Question 1

Is it an emergency (no heat in winter, gas smell)?

Accepted Answer

If you smell gas, leave the house and call your gas company first. No-heat situations in freezing weather qualify for emergency service — tell the dispatcher so they can prioritize. Emergency HVAC calls typically cost more than scheduled visits.

Question 2

What type of system do you have?

Accepted Answer

Central air, heat pump, mini-split, furnace, boiler — the tech needs to know before arriving. If you're not sure, check the unit label or send a photo of the indoor and outdoor units.

Question 3

When was the system last serviced?

Accepted Answer

Annual maintenance is standard. If your system hasn't been serviced in years, mention it — the tech may need to do a full tune-up before diagnosing a specific issue.

Question 4

What exactly is happening — or not happening?

Accepted Answer

Is it blowing warm when it should be cold? Making a noise? Short-cycling? Not turning on at all? Specific symptoms narrow the diagnosis and let the tech bring the right parts.

Question 5

Have you checked the thermostat and filter?

Accepted Answer

A dead thermostat battery or a clogged filter causes most 'system not working' calls. Check both before scheduling — you may save yourself a service fee.

Question 8

What is a Furnace filter?

Accepted Answer

A furnace filter (also called an HVAC filter or air filter) is a disposable or reusable filtration media installed in a forced-air heating and cooling system to trap airborne particles before they circulate through ductwork and living spaces. Filters are rated on the MERV scale (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) from 1 to 16 for residential use: MERV 1–4 capture large particles like dust bunnies and carpet fibers; MERV 5–8 (the most common residential grade) capture mold spores, dust-mite debris, and pet dander; MERV 9–12 trap fine dust, legionella, and auto-emission particles; MERV 13–16 capture bacteria, tobacco smoke, and droplet nuclei, approaching hospital-grade filtration. Higher MERV ratings provide cleaner air but also increase static pressure, which can reduce airflow and strain the blower motor if the system was not designed for dense filters — always confirm the maximum MERV your unit supports before upgrading. Standard 1-inch fiberglass throwaway filters cost $2–$5 and should be replaced every 30 days, while pleated 1-inch filters cost $5–$15 and last 60–90 days. Deeper 4–5-inch media filters ($15–$30) last 6–12 months and offer better filtration with less airflow restriction. Washable electrostatic filters ($30–$80) are reusable for 3–5 years but must be cleaned monthly. A clogged filter forces the blower to work harder, increasing energy consumption by 5–15%, and can cause the evaporator coil to freeze in cooling mode or the heat exchanger to overheat in heating mode — both potentially expensive repairs. Changing your filter regularly is the single easiest and cheapest maintenance task to protect HVAC efficiency and indoor air quality.

Question 9

What is a Condensing furnace?

Accepted Answer

A condensing furnace (also called a high-efficiency furnace) is a gas-fired heating system rated at 90–98% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency), meaning it converts 90–98 cents of every fuel dollar into usable heat. It achieves this by extracting additional heat from exhaust gases that a conventional (80% AFUE) furnace vents as waste. The exhaust gases are cooled until water vapor condenses, releasing latent heat. This condensation produces acidic water (condensate) that must be drained through a PVC pipe — condensing furnaces vent through plastic pipe rather than a metal chimney flue. The two-stage or modulating burners found in many condensing models adjust output to match demand, reducing temperature swings and improving comfort. Condensing furnaces cost $2,500–$6,500 for the unit and $1,000–$3,000 for installation — about $1,000–$2,000 more than a standard furnace. However, they save 10–15% on heating bills annually, often paying back the premium in 5–8 years. Expected lifespan is 15–20 years. Because they produce acidic condensate, the secondary heat exchanger must be stainless steel or coated aluminum to resist corrosion.
