Question Answers
What's the most common HVAC issue you see in Salem homes, and how can I prevent it?
The most frequent issue is reduced efficiency from clogged air filters. A dirty filter restricts airflow, forcing your system to work harder and driving up energy costs. For Salem homeowners, we recommend checking your filter monthly and replacing it at least every 90 days, or more often if you have pets or allergies. It's a simple, cost-effective step that protects your system.
My AC isn't cooling well. Could it be a dirty evaporator coil, and how do you fix it?
Absolutely. A dirty evaporator coil, located inside your air handler, can't absorb heat effectively, leading to weak cooling and higher humidity. This is a common issue in our area. Our technicians perform a professional coil cleaning as part of our maintenance service, safely removing dirt and debris to restore your system's efficiency and cooling power.
As a Salem resident, how often should I have my HVAC system professionally serviced?
We advise having your heating and cooling systems serviced twice a year—once in the spring for your AC and once in the fall for your furnace. This proactive, seasonal maintenance catches small issues like dirty coils or worn parts before they become major repairs. It ensures your system is ready for Virginia's hot summers and chilly winters, saving you money and hassle.
