Q: How do I know if my AC compressor is bad?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/troubleshooting-common-air-conditioning-problems.htm">Troubleshooting common issues with your AC</a> often sheds light on a problem with the compressor. Signs that you need to replace a bad compressor include your AC blowing warm air, short cycling (turning on and off), making strange noises, and blowing less air overall. Since these problems can stem from several areas of your AC, always call a local AC repair team to confirm it's the compressor.</p></div>

Q: What considerations do pros make for optimal A/C placement?

• <div><p>Assessing location for airflow, convenience, and minimal noise impact.</p></div>

Q: Do high MERV ratings restrict airflow?

• <div><p>Air filters with a high MERV rating, 11 or above, shouldn't cause airflow problems in most residential systems. However, the airflow can be restricted in some HVAC systems if they aren't designed for high MERV ratings. If in doubt, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/duct-installers/">local duct installer</a> should inspect your ductwork so that you know what your system can handle.</p></div>

Q: Can I clean my AC filter instead of replacing it?

• <div><p>Some AC filters, known as reusable filters, can be cleaned and reinserted. Most AC filters, however, are disposable and cannot be cleaned. </p></div>

"After interviewing 8 companies for installation of mini-splits, I made the lucky decision to hire Patrick Baca, owner of Baca Heating and Cooling. He answered all my questions with patience and expertise and demonstrated that he could out-perform the 'competition'. I knew I could trust him. Patrick was efficient, professional, caring, courteous, always on-time, meticulous, and has a work-ethic that is 2nd to none. His pricing was incredibly fair, something that is a rarity in Santa Fe. He also went above and beyond the confines of installing my mini-splits, helping me with several unrelated fixes around my house and has returned on his own to make sure that everything is running smoothly. Patrick Baca is a shining example of a fully-knowledgeable, caring, and talented professional and I cannot express my gratitude enough for finding such a trustworthy and consummate master of his craft. I highly recommend Patrick Baca. He is the best."
