FAQs
General HVAC Questions
How often should I service my air conditioner?
We recommend scheduling professional HVAC maintenance at least twice a year, ideally before the cooling season and again later in the year. Regular maintenance helps improve efficiency, reduce breakdowns, and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
How long does an air conditioner typically last?
Most residential air conditioning systems last 10 to 15 years, depending on maintenance, usage, installation quality, and environmental conditions.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
There are many possible causes, including:
- Dirty air filters
- Low refrigerant
- Frozen evaporator coils
- Thermostat issues
- Dirty condenser coils
- Electrical problems
- Blocked drain lines
- Compressor failure
A professional inspection is the fastest way to identify the problem.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my AC?
Replacement is often recommended if:
- Your system is over 10–15 years old
- Repairs are becoming frequent
- Energy bills continue increasing
- Cooling performance has declined
- Repair costs are significant compared to replacement
Our Comfort Advisors can evaluate your system and recommend the most cost-effective option.
Can attic insulation improve indoor comfort?
Absolutely. Proper insulation helps eliminate hot spots, maintain more consistent temperatures, and reduce HVAC run times.
Should attic insulation be replaced if it gets wet?
Yes. Wet insulation loses much of its insulating value and may encourage mold growth. Damaged insulation should be professionally removed and replaced.
