Q: Do HVAC companies need to be licensed?

• <div><p>While many states do not have specific licensing requirements for HVAC companies, your local city or county might. It's always a good idea to check local requirements online and use a tool like Angi&rsquo;s contractor license lookup to confirm that the company you&rsquo;re considering is licensed. Regardless of licensing, you should always ensure the company you hire is fully insured to avoid potential lawsuits if a technician is injured on your property. Additionally, it is recommended to check if the company holds third-party certifications, such as North American Technician Excellence (NATE) certification or R-410A certification, which qualifies them to work with HVAC refrigerants.</p></div>

Q: What is the best time of year to purchase or replace an HVAC system?

• <div><p>The best time of year to purchase or replace an HVAC system, including components like an air conditioner or furnace, is during the off-season&mdash;spring and fall. During these periods, HVAC professionals are less busy than in summer and winter, when extreme temperatures create urgent demand. Shopping during the off-season can lead to savings of 10% to 15% on an AC unit and allows you more time to find the best deal and other cost-saving incentives. Typically, air conditioning units go on sale in the fall after demand drops, while furnace prices tend to decrease in the spring.</p></div>

Q: How often does an HVAC system need maintenance?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Does freon leak when AC is off?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, a freon leak will persist even when your AC unit is off. The freon in the AC unit is under pressure no matter the status of the system, so it will continue to drip through the leak even when you shut off the entire unit. It will continue to leak freon until it&rsquo;s completely empty.</p></div>

Q: Does a new furnace and AC add value to your home?

• <div><p>Absolutely! You can seriously improve the overall value of your home by maintaining high-quality, compatible systems for heating and cooling. Potential buyers will love not having to worry about getting a new HVAC unit for 15 to 20 years and will pay more for it. For maximum efficiency and cost savings, replacing the furnace and air conditioner at the same time, when possible, gives you (and potential future buyers) reliable comfort and modern convenience. </p></div>

"My son's allergies flare up whenever we spend time in our summer house in midcoast Maine. (He is allergic to dust mites.) The house is pretty clean, so I suspected the ducts might be part of the problem. Aeroseal showed me what the inside of the ducts looked like before they started cleaning, and it was shocking! We've only owned the house for three years; I'm willing to bet that the ducts haven't been cleaned in decades. It was money well spent and I am a happy customer."
