HVAC FAQs: What even is HVAC?

Heating and cooling aren’t things many of us spend a lot of time thinking about – until something within our home’s HVAC system malfunctions. Then, in a mad panic, we’re Googling to find out what to do about it. Good news! We’re here to help you avoid that and get informed about HVAC with these answers to some HVAC FAQs.

Yep, we’re going back to basics for this one. HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. It’s the system that keeps your home at comfortable temperatures throughout all seasons and provides healthy indoor air quality.

For optimal performance, you should be changing your air filter at least every thirty days (once a month). The number one cause of HVAC system failure is a clogged air filter, so check/clean/replace it regularly to ensure there aren’t any issues that could have been easily avoided.

With regular preventative maintenance and care, HVAC systems typically last 15-20 years. With the everchanging world of technology, however, homeowners might choose to upgrade sooner than later, especially if they live in an older home.

Programmable thermostats can help save you a lot of money on energy costs. Since you can tailor your heating and cooling system to your schedule with a programmable thermostat, you can ensure you’re only using heat and air conditioning when you’re there. Heating or cooling an empty house is not only more expensive, but also wasteful.

There are!
