  • How often should I change my filter?

    Filters should be changed monthly to prevent costly repairs and equipment failure. If you need your filters changed, give our AC contractors in Terrell, TX a call today. 

  • What does a SEER rating mean?

    SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating. The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient an HVAC system can be in regard to heating and cooling. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, switching to high-efficiency air conditioners and taking other actions to keep your home cool could reduce energy use for air conditioning by 20% to 50%.

  • How can I keep my family safe if I have a gas furnace in my home?

    Every furnace needs proper maintenance, especially before the temperatures drop. Here are some ways to help keep your system in check and prevent any hazards. 

    • Service the furnace once a year with a licensed HVAC contractor or technician before turning on the heat.  
    • Install carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors and replace batteries every year.  
    • If the furnace is located in a closet, keep the closet clear of any combustible household items.  
    • If the furnace is located in the attic, keep the attic space clear near the furnace of any boxes or combustible items.

  • What type of filter should be used in an HVAC system?

    Minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) is a measure used to rate a filter’s ability to remove particles from the air. A higher MERV means a better ability to extract dust, allergens, dander, and other contaminants, including viruses and bacteria. Most disposable filters for home air conditioning systems are fiberglass. Pleated filters offer better cleaning and filtering than fiberglass filters, and they typically have higher MERV ratings.
