Best heating and air conditioning pros near Fayette, ME

Q: What kind of refrigerant does my HVAC system use?

• <div><p>Some HVAC systems tend to use R410A refrigerant, although if you have an older model <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-fair-price-r-22-refrigerant.htm">it may be using R22</a>. R22 is banned due to its harmful environmental and health impacts, and it is a sign that your AC unit is old enough to consider a replacement and the significant efficiency gains that could come with it.</p></div>

Q: Can an overheated compressor cause a fire?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible. An electrical fire can break out if the compressor has inadequate ventilation. When it overheats but doesn't have a proper thermal cutout, this can cause the motor to short-circuit and catch fire. This risk is exacerbated if flammable materials, like dust and fallen leaves, are clogging the unit. The compressor overheating won't start a fire by itself, but poor maintenance and installation can increase the risk once it hits its breaking point and short-circuits.</p></div>

Q: What temperature should I set my AC?

• <div><p>During the summer, it&rsquo;s best to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-temperature-to-set-ac-in-summer.htm">set your AC to 78 degrees</a> when you&rsquo;re home and awake, according to the Department of Energy (DOE). For better energy efficiency, raise the temperature slightly to 85 degrees while you&rsquo;re out of the house. The National Sleep Foundation advises lowering your thermostat to between 60 and 67 degrees when you&rsquo;re asleep. </p></div>

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: Is it cheaper to run a window unit or central AC?

• <div><p>It depends on the size of the space you&rsquo;re cooling down. If you&rsquo;re looking for the most affordable way to cool an entire house over a long period of time, then central air will be more cost-effective. But when it comes to cooling down a couple of rooms or one floor, a window unit may be the cheaper option, with both a lower cost to install and less energy used to run.</p></div>

"Incredibly professional, always happy to answer questions. Unlike other places that install and you never hear from again, Cam, David, and crew make sure your heat pump stays in tip top shape with yearly cleanings. They even offered to clean a unit that another contractor put in a year prior who refused to come clean it. I got quotes from over 8 different companies for my second heat pump, and Heat Pumps of Maine were a clear step above the rest."
