How do I know if my AC needs to be recharged?

• <div><p>There are ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/detecting-refrigerant-leaks.htm">detect a refrigerant leak</a> with several different testing methods.

How can buying a new HVAC save you money?

What temperature should I keep the house while on vacation?

• <div><p>Set your house temperature between 55 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit while on vacation, depending on the season. If it’s winter, don’t go below 55 degrees.

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

There are ways to detect a refrigerant leak with several different testing methods. However, most homeowners can figure out something’s wrong with their AC unit by noticing these common signs:

Ice forming on the evaporator coil
Water leaks near the AC unit
Frequent hissing sounds
Increased electric bills
Unit takes longer than usual to cool
Unit is blowing hot air

DIY is possible for basic cleaning. Professional services handle advanced maintenance like recharging the refrigerant.

While you’ll pay more upfront for a brand-new HVAC unit, you can save money in the long run. Here’s how to save on your new HVAC system:

When purchasing a high-efficiency system, your energy bills will be lower in the future.
You may be eligible for special offers from your local energy company.
Depending on the system, you may be eligible for HVAC rebates and tax credits.
Choose to replace your air conditioning unit and furnace simultaneously to save on labor and installation costs.

Set your house temperature between 55 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit while on vacation, depending on the season. If it’s winter, don’t go below 55 degrees. In the summer, the best AC temperature for energy savings is no higher than 85 degrees. You can save anywhere from 10% to 15% on your energy costs by adjusting the temperature while you’re away. If you have a smart thermostat, set up vacation modes for each season. On your way home, turn off vacation mode to allow the home to warm up or cool down before you arrive.

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’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 local air duct cleaner to clean and inspect them.
