We truly care about your comfort and want to see you and your family happy and satisfied. To ensure this, we’ve compiled a list of questions that you and one of our certified technicians can discuss:

1. Why Is My Airflow Weak?

If your hand is in front of your air conditioner’s air vent, you should feel a constant stream of cool airflow. If this is not the case, you need to inform one of our air conditioning service technicians of your lack of continuous air supply. They will then further evaluate each component to figure out what might be the source of the poor air movement.

Inadequate airflow could suggest a variety of problems, some more concerning than others. It could be from dirty air ducts, incorrectly built or designed systems, or improperly fitting metal or plastic ducts. It could also suggest problems such as frozen evaporator coils, compressor failure, or even HVAC ducts leaking.

Whatever the source is, your technician will thoroughly examine your air conditioning system and provide you with options to determine your best course of action, whether that’s air duct cleaning, a necessary repair, or a complete duct replacement.

2. Why Is There So Much Dust In My Home?

If HVAC systems don’t filter dust from the air efficiently, dust may build up inside the house. Obtaining a regular HVAC tune-up can help prevent this. It’s possible that the filter is the culprit. It could also be your AC units size, quality, or need for a replacement that is to blame. Consult with our air conditioning service team to determine how often your exact system needs a thorough cleaning, repairs, replacement, or general heating maintenance.

Our specialists can also help you update your air conditioning systems to have higher MERV rating filters. This is particularly helpful for those with severe allergies, as airborne contaminants and dust often hinder residential comfort. These filters are improved to capture up to 99% of allergens and limit the quantity of dirt floating around your house. This has many benefits, especially because it effectively eliminates the cause of allergy symptoms and adverse effects at the source. If this is still not enough, you should entertain getting an air purifier or air scrubbers to enhance your indoor air quality even more.

3. Where Is The HVAC Filter?

HVAC filter replacements or cleanings are recommended every other month. This can allow your equipment to function more efficiently, minimize overheating, and help to improve air quality indoors. Not knowing where to look for your filter in order to do this can result in prolonged procrastination and a slew of built-up problems and costs. An air conditioning contractor can point this out and teach you how to remove, clean, and replace it as needed.

4. Is It Possible To Decrease My Summer Costs?

When the summer rolls around, it is a commonly known fact that utility expenses rise with the reliance on air conditioners to cool your homes from the sweltering heat. If you think your monthly costs are questionable, or if you would like to see what options are available to make your AC use more cost and energy-efficient, ask one of our knowledgeable specialists at Lyons Air & Heat. They will inspect your system to see if you have an air leak, outdoor or indoor drafts, hardware problem, or if the system as a whole has fulfilled its useful life.

An AC tune-up service would be the best time for a technician to look for evidence of inefficiency and offer up advice or repair alternatives. For example, having programmable thermostats installed is an easy and simple solution to controlling the use and activity of your AC if there are no operational problems and the only concern is high energy costs.

5. Is It More Efficient To Turn Off The HVAC System When I Leave?

Knowing whether to turn off the HVAC system fully when leaving for a day or longer is a common concern among homeowners. But, the answer to this depends on a number of unique factors about your house and equipment. Our HVAC specialists can confirm or contest your theories of efficiency and offer up advice such as adjusting the thermostat by 5 or ten degrees for the season.

Finding a solution so that your HVAC isn’t straining itself to heat or cool your home is important for the health of the equipment, energy consumption, and expenses you end up paying. A programmable thermostat may pose as a great solution for this as well, especially if it has long-distance or mobile range control.
