Question 1

I have a R-22 system that needs charging what can I do?

Accepted Answer

We have plenty of R-22.  However, most commonly the equipment will be converted to the replacement refrigerants.

Question 2

What size HVAC system should I have?

Accepted Answer

Contrary to popular belief there, is no rule of thumb for sizing a system to a home. Depending upon the construction of your home, one (1) ton of air conditioning can cool anywhere from 300 to 800 square feet of home. The only way to insure the size of the system you purchase will be large enough to cool your home, but not any larger than you need, is to have your home’s individual heating and cooling needs evaluated by a licensed professional.

Question 3

How is the efficiency of heating and cooling equipment measured?

Accepted Answer

The S.E.E.R. (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) is the amount of cooling your system will deliver per dollar spent on electricity. For example, a 3-ton unit may have a S.E.E.R. efficiency rating of 13, 14, or 15. The higher the S.E.E.R. the more efficient the system will be. The S.E.E.R. rating of any given unit can range anywhere from 13 to 17.

Question 4

How often should I replace my filters?

Accepted Answer

For optimum efficiency and filtration, we recommend that you replace your disposable filters at least once a month. If you have washable filters, they should be cleaned once a month.
