Q: Should you buy a house with a 15-year-old HVAC?

• <div><p>You can buy a house with a 15-year-old HVAC system if you inspect the system for performance and budget for a replacement within the next three years. You can also negotiate the price with the sellers. Ask to look at the unit&rsquo;s maintenance records and energy bills for the last two years to determine the shape of the HVAC system and its operating costs. Spend time in each room of the house to gauge if the HVAC keeps the home at a consistent temperature throughout. </p></div>

Q: How can you tell if an AC vent is open or closed?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to determine if a vent is open or closed. You can inspect the vent and examine the position of the fins. If there are spaces between them, the vent is open. If the fins are flat and touching, the vent is closed. You can also stand under the vent when the system is running to see if you feel air flowing through it.</p></div>

Q: 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: Is it OK for my AC to run all day?

• <div><p>If you have central air conditioning, it&rsquo;s fine to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-ac-can-run-continuously.htm">run your AC all day</a> if that&rsquo;s what you want&mdash;as long as the AC unit is in good condition. But if your AC runs constantly when you don&rsquo;t want it to, there may be a problem with your system (like the ones we&rsquo;ve mentioned above). Window AC units and wall air conditioners aren&rsquo;t as powerful as central AC, so you should only run those kinds of air conditioners for eight to 12 hours at a time. </p></div>

Q: How can I tell if my HVAC or AC damper is bad?

• <div><p>To diagnose a bad HVAC or AC damper, assess the airflow from your vents. For a manual damper, close it, run your system, and check for airflow. If air is still coming through the vents, the damper is likely faulty and needs repair or replacement. For an automatic damper, turn on your HVAC system and monitor the airflow and room temperature. Signs of a problem include low airflow, a room that won't maintain its set temperature, or a drafty feeling. If you suspect a faulty automatic damper, you may need to hire a professional for repairs.</p></div>

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."
