"The guys from Healthy Homes were awesome. In our initial inspection, Peyton took the time to do a thorough search of our house looking for mold and any potential causes. He crawled all around the attic and crawl space in search of anything he could find which I greatly appreciated. The guys were always on time, and they were kind enough to answer each of my ten thousand questions. Hearing why they recommended the services they did was incredibly helpful for my wife and I. It was clear they werenâ t trying to pull any fast ones on a relatively new homeowner like myself. Jacobâ s expertise regarding foundations was greatly appreciated as well since we have an older home. He explained to me the proper ways to take care of and waterproof a foundation. His recommendation of investing in a dehumidifier, while somewhat pricey, was well worth it because it will help keep the air circulating throughout our house healthy. It will also be something we can pack up and take with us the next time we move homes, so it was well worth the investment."

Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

No, a furnace is not the same thing as an AC, or air conditioner, but these are both parts of an HVAC system. They both use air ducts to transport cool or hot air around your home to achieve a comfortable temperature set by your thermostat. An AC runs on electricity, while a furnace can use different fuel sources.

Most AC repair technicians will take between two and six hours to carry out repairs, depending on the work needed and the accessibility of the unit. For example, recharging refrigerant lines should take one to two hours to service, while replacing a compressor, blower fan, or other major components can take five to eight hours. You can ask your AC repair technician how long they expect the job to take, but just in case, you should plan on being home and available for most of the day.

Replacing an HVAC system does not always include new ductwork. The decision depends on the condition of your existing ducts. If they are in good shape, correctly sized for the new unit, and meet current standards, they can often be reused. However, if the ducts are damaged, poorly designed, or improperly sized, they will likely need to be replaced or upgraded to ensure the new system operates efficiently. An HVAC contractor will assess your ductwork and recommend the best course of action. Typically, ductwork is purchased separately, and a full replacement will add to the overall project cost.

As a general rule, you should have your HVAC system professionally serviced at least once a year, though it's best to follow the manufacturer's specific recommendations. Many experts suggest twice-yearly maintenance: once in the spring for the cooling system and once in the fall for the heating system. This is especially recommended for older units, systems with recurring issues, or heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling. Regular service, which can cost between $100 and $550, keeps the system running efficiently, helps prevent costly future repairs, and saves money on utility bills.

The decision to put your AC unit on the roof or ground depends on the climate in your area, the roof shape, accessibility, and budget. If you live in a warm climate or don’t have existing ductwork, it’s likely best to stick to a traditional AC unit that sits on the ground. However, if you lack yard space, live in a mild climate, and have easy access to the roof, your home may benefit from a rooftop AC unit.
