4 FAQ for HVAC Contractors

Does My New Unit Come With a Warranty?

Manufacturer warranties vary by product, but most HVAC systems come with some sort of guarantee. In fact, many warranties cover the costs of replacement parts plus the fees for repairs. Warranties usually last a year or two, though some may extend upwards of a decade.

What Is the Life Span of an HVAC System?

The life expectancy of air conditioners and furnaces often depends on how well you maintain them. For example, with no maintenance, an HVAC system that should last between 20-25 years may only last about 15. Get the most out of your unit by scheduling routine inspections.

When Do I Need Maintenance?

While there is no set rule about how often you should book maintenance appointments, it’s smart to do so in advance of the cold and warm seasons. Your HVAC contractor will recalibrate your thermostat, test the wiring, and perform any necessary repairs. Maintenance will maximize efficiency and prevent breakdowns. 

How Can I Save Energy?

One of the best ways to save money and energy is by upgrading to an ENERGY STAR® heating and cooling system. However, there are other steps you can take to give your unit and your pocketbook a break, such as clearing out obstructions that block airflow, changing the filter, and keeping the coils clean.
