Air Conditioning & Heating FAQ

HVAC is a catch-all acronym for your home or business’s central air conditioning and heating system and stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning.

Your air conditioner or furnace will have a label on it containing the model number and the production date. You can go onto your brand’s website and search for the model number and production date to see if you have a warranty and what it is.

Your air conditioner and furnace should hum quietly when running. If you hear a loud whooshing sound or something that sounds like a lawnmower, there could be problems with the fan or motor. A banging or rattling sound usually means there’s a broken or loose part.

A tune-up is a regular inspection of your HVAC, like an annual check-up, to ensure it’s running smoothly. Precision tune-ups include cleaning the appliance, looking for loose parts or small repairs and fixing them, and topping off your air conditioner’s coolant.

A trip charge is the fee associated with the time and travel of sending an HVAC tech to your home or business and their time determining the cause of your HVAC issue.

This may indicate either a faulty system design, loose connections between the duct and appliance, or the ducts themselves.

Regular maintenance can help prevent small problems with your HVAC from turning into expensive emergencies. Your HVAC tech checks for wear and tear on parts and advises you on what to fix to avoid a complete breakdown. Replacing worn parts and cleaning the unit regularly keep it functioning at optimum levels.

Either you have restricted air flow, or you’re low or out of refrigerant. You’ll either need more coolant or to move whatever is limiting the airflow of your air conditioner.

A zoning system is one way to manage costs. Another is to adjust your settings for your furnace a couple of degrees lower in the winter and your air conditioner a few degrees higher in the summer. Regular maintenance helps our appliances run more efficiently, or you can choose to upgrade your HVAC equipment for more efficient newer models.

Yes, polluted indoor air can make allergy symptoms worse and make it harder for people with respiratory conditions to breathe. Pet dander, dirt and debris, mold spores, and pollutants from the outside all contribute to poor indoor air quality.

A professional from Texas Eagle AC & Heating can check your indoor air quality, including conducting a carbon monoxide check. Regular ductwork cleaning and filter changes can help reduce pollutants, and dusting and vacuuming often will reduce the amount of dust and dander in your home.

A standard 1-3 inch filter should be changed every 30-60 days. If you have pets or suffer from allergies, then you may benefit from changing your air filter more often.
