Frequently Asked Questions
At Fraas Heating & Cooling, we’re always here to answer questions about our HVAC service offerings. Read our answers to some of the ones we hear most often, and feel free to contact us if you’d like more information!
How Often Should HVAC Systems Be Serviced?
For preventive maintenance, you should have your HVAC system serviced at least twice per year. More specifically, we recommend AC services in the spring and heating services in the fall. As part of your yearly maintenance, you should replace your filters every one to three months.
What Are Signs You Need Heating Repair?
If you’re hearing loud noises, including high-pitched squealing or low-pitched rattling and banging, you probably need heating repair. Uneven temperatures in your home and large energy bill increases without increased heating use are other signs to watch for. In addition, if you notice the air quality in your home decreasing, this can be a sign that you need heating repair.
When Should I Replace My HVAC System?
As a rule of thumb, consider replacing your HVAC system at least every 15 years. However, we never encourage a customer to replace their heating and cooling system if we can fix a problem with repairs. If you have an older HVAC system, our professionals can advise you on whether you’d be better off with a repair or a new installation.
