Question 1

How often should I schedule maintenance for my HVAC system?

Accepted Answer

The best time to schedule HVAC maintenance on your furnace and heating system is in the fall – before the first frost hits. For your air conditioner, spring is typically the best time. This is when HVAC maintenance techs are less busy working on emergency calls and have more availability for maintenance checks.

Question 2

How often should I change my filter?

Accepted Answer

It depends a lot on the type of filter you are using. A less expensive air filter will only last about 30 days while high-end pleated filters can last as long as 6 months. A general guideline is about 90 days.

Question 3

What temperature should I set my thermostat to in the winter?

Accepted Answer

In the winter, you want to set your thermostat to the lowest temperature that you can stand without being too uncomfortable. For most, the ideal temperature range in the winter is from 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit, but most people like it around 68 or 70.
