Q: How often should I replace my AC filter?

• <div><p>HVAC pros recommend that you replace your AC filter every one to three months to maintain optimal indoor air quality and ensure your HVAC system operates efficiently. However, factors such as filter type, household size, and environmental conditions may influence the frequency of replacement. Regular filter changes help prevent debris buildup, maintain airflow, and prolong the life span of your air conditioning unit. </p></div>

Q: Can a whole-house dehumidifier save money?

• <div><p>Yes. Getting a whole-house dehumidifier can help you save money on energy bills. How? Your home automatically feels cooler when there&rsquo;s less humidity in the air (&ldquo;It&rsquo;s the humidity that gets ya!&rdquo; is such a true statement). This means that you won&rsquo;t need to run your AC as much as you would if you had all that extra humidity in your home.</p></div>

Q: Should my HVAC damper be open or closed?

• <div><p>Whether an HVAC damper should be open or closed depends on the season, the zone it controls, and the temperature in that zone. In the summer, open upstairs dampers and close lower-level dampers to get the most efficient cooling possible. In the winter, do the opposite. Cool air will naturally flow down to lower levels, while warm air will rise. This keeps your system from working harder and helps prevent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/troubleshooting-common-air-conditioning-problems.htm">common AC problems</a>.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common rule used for HVAC load calculation?

• <div><p>A common HVAC rule is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of living space, you need 1 ton of heating or cooling capacity. Now that you know this common rule, you also need to know that it isn&rsquo;t very accurate, and a dedicated pro wouldn&rsquo;t use it for your home. If you talk to a pro who won&rsquo;t or can&rsquo;t perform a proper Manual J calculation, consider hiring someone more thorough.</p></div>

Q: What is the typical lifespan of an HVAC system and its components?

• <div><p>An HVAC system typically lasts between 10 and 30 years, with an average lifespan of 15 to 25 years. The longevity of the system is influenced by factors such as the quality of the unit, usage frequency, local climate, and how well it is maintained. Regular maintenance, including cleaning, filter replacements, and professional inspections, can help maximize its lifespan. Different components within the system have varying life expectancies. For example:</p><ul><li><p>Furnaces: 15 to 30 years</p></li><li><p>Boilers: 20 to 35 years</p></li><li><p>Air Conditioners (AC units): 12 to 20 years</p></li><li><p>Heat Pumps: 10 to 20 years</p></li><li><p>Ductless Mini-Splits: 10 to 30 years</p></li></ul></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."
