Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency HVAC Services

What's the difference between a single-stage and two-stage furnace?

Single-stage furnaces have one level of heat output. They run at full capacity creating a cycle of on-and-off operation that can lead to temperature fluctuations. Two-stage furnaces have two levels of heat output: a lower setting for milder weather and a higher setting for colder conditions. Two-stage systems improve overall comfort.

What is a smart thermostat, and how can it save me money?

A smart thermostat is a Wi-Fi-enabled device that provides intelligent temperature control. Smart thermostats learn your preferences and schedules, automatically adjusting the temperature to save energy. They can help you save money on your energy bills by optimizing temperature settings and tracking your energy usage.

How can I prevent future HVAC emergencies?

Preventative maintenance is the best way to avoid HVAC emergencies. A well-maintained HVAC system is less likely to experience unexpected breakdowns. It is recommended to have your system inspected and serviced at least twice a year, typically once in the spring and once in the fall. Regular maintenance can also improve your system's efficiency, extending its lifespan and potentially saving you money on energy bills.

What is considered an HVAC emergency?

An HVAC emergency is any situation where your heating or cooling system breaks down unexpectedly and requires immediate attention. Examples of HVAC emergencies include:

• No heat in freezing weather
• No air conditioning in extreme heat
• Gas leaks
• Carbon monoxide leaks
• Frozen pipes
• Water leaks from HVAC equipment
• Electrical problems with your system

If you experience any of these situations, it's crucial to contact an emergency HVAC service provider immediately.
