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: Can I use a pressure washer to clean a heavily soiled AC coil?

• <div><p>You can use a pressure washer to clean the outdoor condenser coils if the dirt buildup is too heavy for a garden hose and sprayer. Use a gentle setting on your pressure washer to avoid damage to the coils and fins. Do not use a pressure washer on indoor evaporator coils.</p></div>

Q: Can I use a HEPA filter on my HVAC?

• <div><p>A HEPA filter is a powerful tool for clean air, but the structure doesn&rsquo;t allow much air to pass through it. That means your HVAC motor must work harder to keep your air pressure consistent, which can result in higher energy bills. That, coupled with the higher cost of HEPA filters, may not make them the best choice for your HVAC system.</p></div>

Q: Is no air filter better than a dirty one?

• <div><p>No, running your furnace without an air filter isn&rsquo;t better than running it with a dirty filter. Even if it&rsquo;s dirty, a filter will still prevent particles from blowing around your ducts and your house. However, neither of these options is good for your furnace or your health. Replace your filter once every one to three months for optimal furnace performance and air quality. </p></div>

Q: Should I stop running my AC if my filter is wet?

• <div><p>Don&rsquo;t run your AC with a wet filter. It can cause your AC to work too hard, which will run up your utility bill and cause extra wear and tear on the system. You could also spread moisture and mold throughout your house. Turn off the AC, remove the wet filter, and check for cracks or clogs. Fix the problem (with a pro&rsquo;s help, if you need it), and put a dry filter in place before you turn the system back on. </p></div>
