Q: Does a higher BTU use more electricity?

• <div><p>Choosing a unit with higher BTUs can use more electricity if the BTUs are more than what&rsquo;s necessary for your room size. However, choosing an AC with BTUs that match the size of your room or house, your unit will cool your space efficiently. On the flip side, choosing a system with not enough BTUs can cause the system to work harder to try to cool the space, leading to more electricity consumption and higher energy bills.</p></div>

Q: What is the $5,000 rule for HVAC systems?

• <div><p>The $5,000 rule for HVAC systems helps homeowners decide whether to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/it-time-repair-or-replace-my-air-conditioner.htm">repair or replace an AC</a> or furnace. Take the quote for the HVAC repair cost and multiply that by the age of the HVAC system. If the total is higher than $5,000, it&rsquo;s more cost-effective to replace the system. If the total is lower than $5,000, consider repairing the system. </p></div>

Q: Why is the AC drip pan not draining?

• <div><p>An AC drip pan may stop draining if there&rsquo;s a clog where the drip pan connects to the drain line. Clogs can form from a lack of cleaning or from rust or corrosion buildup. Cleaning the drip pan at least once per month lowers the chances of debris clogging the drain line. </p></div>

Q: What is the rule of thumb for return duct sizing?

• <div><p>The standard rule for return duct sizing is that the return vent should be the same size or larger than the supply vent. This will ensure balanced airflow in your home and reduce strain on your HVAC system.</p></div>

Q: What causes condensation on air vents?

• <div><p>Condensation forms when warmer, outside air combines with cooler air in your ductwork. This can happen when there are leaks in your air ducts, your HVAC system has a dirty air filter, or there&rsquo;s a lack of insulation around the ducts. To prevent it from happening, replace your HVAC filters as directed. Also, once every five years, hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/air-duct-cleaning/">local air duct cleaner</a> to clean and inspect them.</p></div>

Noah was quick and efficient. The job was well done and the area was left clean. He was very patient and let me write down directions (to add to the manual) as he took time to show me how to start up and run the new generator.
