HVAC Maintenance FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions
  • How often should I have my central air conditioner serviced?

    Most experts recommend having your central air conditioner serviced at least once a year. Regular maintenance will help keep your system running efficiently and prevent expensive repairs down the road.

  • Why does my swamp cooler smell bad?
    There can be a few reasons why your swamp cooler is smelling bad. One possibility is that the unit needs to be cleaned. If the evaporative cooler isn't cleaned regularly, dirt and dust can build up, which can cause the unit to smell bad. Another possibility is that the water reservoir needs to be emptied. If the water reservoir is full of algae or other contaminants, it can cause the unit to smell bad. Finally, if the air filters aren't replaced often enough, they can start to smell bad. Contact us today for more information about how to fix a smelly swamp cooler!
  • What are the benefits of a central air conditioner?

    There are many benefits to having a central air conditioner, including improved home comfort, increased energy efficiency, and improved indoor air quality. Central air conditioners are also very quiet, so you won't even know they're there! Contact us today to learn more about the benefits of a central air conditioner.

  • How often should I have my central air conditioner serviced?

  • What is the difference between a central air conditioner and a ductless mini split air conditioner?

    A central air conditioner is a single unit that is typically installed outdoors. A ductless mini split air conditioner is a two-part system that consists of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. The outdoor unit pumps refrigerant to the indoor unit, which then blows cool air into your home. Ductless mini split systems are more efficient than central air conditioners because they don't lose any cool air through ductwork. Contact us today to learn more about the differences between these two types of air conditioners.

  • How do I know if my evaporative cooler is working properly?

    There are a few signs that your evaporative cooler is not working properly. One sign is if the unit is not blowing any air. Another sign is if the unit is not cooling the air. Finally, if the unit is making strange noises, it could be a sign that something is wrong. If you notice any of these signs, contact us today for more information.
