These factors include how often the system is used, the make and model, the age, and how often it was serviced. You can expect your HVAC to last about 15 years, while a heat pump can last a few years longer.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\">\n<h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"heading-3\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse-3\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse3\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tHow often should I replace the filter?<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<div id=\"collapse-3\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-3\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-1\">\n<div class=\"accordion-body\">\n\t\t\t\tIt is always a good idea to change your air filter in the fall and spring, just before at the start of the major heating and cooling seasons. Otherwise, check your filter every other month to assess whether it is clean enough to filter the contaminants properly.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\">\n<h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"heading-4\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse-4\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse4\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tHow often should I have maintenance done on my air conditioner?<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<div id=\"collapse-4\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-4\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-1\">\n<div class=\"accordion-body\">\n\t\t\t\tMaintenance on your air conditioning system should be performed at least once a year \u2013 spring to early summer (before the extreme temperatures arise).

A modern HVAC system can save the typical household up to 50 percent on energy costs. While a new furnace and air conditioning unit can help lower utility bills, they can also offer a higher level of comfort throughout your home.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\">\n<h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"heading-6\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse-6\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse6\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tHow important is it to get the right size of heating and cooling equipment?<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<div id=\"collapse-6\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-6\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-1\">\n<div class=\"accordion-body\">\n\t\t\t\tIt is essential that your HVAC is the correct size for your home. Heating and cooling equipment that is over-capacity (too big) will not run as frequently or long enough to cool or heat appropriately. HVAC equipment that is under-sized, will also result in loss of comfort during temperature extremes. In both instances, energy efficiency will be extremely poor.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\">\n<h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"heading-7\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse-7\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse7\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tHow can I increase the efficiency and life of my home\u2019s HVAC?<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<div id=\"collapse-7\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-7\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-1\">\n<div class=\"accordion-body\">\n<div class=\"h5\">Some quick tips:<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>Clean and replace the air filters frequently.<\/li>\n<li>Your system will work more efficiently when the blower is in the \u201con\u201d position.

Pet dander, dust, cleaning solutions, and even cooking can pollute your air, which can build up over time. Particulates trapped in the air can carry viruses or bacteria, and aggravate conditions like asthma and allergies. Home Service Heroes can provide an indoor air analysis and give you personalized results based on what we find.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"accordion-item\">\n<h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"heading-9\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse-9\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse9\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat temperature should I set for my thermostat?<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<div id=\"collapse-9\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"heading-9\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordion-1\">\n<div class=\"accordion-body\">\n\t\t\t\tObviously, the season becomes a crucial factor for desired temperature settings in the home. In summer, the average temperature setting is 76\u00b0-78\u00b0, and 69\u00b0-71\u00b0 during the winter. When leaving your house, it is important to avoid drastically altering the temperature setting. Never set your thermostat back more than 5 degrees as this will cause your HVAC to work harder \u2013 wasting energy and potentially harming the unit.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ornament\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/homeserviceheroesfl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/ornament.svg\" alt=\"company icon\"><\/div>\n<h6 class=\"text-center\">Got more questions?
