Q: Can a frozen evaporator coil cause damage?

• <div><p>A frozen coil can cause permanent damage to your HVAC system and lead to costly repairs if not fixed. It can cause the unit to overheat and also cause the compressor to fail. It&rsquo;s vital to turn the unit off if the coil is frozen and address the issue as soon as possible. </p></div>

Q: Is it normal for my attic to be hot?

• <div><p>It is normal for the attic to be hotter than the rest of the house in the summer, but only by about 10 or 20 degrees. Attics that aren&rsquo;t properly insulated or ventilated can reach temperatures of 130 degrees or more which can cause damage to the home&rsquo;s structure, including the roof, wood framing, and HVAC system. </p></div>

Q: Does my HVAC technician have to be NATE certified?

• <div><p>NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certification is not legally required for HVAC technicians in most areas, but hiring a professional with this certification is highly recommended. NATE-certified technicians demonstrated their expertise and proficiency in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/common-types-of-HVAC-systems.htm">different types of HVAC systems</a>, offering assurance of quality service. It's a voluntary certification, yet it indicates a commitment to professionalism and ongoing training. Choosing a NATE-certified technician often means you're working with someone who is up-to-date on industry standards and best practices, which can lead to better service, energy efficiency, and long-term cost savings. </p></div>

Q: What does a bad AC sound like?

• <div><p>There are plenty of different not-so-great sounds to hear from your air conditioning unit, like squealing, grinding, water running, excessive gurgling, banging, and clanking. Each of these sounds can indicate a different malfunction with your unit, so it&rsquo;s important to have a professional assess the problem before it gets worse.</p></div>

Q: How long should AC stay off between cycles?

• <div><p>The length of an AC cycle depends on the settings in your thermostat and the unit you have. Central AC doesn't constantly run at full blast the way that a window unit does. A cooling cycle in most homes is 15 to 20 minutes. Then, the unit stays off for seven to 10 minutes to circulate the cold air in the house before the cycle repeats. It should repeat two or three times per hour. A short cycle lasts less than 10 minutes and then turns off.</p></div>

Noah installed my generator & showed me how to use it; diligently diagnosed & fixed complex electrical problems in my older mobile home; & even fixed my lawnmower! Not only is Noah an expert at his craft. He is utterly kind, patient, trustworthy, fair, & decent. As a clueless first-time homeowner, I am SO grateful for Noah. I highly recommend him."
