Q: Are mini-splits cheaper to run than central air?

• <div><p>Yes, mini-split systems are generally less expensive to run than central air conditioners and are significantly more energy-efficient. Because mini-splits do not rely on ductwork, they avoid the energy loss associated with ducted systems, allowing cooled or heated air to reach its destination more efficiently. Additionally, they offer zoned control, meaning you can run units in individual rooms and turn them off in unoccupied areas. This capability can lead to energy savings of about 30% compared to a central air system, resulting in a lower monthly energy bill.</p></div>

Q: Does my home need return air vents?

• <div><p>Yes. Return air vents are responsible for gathering and pulling in the warmer air. Once they draw it in, your system conditions the air by removing the warmer molecules from it, allowing your air conditioner to dispense the cooler air back into your home. Not only does this create a more comfortable environment for you, but it also keeps your air conditioner from overworking, resulting in lower energy bills. </p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to replace an AC compressor?

• <div><p>On average, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ac-compressor-cost.htm">replacing an AC compressor costs</a> between $800 and $2,300, but it could cost as much as $2,800. There are a few factors that impact the price of a compressor replacement, including the type and size of the compressor, as well as the type of HVAC system and local labor rates. </p></div>

Q: How long will it take to recharge my AC unit?

• <div><p>A home AC unit provides anywhere from one-half to five <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hvac-terms-you-need-know.htm">tons of cooling</a> and requires approximately two to four pounds of refrigerant per ton of cooling. At approximately five to 10 minutes to fill one pound of refrigerant, a home that requires three tons of cooling will take about six to 12 pounds of refrigerant and approximately 30 minutes to two hours to completely recharge the unit.</p></div>

Q: Will low refrigerant cause a coil to freeze?

• <div><p>If refrigerant levels are low, it can cause the evaporator coil to freeze up. Low freon causes a drop in pressure, which will make the coil too cold and cause moisture to freeze on the coil. Your system may be <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-freon-leak-mean-i-must-get-new-home-ac-unit-cant-i-just-get-leak-fixed.htm">low on refrigerant because of a leak</a>. </p><p>Make sure to have maintenance performed twice a year, and contact your local HVAC technician if you suspect your system has low freon levels. </p></div>

"Jon was immediately responsive and helpful. I explained my situation and that I was concerned I might need to replace my furnace (a opinion from another company). He stated he would just come do a diagnostic and we could go from there. That diagnostic fee was very reasonable. The tech came, stating that it was likely the "board" that needed replacing. They ordered the part and immediately came out and finished my mix. A HUGE RELIEF that I did not have to replace the furnace right before winter. So for once I felt like I was being dealt with honestly, and they went above and beyond. I will call them with ANY of my HVAC/Plumbing needs. Thank you Jon and the techs at Sync! I'm still WARM!!"
