Frequently Asked Questions
My Everett home's heat pump isn't keeping up on cooler days. What could be wrong?
This is a common issue in our climate. Often, it's due to refrigerant levels being off, a dirty coil reducing efficiency, or the system being incorrectly sized or calibrated for your home's specific heating load. Our technicians perform a comprehensive diagnosis to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a simple maintenance item or a component needing repair—to restore your heat pump's reliable performance.
How can high humidity in Everett affect my HVAC system, and what can Pettit Oil do?
High humidity makes your air conditioner work much harder to cool your home, leading to higher energy bills and potential strain on the system. It can also promote mold growth and reduce indoor air quality. We offer solutions like system tune-ups to ensure optimal dehumidification during cooling cycles, recommendations for properly sized equipment, and can discuss integrating whole-home dehumidifiers to actively manage moisture levels for greater comfort and efficiency.
What regular maintenance do you recommend for Everett-area HVAC systems to prevent these problems?
We recommend bi-annual maintenance—once in the spring before cooling season and once in the fall before heating season. This service includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, calibrating thermostats, inspecting electrical components, and ensuring proper drainage. This proactive care is crucial for preventing the performance drops and humidity issues common here, extending your system's life and maintaining its efficiency year-round.
