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: Can I build a deck over my HVAC unit?

• <div><p>Yes, you can build a deck over your outdoor HVAC unit, but you need to leave at least 5 feet of vertical clearance above the unit. If you don&rsquo;t want your deck to be that high off the ground, you could <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-floating-deck.htm">build a floating deck</a> in another part of your yard&mdash;again, as long as you leave at least 4 feet of horizontal space between the deck and your AC unit.</p></div>

Q: Can an overheated compressor cause a fire?

• <div><p>Yes, it is possible. An electrical fire can break out if the compressor has inadequate ventilation. When it overheats but doesn't have a proper thermal cutout, this can cause the motor to short-circuit and catch fire. This risk is exacerbated if flammable materials, like dust and fallen leaves, are clogging the unit. The compressor overheating won't start a fire by itself, but poor maintenance and installation can increase the risk once it hits its breaking point and short-circuits.</p></div>

Q: How long should my HVAC last?

• <div><p>With the proper maintenance and repairs, your HVAC can last <b>15 to 25 years</b>. However, it depends on the type of equipment you have and the average lifespan of each, including:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/oil-furnace-replacement-cost.htm">Oil furnace</a>: <b>10&ndash;15 years</b></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/common-gas-furnace-prices.htm">Gas furnace</a>: <b>20&ndash;30 years</b></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-boiler-installation-cost.htm">Boiler</a>: <b>20&ndash;35 years</b></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-installing-new-ac-cost.htm">AC unit</a>: <b>7&ndash;20 years (location dependent)</b></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/heat-pump-systems-explained.htm">Heat pump</a>: <b>10&ndash;20 years</b></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-ductless-mini-split-heat-pump-works.htm">Ductless mini-split</a>: <b>10&ndash;30 years</b></p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long does my AC need to be off to unfreeze?

• <div><p>This depends on the extent of the freezing. Some ACs only need an hour or two to thaw out, but others may need a full day to completely unfreeze. Once you turn off the system to let it unfreeze, check it periodically to make sure the drain pan doesn&rsquo;t overflow. When you turn the system back on, keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn&rsquo;t start freezing again.</p></div>
