for heating (fall) to ensure efficiency, safety, and long-term performance.

  • How long does an HVAC system typically last?

    From our observations, with proper maintenance, most units last 12–15 years, while high-quality or exceptionally well-maintained systems can last even longer. According to the EPA, if your HVAC equipment is more than 10 years old or failing to keep your house comfortable, you should have it evaluated by an HVAC contractor—this helps determine if repairs can still be made or if it's time to start searching for a new system.

  • What size HVAC system do I need for my home?

    We've found that the right size depends on square footage, insulation, climate, and home layout. A professional load calculation (Manual J) ensures proper sizing. As a top HVAC company, our technicians will recommend the correct size.
