How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?
We recommend having your HVAC system professionally serviced at least twice a year—once before the cooling season and once before the heating season. Regular maintenance helps catch small issues early, improves efficiency, and extends the life of your system.
How long does an HVAC system typically last?
With proper maintenance, most HVAC systems last between 10 to 15 years. High-quality, well-maintained systems can sometimes last even longer, while neglected systems may fail sooner.
What are the signs that I need HVAC repair?
Common signs include unusual noises, uneven temperatures in your home, weak airflow, rising energy bills, and frequent cycling on and off. If you notice any of these issues, it’s a good idea to call in a professional.
What’s the benefit of installing a high-efficiency HVAC system?
High-efficiency systems use less energy to operate, which can significantly lower your utility bills. They also tend to be quieter, more environmentally friendly, and can increase the overall comfort and value of your home.
What is indoor air quality (IAQ), and why is it important?
IAQ refers to the cleanliness and health of the air inside your home. Poor IAQ can contribute to allergies, asthma, and respiratory issues. At Elite Heating and Cooling, we offer air purification and ventilation solutions to help you breathe easier and live healthier.
How often should I change my air filter?
It depends on your system and lifestyle, but most homeowners should replace filters every 1 to 3 months. Homes with pets, allergies, or higher usage may need more frequent changes.
What size HVAC system do I need for my home?
The right size depends on factors like your home’s square footage, insulation, layout, and number of windows. Our team can perform a load calculation to determine the ideal system size for your home—ensuring efficient, effective heating and cooling.
