Q: How do I compare HVAC quotes?

• <div><p>The best way to compare HVAC quotes is getting a few detailed quotes from local companies with good reputations. Then, go over the quotes line by line. Protect yourself by insisting on in-person estimates that include equipment manufacturer names, model numbers, SEER ratings, amounts and numbers of materials, details of warranties on equipment and labor, and other specifics. </p><p>Knowing the exact equipment and materials is the only way that you can fairly compare quotes. Quotes that are much lower than others can be a sign that the company isn&rsquo;t providing the best quality service or materials.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of mold in an air conditioner?

• <div><p>One of the first signs of mold in an air conditioner is a musty smell. You're likely to notice the smell when the unit runs, from the air coming out of the vents or the unit itself. You may also be able to see mold growing on the unit, such as near the condenser coils or by the fan. In some cases, there may be visible mold by the vents.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to hire an HVAC technician for maintenance?

• <div><p>The cost of annual maintenance depends on the type of HVAC system you have. AC service <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ac-service-cost.htm">typically costs an average of <b>$200</b></a> but ranges from<b> $100 to $550</b>. If your system needs repairs, the price will vary significantly depending on what needs fixing. However, addressing the issues as they arise can prevent further damage to your unit and keep it operating efficiently for much longer. </p></div>

Q: What month should I start using my air conditioner?

• <div><p>This is a bit of a trick question. Even though the seasons arrive at the same time every year, the weather doesn&rsquo;t always behave according to the calendar. So, while it&rsquo;s fair to say that you can expect to turn on your AC starting in late May or early June, it all depends on the outside temperature and how cool you like to keep your home. </p></div>

Q: Why is my home hotter than outside?

• <div><p>High humidity, bad insulation, warmth from sunlight, and poor circulation are all reasons your home&rsquo;s hotter inside than out. While this is what you want in the colder months, summer can become unbearable if this is a constant. Try to find the cause, but you need to remember that issues like this require a permanent fix (unless you want to bear down during the summer months).</p></div>

"Josh installed a new water heater, provided us with instructions on proper use and maintenance and has serviced it since. He is honest, thorough, and trustworthy. He also maintains my dad’s HVAC needs too. He has come out for emergency calls too. Suggest things to prevent future additional repair expenses. His prices are reasonable, especially for the personal, friendly customer service and service provided. I would highly recommend Northwoods HVAC."
