FAQ
How often should an AC unit be cleaned?
AC units should be cleaned at least once a year. Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance, energy efficiency, and extends the lifespan of the unit. In environments with high levels of dust or allergens, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.
What are the benefits of cleaning an AC unit?
Cleaning an AC unit improves its efficiency, reduces energy consumption, enhances indoor air quality, and prevents potential breakdowns. It also helps in removing dust, mold, and other contaminants that can affect the health of occupants.
How important is my indoor air quality?
Indoor air quality is crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment. Poor air quality can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems. Good indoor air quality enhances comfort, well-being, and overall health.
What exactly is a VRF system and how does it work?
A Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system is an advanced air conditioning system that allows for precise temperature control in different zones or rooms. It works by adjusting the flow of refrigerant to each indoor unit based on the specific cooling or heating requirements, providing efficient and flexible climate control.
What is BTU?
BTU, or British Thermal Unit, is a unit of measurement used to quantify the amount of heat energy. In the context of air conditioning and heating, it measures the cooling or heating capacity of an HVAC system. One BTU represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
What is a central system?
A central system refers to a centralized HVAC system that provides heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to an entire building or home from a single point. It typically consists of a central air handler connected to a network of ducts that distribute conditioned air throughout the space.
How do I choose what units to put in the space I have?
Choosing the right units for your space depends on factors like the size of the area, the layout, insulation, and your specific cooling or heating needs. Our experts can help assess your space and recommend the most suitable units for optimal performance and efficiency.

We offer a satisfaction guarantee on all our services, ensuring high-quality workmanship and reliable performance. Specific warranties may vary depending on the type of service or product, so please consult with us for detailed information.
How can I protect the life span of my units?
Regular maintenance is key to protecting the lifespan of your units. This includes cleaning filters, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical components, and scheduling professional tune-ups annually. Additionally, keeping the surrounding area clean and free of debris helps maintain optimal performance.
If I replace an indoor unit, do I need to replace the outdoor as well?
It is not always necessary to replace both indoor and outdoor units simultaneously. However, compatibility between the two units is crucial for efficient operation. Upgrading one component without considering the other can lead to performance issues, so it’s best to consult with our professionals for the best approach.
