Q: Is it OK for my AC to run all day?

• <div><p>If you have central air conditioning, it&rsquo;s fine to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-ac-can-run-continuously.htm">run your AC all day</a> if that&rsquo;s what you want&mdash;as long as the AC unit is in good condition. But if your AC runs constantly when you don&rsquo;t want it to, there may be a problem with your system (like the ones we&rsquo;ve mentioned above). Window AC units and wall air conditioners aren&rsquo;t as powerful as central AC, so you should only run those kinds of air conditioners for eight to 12 hours at a time. </p></div>

Q: Is it bad to run AC below 70 degrees?

• <div><p>Most HVAC companies recommend against setting your AC below 70 as it could freeze up the system and cause more problems. Regardless of how hot it is outside, there is generally a 20 degree difference between the outside and inside temperatures, so even if it&rsquo;s 100 degrees outside, your AC will likely not be able to cool your home to 70 degrees. </p></div>

Q: How long should AC stay off between cycles?

• <div><p>The length of an AC cycle depends on the settings in your thermostat and the unit you have. Central AC doesn't constantly run at full blast the way that a window unit does. A cooling cycle in most homes is 15 to 20 minutes. Then, the unit stays off for seven to 10 minutes to circulate the cold air in the house before the cycle repeats. It should repeat two or three times per hour. A short cycle lasts less than 10 minutes and then turns off.</p></div>

Q: Should supply air be equal to return air?

• <div><p>Yes. Your air supply should be balanced. The return and supply ducts need to maintain that balance, and this only occurs because an equal amount of air should be entering and leaving your HVAC system. Changes in pressure, extreme weather, and blocking vents with furniture or your stuff can make the air supply unbalanced and cause your home to get too cold or hot.</p></div>

Q: What are telltale signs of HVAC problems?

• <div><p>Some of the signs of HVAC issues include rising energy bills, rooms not cooling or heating properly, loud noises when in operation, and signs of condensation. To illustrate, if you&rsquo;re wondering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stop-condensation-on-air-vents.htm">how to stop condensation on air vents</a>, you&rsquo;ll need to have your HVAC inspected. </p></div>

The new Install went great - was completed in 1 day. They replaced the existing 4 ton Air Handler & A/C unit with a 5 ton / SEER 16 HEAT PUMP & Air Handler system. The electric bills for December, 2021 was $386 & January, 2022 was $623 which we thought was excessive for a 2040 sq.ft. house.
