FAQ

With the proper installation, maintenance, and care, a home furnace can last approximately 20 years. Similarly, as with an air conditioner, a furnace can be made to last longer with regular inspections and extra care.

Factors to consider in choosing the right HVAC system:

•     Your budget
•     Your climate
•     How many rooms you need heated or cooled
•     If you enjoy using an air conditioner versus a fan
•     If you have allergies or sensitivities to dust

Depending on your usage, care and maintenance of your air conditioner, the average unit is known to last around 16 years. You can always make your unit last longer by performing regular inspections and ensuring all parts and pieces are clean and in good working condition.

HVAC is an abbreviation that stands for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. An HVAC specialist’s job involves the installation, repair and maintenance of a commercial or residential HVAC system such as an air conditioner or heater.

It depends on a few factors such as how much dust you are noticing in your home, and if you’ve had any recent renovations in your home which may have caused a buildup of dust and debris in your HVAC filter.

A boiler is like a furnace, but instead of using gas or electricity to heat air, it heats water. The water that a boiler heats can be used to heat the home with steam, or to provide a hot water supply to the household.
