Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I service my HVAC system?

    HVAC systems should be serviced twice yearly - once before heating season and once before cooling season. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns and keeps your system running efficiently.
  • What causes my air conditioner to freeze up?

    AC units freeze due to restricted airflow from dirty filters, blocked vents, or low refrigerant levels. Turn off the system and let it thaw completely before calling for service.
  • When should I replace my HVAC system?

    Replace your HVAC system after 15-20 years or when repair costs exceed half the replacement value. Newer systems offer better efficiency and lower energy bills.
  • Why is my heating bill so high?

    High heating bills often result from poor insulation, dirty filters, or an aging system working harder. Sealing ducts and adding attic insulation can significantly reduce costs.
  • How do I know if my ducts need cleaning?

    Clean ducts if you notice excessive dust, musty odors, or visible mold around vents. Pets, renovations, and allergy symptoms also indicate it's time for professional duct cleaning.
  • What size HVAC system do I need?

    HVAC sizing depends on square footage, insulation quality, and window placement. An oversized unit cycles frequently while an undersized unit can't maintain comfortable temperatures effectively.
  • Can I install a generator myself?

    Generator installation requires electrical permits and proper gas line connections. Professional installation ensures safety compliance and warranty protection for your backup power system.
  • Why does my furnace keep turning on and off?

    Short cycling occurs from dirty filters, thermostat issues, or improper system sizing. This wastes energy and causes premature wear requiring immediate professional attention.
  • How much attic insulation should I have?

    Oklahoma homes need R-38 to R-49 insulation levels in attics. Proper insulation reduces energy costs by 15% and improves year-round comfort in extreme weather.
  • What's included in HVAC maintenance service?

    Professional maintenance includes filter replacement, coil cleaning, refrigerant level checks, and electrical connections inspection. This prevents 95% of potential system failures.
