FAQ

At Arctic Sun Heating & Cooling, we see a lot of HVAC problems that stem from poor air filter maintenance. The simple act of changing your filter can save you from countless headaches, so you should never overlook this critical detail. The frequency of air filter changes depends on various factors. You have to consider how many people are in the home, nearby construction areas, and any pets living in the home. As a general rule, we recommend replacing 1-inch disposable filters monthly. For 90-day filters, we suggest changing them every two months, as they often don't last the full 90 days. If you're in need of HVAC services, contact our team to get started!

We recommend scheduling maintenance for your HVAC equipment twice a year: once in the spring and once in the fall. This regular servicing helps ensure optimal performance and efficiency of your heating and cooling systems. The team at Arctic Sun Heating & Cooling can provide the service your unit needs.

There are several steps you can take to reduce your air conditioning costs. First, keep doors and windows closed to prevent the escape of air. You can also do this by sealing leaks in your ducts and outer openings. Internally, make sure the unit has a clean air filter. The coils and blower motor need to be cleaned as well, and you should make sure your refrigerant is properly charged. This is all part of annual furnace and air conditioner maintenance. This promotes better functionality, which can reduce your energy bills. Finally, make sure your thermostat is at a reasonable temperature. You can control how much or how little you run your system, and even a change of a few degrees can have a demonstrable impact on your energy bills. According to Energy Star, improperly installed HVAC equipment can reduce efficiency by up to 30%. Our local HVAC contractors are here to help you with your efficiency.
