FAQs

Q: What does HVAC imply?
A: HVAC is an acronym that stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Q: What type of routine maintenance do I want to do on my heating and cooling unit?
A: As a property owner , maintaining your system is certainly not brain surgery. There are a couple of factors that you ought to remember. The main aspect to keep in mind is proper circulation. This signifies that you have to take a look at your air filters often and replace them out when they are dirty. It also means that you need to make sure that your air vents aren’t blocked by things such as furniture pieces. As a matter of fact, don’t even shut air vents to rooms that are less commonly used. You are making your system run more than need be, using more electrical power to do so, and wasting money. Finally, don’t forget to plan an annual tune-up on your air conditioning system. This must be done in the spring season. Set up an annual tune-up on your heating unit in the autumn.
Q: Why do I have to replace my air filter?
A: You can’t possibly use an HVAC system without changing the air filter out when it gets dirty. The purpose for this is because your system demands adequate air flow in order to operate. A dirty air filter will hinder your system from running properly. The filter acts kind of like a lung and it filters out impurities from your air. It keeps your home free from dust, allergens, and even germs. Additionally, a filthy air filter puts pressure on your system which causes it to work harder. This turns into higher home cooling and heating expenses. There are various types of filters readily available. Be sure to identify the frequency at which your filter needs to be replaced. It should be printed on the packaging label of your filter. We advise that you check your filters on a month-to-month basis. Despite what the label says, you will want to change your filter as often as needed. If you see that it is filthy, then be sure to swap it out for a new one. Variables such as household pets or dusty climates can make a huge difference on how frequently it needs to be changed. A highly trained Highland Falls HVAC service company will be able to help you on what variety of filter works best for your type of system.
Q: How do I figure out when to remove and replace my air filter?
A: The requirement to change your filter changes from one home to another. Some houses are dustier or have furry animals which will necessitate a filter change more often. It is recommended to examine it on a monthly basis. Some households must change their filter each month. Some residences will need to change it every 90 days. This holds true if the home is using a high quality filter and certain variables that make a filter dirtier more frequently are not present. Regardless, check it once a month and if it looks filthy, then don’t forget to change it out.
Q: How do I determine when my AC system, central heater, or HVAC system is still under warranty?
A: Figuring out whether your warranty is still active or not will help you figure out if a needed repair job will be covered. The age of your unit normally determines if it is covered by your warranty. If it is less than 5 years old, then your manufacturer’s warranty is commonly still active. If it is over 5 years old, then it, more than likely, is not. This, naturally, is dependent on the manufacturer and the company that installed your system. You can always call SOS XTREME Comfort®, a trained Highland Falls HVAC company, to let you know the status of your manufacturer’s warranty.
Q: I have become aware of the hazards of CO. Is this something I ought to be worried about?
A: Carbon monoxide is a problem that you should unquestionably be concerned about. It is recommended to get a CO detector in your house given that you will not be able to identify if there is a leak in your home otherwise. Proper attention and maintenance of your HVAC unit can prevent CO leaks.
Q: What are the causes of indoor air pollution?
A: Factors to indoor air pollution can vary. Some might actually amaze you. Certain items in your household have compounds that emit fumes or gases. These include:

  • Carpeting
  • Home furnishings
  • Drapes or window curtains
  • Upholstery
  • Cleaning products

Since newer homes are built so tightly, they do not breathe as well as older residences do. While this may make for an incredibly energy efficient home, it also stimulates to indoor air pollution. The buildup of gases and fumes cause indoor air pollution. This can be avoided by having an HVAC system that allows for proper ventilation. With a whole house ventilation system, a house owner can appreciate an extremely energy efficient house without the concern of indoor air pollution.
Q: What should I set my thermostat to: on or auto?
A: If you really want to make your house as energy efficient as achievable, then make sure to set your thermostat to the ‘auto’ setting as an option. This setting makes the fan run only when it is necessary. The ‘on’ option makes your fan work continuously. While this is pleasant when you prefer to have air consistently filtered through your home, it uses significantly much more power. This, is turn, will spike your power bills.
Q: How can I make my heating and cooling system work more efficiently without needing to exchange it?
A: The best process to try to keep your system running properly is by just caring for it. You will need to have your air conditioner serviced in the early spring just before you start to use it regularly in the summertime. Additionally, you need to have your heating system serviced in the fall before the cold winter season arrives. Studies confirm that homeowners who don’t maintain their system two times a year, have less efficient systems by nearly 5% -10%. Also, as a house owner, you have to change your filters as often as required. Make sure to work with filters that have high efficiency ratings for you to keep your system clean. Your system will need to breathe so do not block off your register or air vents. Keep clutter away from your exterior unit. You have to enable proper circulation.
Q: I will need to purchase a new heating/cooling system. How do I decide on the correct one for me?
A: Most importantly, you have to think about the size of the unit. Don’t be drawn to buy an over-sized unit, thinking that it will heat up or cool your home a lot quicker than a smaller one. Some property owners think that a small unit will minimize their home heating and cooling expenses. A unit that is too little will not save money on your energy statements. Some individuals have the misunderstanding that size is an option. As a matter of fact, it is not. The size of your machine has to match the size of your ductwork. Otherwise, your home will not feel comfortable and your electrical power expenses will escalate. A Highland Falls, New York HVAC specialist will have the capacity to help you determine what size your home needs for it to do its job correctly. A properly sized unit will keep your home comfortable and in an energy efficient manner. Make sure to ask your HVAC professional about operating costs for the new system that you have an interest in. Be sure to pick one that pays itself off. New systems are so energy efficient that you will surely see a difference on your energy statements and that is how you get a return from your financial investment.
Q: Can I shut doors and vents to areas that aren’t continuously used?
A: There is a prevalent view among people that if you shut off doors or vents to spaces that are not frequently used, then you will decrease your power bill. This is definitely wrong. Your unit is installed to match the ductwork on your property. When you close off an air vent or doorway, then the air has to go somewhere. It generates a lot of pressure which then your blower, or the center of your HVAC system, has to make up for. It runs more and spikes up your power bill.
