AC Installation FAQs

Should I choose a heat pump or a furnace?
Heat pumps are efficient for moderate climates, providing both heating and cooling with one system. They work best above 30-40°F. Furnaces provide more powerful heat for cold climates and work in any temperature. In very cold regions, consider a dual-fuel system combining a heat pump with a gas furnace for optimal efficiency and comfort.
What constitutes an HVAC emergency?
HVAC emergencies include: complete system failure during extreme temperatures (heat over 90°F or cold under 40°F), gas leaks or smells, burning smells or smoke, electrical issues like sparking, refrigerant leaks with hissing sounds, and water leaks causing property damage. These situations can be dangerous and require immediate professional attention.
