Pickler Air suggests scheduling HVAC equipment servicing twice a year to maintain safe and efficient operation. Neglected systems are more prone to repairs, and airflow may suffer from dirt and debris accumulation. Regular HVAC maintenance enhances equipment lifespan and energy efficiency.

During an HVAC maintenance visit, our technicians will perform a thorough inspection of your system, clean components, check for leaks, lubricate moving parts, test controls, and ensure proper system operation.

The duration of an HVAC installation depends on various factors, including the size of the system, complexity of the installation, and any necessary ductwork modifications. On average, a complete installation can take anywhere from one to three days.

Ensuring regular filter replacement is crucial for maintaining peak efficiency in your system, providing residents with clean, circulating air free of dust, dirt, and allergens. If your filter isn't disposable, it should be cleaned every one to two months. Disposable filters should be changed every one to two months for cheaper options and every two to four months for premium filters. To help remember, mark all necessary filter changes on your calendar.

There are several ways to improve indoor air quality, including installing air purifiers, upgrading air filters, maintaining proper ventilation, and scheduling regular duct cleaning services. Our team can provide recommendations tailored to your specific needs.

Many homeowners and business proprietors may not realize that their aging AC or heating system can be up to 60 percent less efficient compared to modern HVAC equipment. Moreover, wear and tear or neglect of maintenance can further contribute to decreased efficiency. Your Pickler Air technician might suggest replacing your HVAC system if: You're facing a significant repair that may not justify the expense. Your utility bills are consistently rising while your system's efficiency is declining. You're expanding your home or facility and need a larger AC unit. When you upgrade your system with Pickler Air, you'll enjoy premium, year-round temperature control while saving on monthly utility costs.

The answer to this question isn't straightforward and varies based on several factors such as your home's age, square footage, construction type, and insulation, along with the performance rating of the chosen system. Pickler Air's indoor comfort specialists will assess your heating and cooling requirements and perform a comprehensive energy analysis of your entire house to identify the system that will enhance your comfort for years to come.

The SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures the efficiency of your heating and cooling equipment by determining the amount of cooling your system delivers per dollar spent on electricity, relative to other systems. For instance, a 3-ton unit may have a SEER efficiency rating ranging from 13 to 15. A higher SEER indicates greater efficiency, with ratings typically ranging from 13 to 21 for any given unit.

Your heating and cooling systems tirelessly perform their functions every day to keep your home comfortable. The constant operation, starting, and stopping can lead to wear and tear if proper care and maintenance are neglected. However, regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your heating or cooling unit and prevent many common equipment failures. Routine preventive maintenance inspections can identify leaks, rust, rot, soot, frayed wires, and corroded electrical contacts. It's important to schedule maintenance regularly to maximize efficiency and prevent potential problems in the future.
