HVAC is short for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. HVAC is most often used to depict the whole heating and cooling system consisting of ductwork, air filters, humidification controls, and registers.
We recommend that your heating and cooling system be checked and serviced twice a year; ideally a spring and autumn tune-up. The most important part of HVAC maintenance is unrestricted airflow. Changing all filters once a month can eliminate the most common issues a unit will experience and can significantly reduce the likelihood of a breakdown. Dust, dirt, and debris are an HVAC system’s worst enemies. Whether it’s an indoor or outdoor unit, heat exchangers, coils, and all filters must remain clean and free of restrictions.
Regular filter replacement helps your heating and cooling system operate at peak levels and improves indoor air quality. It is important to change filters regularly to ensure proper air flow and to keep your home free from dust, allergens and germs. Depending on the type of filter you have, you may require monthly or annual filter replacements. Your Texas Pride Heating & Air service or installation technician will recommend the ideal filters and replacement schedules for your unit(s).
Yes. Loud heating and cooling equipment contribute to sound pollution. Although no financial savings are tied to lower sound levels, the sound rating of a cooling system can have a considerable effect on comfort and enjoyment of your home. The sound level of an air conditioner or heat pump depends on a variety of factors, such as the age and make of the unit, and whether the compressor is insulated or not can contribute to the amount of noise it makes.
Bigger isn’t always better; its performance and efficiency that count. Before purchasing a replacement system, you should make sure your system is sized to match your needs and budget. Your Texas Pride Heating & Air will thoroughly assess your home and comfort requirements to determine the proper size and make the appropriate recommendation.
Temperature settings depend on the time of year and your personal preferences. In the summer, the average temperature setting is 75°-80°. In the winter 68°-72° is the norm. Remember, when leaving your house; try to avoid drastic temperature changes. Do not set your temperature back more than 5°; this will cause your unit to work harder to achieve the desired temperature setting
