HVAC FAQ

Here are some of the more commonly asked questions the Comfort Zone staff gets asked about our HVAC services:

What size HVAC system do I need?
It depends on the construction of your home. A one ton air conditioning unit can cool up to 800 square feet. You should have an HVAC contractor determine your home’s heating and cooling needs.

How can I increase efficiency and life?
It comes to regular maintenance, especially frequent filter cleaning and replacement. Make sure the blower is in the “on” position so air constantly moves through the home and allows better filtration. Also make sure windows that have extreme sunlight shining through have shades, drapes or shutters installed.

How often should my filters be replaced?
At least once a month to ensure optimum efficiency and filtration. Washable ones should be cleaned monthly.

What temperature should my thermostat be set at?
It depends on time of year. In summer, 78-80 degrees is the average, while 70-72 degrees in the winter is the most common.

Are systems with higher capacities better?
Not usually. A larger system with more capacity delivers less comfort and costs more to operate.
