FAQs

Q: What does HVAC imply?
A: You may have heard this expression before. It is regularly used in the industry to refer to your heating and cooling system. It literally stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Q: What type of preventative maintenance do I need to do on my heating and cooling system?
A: The trick to HVAC maintenance is correct air movement. This indicates that anything that limits airflow should be rapidly addressed. Things like dust, debris, or dirt should be removed. Your air filters should generally be clean for proper circulation. A yearly tune-up on your AC should be scheduled in the spring season and a yearly tune-up on your furnace should be set up in the fall time.
Q: Why do I have to change my air filter?
A: You can’t possibly use an HVAC system without changing the air filter out when it gets filthy. The main reason for this is because your system demands proper air flow in order to function. A dirty air filter will prevent your system from working properly. The filter acts somewhat like a lung and it removes pollutants from your air. It helps keep your home free from dust, allergens, and even germs. Furthermore, a dirty air filter puts stress on your system which causes it to work harder. This translates into higher home cooling and heating costs. There are different types of filters readily available. Make sure to figure out the consistency at which your filter needs to be replaced. It should be printed on the packaging label of your filter. We recommend that you check your filters on a month-to-month basis. Despite what the label says, you will need to change your filter as frequently as required. If you see that it is filthy, then be sure to swap it out for a new one. Variables such as household pets or dirty climates can make a huge difference on how often it needs to be changed.

Q: How do I recognize when to replace my air filter?
A: There is no particular answer to this question. This is simply because one house will require a different quantity of filter changes than another. A property that has animals or is located in a dusty environment will need to have more filter changes. Regardless, it is a good idea to look at them once a month. Mark the calendar as a reminder. Life can get very busy and remembering something like taking a look at your HVAC filter can slip through the cracks. When you take a look at it, thoroughly examine it. Be sure that it does not appear dirty. Never let more than 90 days between air filter changes. Moreover, when it does appear dirty, be sure to swap it out even if you just removed and replaced it a couple of weeks ago. The key to a properly working HVAC system is proper filtration.
Q: How do I have an idea when my AC system, central heater, or HVAC system is still under warranty?

This has the tendency to change by manufacturer and installation company. Your HVAC service company, like SOS XTREME Comfort®, should be able to tell you and confirm the status of your manufacturer’s warranty.
Q: How does my HVAC system force air all around my home?
A: An HVAC system uses a fan to pull air in. The air that is pulled in is then pushed to your air handler. Once it has warmed or cooled down the air, then it pushes it back through your ductwork and out of your vents. Vents or registers are generally positioned on your walls, ceilings, or floors.

A: You should utilize the ‘auto setting’. This means that air will be dispersed throughout your house on an ‘as need’ basis. It is the more energy efficient setting of the two.

It is recommended to use the ‘auto’ setting so that you don’t have high home cooling and heating charges.
Q: I have installed an updated furnace and air conditioner. How much time should I expect it to last?

A: When you landscape your yard, you ought to pay very close attention to the space around your outdoor air unit. Be sure your plants are at least 18 inches to 2 feet from your unit. This includes the area around your unit and the area above your unit. Your exterior unit needs correct air circulation all around it in order for it to function the manner in which you need it to. Homeowners often make the error of planting too close to their unit or neglecting to trim back the plants around their unit. This has resulted in expensive and unnecessary repairs.
Q: The temperature inside of my home is fine but my unit’s fan seems to be working all of the time. What should I do?

A: Do not shut rooms or vents. Despite the fact that it may seem like common sense, it is a waste of your money. Your unit is matched to the duct system on your property. When you close off the air flow, it forms a lot of pressure and ramps up your blower, the heart of your HVAC system. This causes it to be less efficient and raises your home electric bill.
