  • Why is my air conditioner blowing warm air?

    Several issues could lead your air conditioner to blow warm air. Common reasons include a malfunctioning compressor, low refrigerant levels, or a problem with the thermostat. According to Workyard, 88% of U.S. households use air conditioning, with two-thirds relying on central AC or heat pumps. It's advisable to have a professional HVAC technician inspect your system to diagnose and resolve the issue. For air conditioner or furnace repair, get in touch with us.
  • What does it mean if my furnace is making a strange noise?

    Unusual noises from your furnace often indicate a mechanical problem. These sounds could be due to loose components, motor issues, or airflow obstructions. It's important to have a professional examine your furnace promptly to prevent potential damage and ensure safe operation. Call today to schedule your furnace repair.
  • How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?

    We recommend having your HVAC system professionally serviced twice a year. Ideally, schedule maintenance in spring for your air conditioning and in fall for your heating system. Regular servicing helps maintain efficiency, prevent breakdowns, and extend the lifespan of your equipment. For AC and furnace repair, call our team.
  • What are the signs I may need a new HVAC system?

    Indicators that you might need a new HVAC system include frequent repairs, rising energy bills, inconsistent temperatures, excessive noise, and a system age over 15 years. If you're experiencing these issues, it may be more cost-effective to replace your system rather than continue with furnace repair. Call one of the top HVAC companies in the area today to learn more.
  • What is the ideal temperature to set my thermostat at during the summer and winter?

    For optimal comfort and energy efficiency, we suggest setting your thermostat to 78F in summer and 68F in winter when you're at home. You can adjust these temperatures when you're away or sleeping to further reduce energy consumption. Questions for our team about AC and furnace repair? Call Air Heroes HVAC today to learn more.
  • What is a SEER rating?

    SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It measures the cooling efficiency of air conditioning systems. A higher SEER rating indicates greater energy efficiency. Modern systems typically have SEER ratings between 13 and 21, with higher ratings resulting in lower energy costs.

  • How do I know if I have a leak in my ductwork?

    According to our experts, signs of ductwork leaks include higher than normal energy bills, rooms that are difficult to heat or cool, excessive dust in your home, and visible damage to exposed ducts. If you suspect a leak, it's best to have a professional HVAC technician perform a thorough inspection. Whether you need ductwork services or furnace repair, we can help. Schedule your service with one of the top HVAC companies in the area today.
  • Can I just replace the outdoor unit on an older HVAC system to save money?

    While it's possible to replace only the outdoor unit, it's generally not recommended. Your HVAC system is designed to work as a matched set. Replacing only one component can lead to reduced efficiency, potential compatibility issues, and shorter system lifespan. It's often more cost-effective to replace the entire system. Call us today to learn more about AC and furnace repair from our expert team.
  • What is HVAC zoning?

    HVAC zoning is a method of dividing your home into different temperature-controlled areas. It allows for customized comfort in various parts of your home and can improve energy efficiency. Zoning systems use multiple thermostats and dampers in the ductwork to direct airflow where it's needed most. To learn more about HVAC zoning and furnace repair, work with us.
