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 Ductless mini-split?

Accepted Answer

A heating and cooling system consisting of an outdoor compressor/condenser and one or more indoor air-handling units connected by refrigerant lines — no ductwork required. Mini-splits are ideal for additions, converted garages, older homes without ducts, or zone-specific temperature control. Each indoor unit (head) serves one room/zone and can be wall-mounted, ceiling-cassette, or floor-standing. System costs: single-zone (one indoor + one outdoor unit) $3,000–$5,000 installed; multi-zone (2–5 heads sharing one outdoor unit) $5,000–$15,000. Efficiency: modern mini-splits achieve 20–30 SEER (vs. 14–16 for central AC), cutting cooling costs 30–50%. Heat pump models work down to -15°C to -25°C (brand-dependent). Maintenance: clean filters monthly, professional coil cleaning annually ($100–$200). Lifespan: 15–20 years. In Spain, mini-splits dominate the residential market — most homes use 1–3 units rather than central ducted systems, with installation costs of €800–€2,500 per unit.
