“At R&S Heating and Sheet Metal Inc, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional service. Here are some of the most frequently asked HVAC questions”
Your HVAC systems should be serviced annually.
Your air filters should be replaced monthly or every 30 days of operation.
A ductless mini-split system is an alternative to traditional heating and cooling like central air. Ductless HVAC works similarly to central heating and cooling except that it doesn’t require ductwork. Your mini split system will have an indoor and outdoor unit, connected with refrigeration pipe. Inside your home, the air will be conditioned and returned into the room by the same unit. Ductless mini split systems are all electric and can utilize solar energy.
Zoned HVAC allows for better comfort control, decreased energy bills, and higher energy efficiency
(energy waste is reduced because your HVAC equipment won’t have to work as hard to regulate the temperature throughout the house) Zoning your home is especially helpful if you occupy a small portion of your home allowing you to only heat and/or cool the most common area of your home.
Here are a few things to check before making a call to a licensed HVAC contractor. Have you changed your filter recently? Are all your registers open? A dirty filter and closed vents will make the furnace work harder and can cause overheating and the furnace will blow cold air to protect itself. If these are not the cause, call us and we can help.
