Fillmore’s Air Conditioning Installations
You have options when it comes to air conditioning. The right setup can transform the comfort of your home. Most outdoor air conditioning units have lifespans of about 10 years. Replacing an old model with something new will feel like quite the upgrade. New technology allows for better energy efficiency and features like smartphone controls.
Technicians can add a heat pump to an existing HVAC system to improve cooling. Heat pumps can also be standalone systems for smaller homes or spaces. Despite the name, heat pumps provide cooling and heating to your home. They cool your home by transferring heat from inside to outside. Heat pumps qualify for federal income tax credits due to their energy efficiency.
Ductless mini-split systems are another option for adding cooling and temperature zoning. Your AC company will install them on an interior wall, and they then blow cool air into the immediate space. Many people add them to bedrooms to improve sleep and target cooling instead of lowering the temperature of the entire house. They are also a great solution for cooling in garages or converted attic spaces.
Maintenance From Your HVAC Company
Scheduled maintenance for your air conditioning system will extend its life and ensure consistent peak performance. The frequency of maintenance will depend on how often you use your AC. A trained HVAC contractor should inspect and clean your outdoor air conditioning unit once yearly. Some ductless mini splits and heat pumps have heating options.
If you use them for heating and cooling, they need deep cleaning and mechanical tune-ups twice a year. If your ductless mini split only provides air conditioning, an annual visit will suffice.
