Frequently Asked Questions
My Peabody home's heater keeps turning on and off quickly (short cycling). What's the likely cause?
Short cycling in Peabody is often caused by an oversized unit, a clogged air filter restricting airflow, or a faulty thermostat. It forces your system to work harder, wasting energy and causing wear. Our technicians can diagnose the exact issue—whether it's a simple filter change or a more complex repair—to restore normal operation and prevent damage to your heating system.
How often should I change my HVAC air filter to prevent problems in my Peabody home?
We recommend Peabody homeowners check their standard 1-inch filters monthly and replace them every 1-3 months, especially during peak heating or cooling seasons. Homes with pets or allergies may need more frequent changes. A clogged filter is a common culprit for poor airflow, reduced efficiency, and system strain, which can lead to more costly repairs. Regular changes are a simple way to protect your investment.
