Q: What happens if you run the AC with a dirty filter?

• <div><p>While an air conditioner can temporarily run with a dirty filter, it is not recommended as it will not work efficiently. A dirty filter forces the system to work harder to circulate cool air, leading to reduced airflow, increased wear and tear, and higher energy bills. This added strain can cause the air conditioner to overheat or fail prematurely. Furthermore, a clogged filter may allow dust and dirt to accumulate in your ductwork, negatively impacting air quality. It is more cost-effective to clean or replace filters regularly than to pay higher utility bills and risk needing to replace the entire AC unit.</p></div>

Q: How long should an HVAC damper last?

• <div><p>A damper motor can last up to <b>15 years</b>, but it can wear out more quickly than that if you run your HVAC unit a lot. So you might expect a longer life in a colder climate than if you live in a warmer climate.</p></div>

Q: How often should I recharge my AC with R-22?

• <div><p>You will only need to refill your AC with refrigerant if it has a leak. Otherwise, a modern, well-maintained AC will most likely never need a recharge. You may notice a leak in an older system if your bills are higher, you hear a hissing sound, or if the air is blowing out hot.</p></div>

Q: How often should I change the filter and clean the coils to prevent freezing?

• <div><p>You should plan to change your AC unit's filter every <b>one to three months,</b> depending on the manufacturer's recommendations. You should also clean the coils at least <b>once per year</b>, but if you have pets or someone in your household has allergies, you might need to clean them more often. Fortunately, many pros will clean the coils and change the filter for you during an inspection, which you should schedule <b>once or twice per year</b>.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common rule used for HVAC load calculation?

• <div><p>A common HVAC rule is that for every 500 to 600 square feet of living space, you need 1 ton of heating or cooling capacity. Now that you know this common rule, you also need to know that it isn&rsquo;t very accurate, and a dedicated pro wouldn&rsquo;t use it for your home. If you talk to a pro who won&rsquo;t or can&rsquo;t perform a proper Manual J calculation, consider hiring someone more thorough.</p></div>

"Mike was great and his team was too ! He scheduled the work quickly and actually visited the site prior to be sure he had the right equipment. He and his team were right on time and the guys worked very hard in tight spaces doing a better job than the original contractor had done. All of the damaged flex line was removed and brand new lines were installed and elevated with zip ties off the ground to better avoid varmint damage in the future. Mike checked my furnace and did some quick maintanance in it for me. He is extremely experienced and very personable, and his price was extremely fair. I would (and will) call Mike Bowen for any and all future HVAC, electrical, plumbing and gas needs for my cottage.... EXCELLENT GUY - EXCELLENT COMPANY.
