Q: How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?

• <div><p>For most systems, an annual HVAC system service is more than enough. Some homeowners prefer a twice-a-year visit to ensure the system is ready for the upcoming summer and winter seasons. If you need to call an HVAC pro more often than this, it may be time to check if your system is getting old enough for a replacement. </p></div>

Q: Can I stay in my home if there's a coolant leak?

• <div><p>While it's generally safe to stay in a home with a coolant leak if your home is properly ventilated, it's important to have a professional come out to assess the situation right away. You should evacuate your home if you notice any powerful fumes. Additionally, you should leave your home if you are experiencing headaches or dizziness.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect servicing costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on system age, type, labor, and whether part replacements are necessary.</p></div>

Q: Do NATE-certified technicians cost more?

• <div><p>NATE-certified technicians may charge slightly higher service fees compared to non-certified technicians. This is because NATE certification signifies a higher level of expertise and professionalism, often leading to more efficient and effective HVAC repairs and installations. While the upfront cost may be marginally higher, NATE-certified technicians can potentially save you money in the long run by reducing energy consumption, preventing frequent breakdowns, and extending the life span of your HVAC system. When looking for a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/hvac-companies/">local HVAC company to hire</a>, it never hurts to ask about NATE certifications. </p></div>

Our water heater leaked onto carpeting. I called Premier before noon and by 4pm, they had arrived and completed the work by cleaning up the water, shampooing the carpet and deodorizing the area. They left fans to finish the drying. We'll call them to clean the carpet in other rooms.
