Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

We recommend having your air conditioning system professionally serviced at least once a year, ideally in the spring before the cooling season begins. For heating systems, schedule maintenance in the fall. Our annual maintenance agreement includes two inspections per year for $129, covering both your AC and heating systems.

Generally, if your system is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or has an efficiency rating well below current standards, replacement may be more cost-effective. Modern systems achieve up to 96.7% AFUE for furnaces and up to 20 SEER for air conditioners, which can significantly reduce your energy bills compared to older units. We offer free in-home consultations to help you evaluate your options.

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It measures how efficiently an air conditioning system operates over an entire cooling season. The higher the SEER rating, the more energy efficient the unit. Newer systems can reach up to 20 SEER, meaning they use significantly less energy than older systems rated at 10 or lower. A higher SEER rating translates to lower utility bills.

Air filters should be cleaned or replaced every one to two months during the cooling and heating seasons. If your system runs constantly, you live in a dusty area, or you have pets, you may need to change them more frequently. A clean filter can reduce your air conditioner’s energy consumption by 5% to 15%.

A heat pump is an energy-efficient system that both heats and cools your home by transferring heat rather than generating it from fuel. In milder climates like Los Angeles, heat pumps can achieve efficiency ratings of 300-400%, making them much more efficient than gas furnaces. Contact us for a free consultation to determine if a heat pump is right for your home.
