Q: How does dry mode affect indoor air quality?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between an AC and a furnace blower motor?

• <div><p>Trick question: There is no difference between an AC and a furnace blower motor. Whether you have <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-central-air.htm">central air</a> and heat or just one of these, the same blower motor carries hot and cold air throughout the ductwork in your home. Certain systems may have separate blower motors for the AC and furnace, but each serves the same function. </p></div>

Q: Will turning off AC stop it from leaking water?

• <div><p>Turning off your AC may temporarily stop your unit from leaking water unless the leak is from a thawing coil that continues to thaw after the system is shut off. Regardless, it helps to discontinue use of the unit if it has a leak in order to figure out what&rsquo;s causing the issue. </p></div>

Q: Is 78 degrees too hot to sleep?

• <div><p>While personal preferences widely vary, sleep experts say the best temperature for sleeping is between 60 and 67 degrees Fahrenheit rather than 78. If you do choose to sleep with your AC unit tuned to 78 degrees, you might want to use only a sheet or light blanket rather than a comforter. You might also consider installing a window unit in your bedroom so that you can be cooler in bed without wasting energy cooling the whole house.</p></div>

Q: How much value does a new HVAC unit add to your home?

• <div><p>A new HVAC unit typically adds about <b>$2,500 to $3,000</b> to the value of your home or about 5% to 7% of your home&rsquo;s value. Since a new unit can cost up to or more than $10,000 to install, it&rsquo;s up to you to decide if the upfront cost is worth the added value. Consult a local AC installer to determine next steps. </p></div>
