Can a dirty air filter cause a high electric bill?

• <div><p>Yes, a dirty air filter can cause a higher electric bill. That’s because clogged filters make it harder for air to flow through your HVAC system, which forces it to work harder and use more energy. According to the <a href="https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/maintaining-your-air-conditioner#:~:text=Replacing%20a%20dirty%2C%20clogged%20filter,in%20the%20air%20conditioner%20itself.">U.S. Department of Energy</a>, replacing dirty filters can save you between 5% and 15% in utility costs.</p></div>

Does my HVAC technician have to be NATE certified?

• <div><p>NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certification is not legally required for HVAC technicians in most areas, but hiring a professional with this certification is highly recommended. NATE-certified technicians demonstrated their expertise and proficiency in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/common-types-of-HVAC-systems.htm">different types of HVAC systems</a>, offering assurance of quality service. It's a voluntary certification, yet it indicates a commitment to professionalism and ongoing training. Choosing a NATE-certified technician often means you're working with someone who is up-to-date on industry standards and best practices, which can lead to better service, energy efficiency, and long-term cost savings. </p></div>

Q: What is included in an HVAC service call?

• <div><p>Most HVAC service calls include diagnostic fees, which could include checking on a specific issue you&rsquo;re experiencing or running through a routine inspection checklist. If you called for a particular problem, the service call will also include an estimate to fix the issue, including materials and labor. Depending on your HVAC technician and the service you requested, you might also get a general inspection of your system components to ensure everything is working as intended.</p></div>

Q: How can I save money on HVAC repairs?

• <div><p>The best way to save money on HVAC repairs is by regularly having your system inspected and maintained. This can prevent bigger problems and costly repairs and replacements in the future. It&rsquo;s also smart to buy quality equipment and hire companies that provide warranties on equipment and labor. If you need repairs, you may be able to save money by cashing in on rebates and incentives or keeping the area around your HVAC unit clear to shorten the time your contractor needs to spend in your home.</p></div>

Q: Should I buy an air purifier?

• <div><p>If you have a lot of dust in your home, an air purifier can help draw dust, pet dander, and pollen out of the air and trap it in a filter. Air purifiers are especially nice if you have allergies or lots of pets as air purifiers that use a HEPA filter can reduce allergens by up to 99.7%.</p></div>

I decided to make the purchase though I did not need all of the equipment. The TRITON 9000 RS Generator/Compressor/Welder machine was what I really had my eye on. I had never seen a machine with so many functions before. The 10,000 gas generator is the machine I needed the most, but the other...
