Frequently Asked Questions About HVAC Installation

Having a high-quality air conditioner is a luxury many home owners enjoy but is also something that anyone who doesn’t have it, wishes they had. When it comes to installation, it’s not at all a simple task. If you are considering an upgrade or buying a new system you more than likely have a lot of questions.

To help you to find a professional air conditioning installation company that suits your needs and requirements in your area, here are the answers to 5 of the most frequently asked questions about air conditioning installations:

What type of air conditioner should I buy?

There are several different types of air conditioning systems used, each working in different ways for different sized rooms, at different temperatures. There are split systems which can control airflow to any area of your home, or single room solutions. You should consider things like the size of the area you want to cool, and the number of people who occupy the space. Working from your budget you can easily find pricing for a system to suit, however there are many other factors, like energy ratings, that will help you to decide what type of air conditioning system is right for you.

Is there a better brand?

It is very easy to become overwhelmed when looking at HVAC systems, as there are just so many options available. The best way to decide which brand is best for you is to contact your local HVAC system specialist for advice and pricing.

Can I install it myself?

Although it is possible to do this type of job yourself, it is not advised. It is always best to hire professionals for installation and maintenance on anything to do with electrical or gas based products, and as HVAC systems involve both, your local professional is only a phone call away.

How often does it need cleaning?

One of the roles of HVAC systems is to eliminate dust particles from the air, which unfortunately means that the filters associated with your air conditioning system should be cleaned regularly. Each home is different and depending on how much you use your system and the surrounding areas of your home, you may need to clean the filters at least once every 3 months, however most systems only require cleaning twice a year. It’s also a good idea to have your air conditioning system fully serviced before summer starts, or winter if you use it for heating.

Should I replace my old HVAC system?

Often when an air conditioner is broken, it can be repaired rather than replaced, however the age of your air conditioning system, the efficiency rating and of course your budget will all need to be taken into consideration before you begin replacing your system. A lot of parts on older air conditioning systems are replaceable, and many with newer, better, and more efficient parts.
