"Everclear called near immediately upon my query through Angi. The technician came out within a few days, was very prompt on the scheduled appointment and took care of my dryer service. They were very reasonable in my opinion and would highly recommend them on all counts."

"We have renters staying in a house we list on airbnb. We were hearing mounting complaints from them - the lower level is smelly... it's getting worse... it's damp... the dehumidifier isn't working... someone is allergic and having symptoms. I called for help after business hours and heard back quickly from Dan directly. I sent in the professionals! They evaluated the situation and told us what we hoped (and suspected) - there is no mold/mildew problem! Dan from Catamount offered to leave a powerful dehumidifier there for a week anyway, if we wanted, but although I would have paid him for that, he didn't even recommend it - because it was unnecessary! This is clearly a scrupulous company that will not charge you for work unless you really need it. While I'm glad we don't have a problem, I actually regret that I can't hire him for something. I wish every provider was like this."

Heating and 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.

The DOE is phasing out AC units with SEER ratings that fall below 14 or 15. The exact minimum rating depends on your region. In the northern United States, new ACs must have a minimum SEER rating of 14, though you can still buy and install older systems as long as they were compliant when they were manufactured. In the southern and southwestern United States, you cannot buy or install older air conditioners with lower SEER ratings. The minimum rating is between 14.5 and 15, depending on the power of the unit.

To make the most out of your AC, consider implementing the following best practices: 

  • Choose the right size AC for your home to ensure your unit runs as efficiently as possible.

  • Choose a window with shade, as direct sunlight can cause your AC unit to overheat. 

  • Clean or replace the filter at least every two months. 

  • Inspect the AC’s fan and straighten it if necessary. 

  • Discontinue use immediately if you suspect a malfunction, as running the AC while broken can lead to significant issues. 

  • Turn off (or adjust the temperature) when you leave the house.

The length of an AC cycle depends on the settings in your thermostat and the unit you have. Central AC doesn't constantly run at full blast the way that a window unit does. A cooling cycle in most homes is 15 to 20 minutes. Then, the unit stays off for seven to 10 minutes to circulate the cold air in the house before the cycle repeats. It should repeat two or three times per hour. A short cycle lasts less than 10 minutes and then turns off.

If possible, avoid placing furniture in front of a return air vent. A blocked air vent can cause your HVAC system to use more energy, which in turn can lower the life span of your unit and raise your energy bill. Furniture can also trap hot or cold air, damaging your furniture or appliances. 

Professional duct installers suggest leaving between six and 12 inches of space in front of an air return vent. If you must place furniture in front of a return air vent, try to aim for putting furniture over a floor vent instead of in front of a wall vent, and avoid draping curtains over any vent system.
