HOW DO I SELECT A RELIABLE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING CONTRACTOR?

When you need HVAC services, you understandably want to make sure you’re picking the best contractor out there. How can you tell if your heating and cooling contractor is honest and reliable?

Ask yourself the following questions:

Does the contractor employ factory-trained, certified technicians?
Is the contractor fully licensed and insured?
Do they offer same-day appointments and emergency services?
Do they have HVAC maintenance agreements?

SHOULD I HAVE MY AIR DUCTS CLEANED?

There are a few signs that you should have your air ducts cleaned by a trained professional. Increased allergy symptoms or respiratory problems, difficulties sleeping, visible dust or dirt gathered at vents, and overall poor indoor air quality can all indicate that your business’s air ducts need cleaning. Dirty air ducts may contain mold, mildew, pet dander, smoke, pollen, dust, bacteria, and other harmful contaminants. Plus, clogged ducts reduce heating and cooling efficiency, ultimately costing you money.

HOW LONG DOES HVAC EQUIPMENT TYPICALLY LAST?

Different systems have different average lifespans but, generally speaking, most HVAC equipment can be expected to work properly and efficiently for an average of 11 years. If your heater or air conditioner is approaching the 10-year mark, you’ll likely start noticing decreased performance and efficiency. If your system is more than five years old, you should have it inspected by a trained HVAC professional to rule out any underlying issues and ensure optimal performance. If your system is more than 11 years old and you’re noticing problems, it’s time to consider replacement.

WHY DOES HVAC MAINTENANCE MATTER?

Regular heating and air conditioning maintenance is one of the most important and one of the most-neglected tasks a commercial property manager can do. There are numerous benefits to regular HVAC maintenance, including better performance, increased energy efficiency, reduced utility bills, and improved indoor air quality. Regular maintenance can also extend the average lifespan of your unit. Plus, regular tune-ups allow your HVAC technician to catch and fix any minor issues before they become major problems.
