Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

It’s not customary to tip HVAC technicians, and most professionals won’t expect it. However, it’s a nice way of showing your appreciation for the work they do, especially if they come out in inclement weather or on a weekend or holiday to fix an emergency issue if your heat or AC goes out in extreme temperatures. A good tip would be between 10% to 20% of the total bill, depending on how above and beyond the tech goes for your repair and on the total cost of your HVAC repair or service. For something like a routine tune-up or scheduled maintenance, tips aren’t expected.

Your air conditioner can temporarily run with a dirty filter, but it won’t work as efficiently. It will need to work harder to blow cool air throughout the room or house, and this can eventually cause the air conditioner to overheat or die prematurely. It’s much more cost-effective to clean or replace filters than to pay higher utility bills each month and replace the entire AC unit more often.

In some cases, yes, portable air conditioners are worth buying. They’re a relatively affordable option for cooling small spaces. (On average, they cost between $100 and $500 per unit.) Plus, they’re easy to set up, and you can move them around to cool various parts of your home as needed. However, they aren’t the most efficient AC option, and they tend to be noisy.

Dry mode positively impacts indoor air quality by reducing excess moisture, which stops the growth of mold and mildew. By maintaining optimal humidity levels, dry mode creates a less hospitable environment for allergens and airborne pathogens, improving overall air quality. However, it's essential to ensure proper ventilation to prevent stale air accumulation.

Not necessarily. Some portable air conditioners may be vented out a door, wall, or ceiling—or even into another room. It’s not necessarily dangerous to run a portable air conditioner without venting it, but it is counterproductive since the unit needs to vent the heat in order to cool the room down in the first place. Without venting your portable AC unit, you’re essentially running a dehumidifier and increasing the temperature in the room.
