Where to Find Good HVAC Help
To make sure your heating and air-conditioning systems work when needed, they must be properly installed and maintained. We’ve rated area heating and air-conditioning services for quality and price.
What to Do If You Need HVAC Repairs
If you need repairs, our ratings of local businesses will help you find a good company to perform them.
How to Choose New HVAC Equipment
If you need new heating and air-conditioning equipment, you want the best price on the highest-quality replacement. If you want to add central air conditioning or extend a system, it is even more important to make the right decisions.
Getting a Good Contract for an HVAC Installation Job
Once you’ve decided on the new heating or cooling system you want to buy, collect bids from high-quality contractors. Each contractor’s proposal should include several elements, all of them important in your choice on the best outfit for your job.
How Your Thermostat Settings Affect Energy Costs
The best way to cut home energy costs is the most obvious one: Dial down your thermostat, and get and use a programmable thermostat.
Maintaining HVAC Equipment
The most important maintenance task for both heating and cooling systems is something you can do yourself—replacing the air filter. Check your filter monthly. When a filter has a matting of dirt—i.e., it’s difficult to see through when you hold it up to a light—it’s time to replace it.
HVAC Equipment Features to Consider
If you are installing new equipment, in addition to making choices about energy efficiency, you will need to decide whether to pay extra for various features. Here is a summary of the types of add-ons.
Ground-Source Heat Pumps
Ground-source heat pumps are the ultimate energy savers, but their high up-front costs are prohibitive for most homeowners.
Are HVAC Service Contracts Worth It?
Rather than paying for individual maintenance visits and repair jobs, you might consider getting a service contract for air-conditioning and/or heating equipment. Many companies try to persuade customers to enter into such contracts.
