What size system should I have installed?
Proper system sizing is essential for your home. If a system is too large, it may short cycle and fail to properly control humidity. If it is too small, it can run continuously without reaching the desired comfort level. We will be happy to design and configure the right system for your specific needs.
Is a bigger air conditioner better?
No, it is not. In the HVAC industry, bigger is not always better. A larger air conditioner uses more electricity and typically costs more to purchase, install, and maintain. A properly sized system delivers optimal efficiency and comfort in your home.
Selecting the correct size is essential. An oversized air conditioner may cool your home quickly, but it can shut off before adequately removing humidity, leaving you feeling less comfortable. Conversely, a system that is too small will struggle to keep up and may run continuously.
As Trane Comfort Specialists, we can help you determine the right-sized system for your home’s comfort needs.
How often should I change my filters?
Check your filter monthly and change it as needed, depending on its condition. Replace it when it becomes dirty or clogged.
I would like to upgrade to a new high efficiency air conditioner. Do you offer financing?
Yes, we offer financing options with approved credit for a variety of situations. Contact us to discuss the option that best fits your needs.
What are the benefits of a programmable thermostat?
A programmable thermostat is set to match your daily schedule, adjusting temperatures when you leave home and when you return. It reduces energy use while you are away, so you are not heating or cooling an empty house.
The system can be set to resume operation shortly before you arrive, ensuring your home is at a comfortable temperature when you walk in. Programmable thermostats can help reduce energy costs by up to 15% in the winter and up to 10% in the summer.
Why are air conditioners so noisy?
They are not noisy when you install new Trane components in your system. Older units were not built with the high-quality materials used today. Trane also utilizes compressor sound insulators and a WeatherGuard™ top, which not only helps reduce noise but also extends the life of the unit by preventing debris from entering the system.
Do I run any risk by accepting the lowest bid?
YES! If a bid is significantly lower than others, it may be due to differences in equipment quality, installation standards, or scope of work included in the proposal. We provide complete, transparent pricing so you know exactly what is included.
Our goal is to handle everything for you so you can simply relax and enjoy the comfort and energy efficiency of your new system.
If your heating and cooling system is more than 10 years old, it may be costing you more in energy bills than necessary. Older HVAC systems often run less efficiently, which can lead to higher utility costs and reduced comfort in your home. Upgrading and properly maintaining your equipment can help lower monthly expenses while improving indoor comfort.
Heating and cooling account for a large portion of your home’s energy use, often making up nearly half of your utility bill. By improving your system’s efficiency through regular maintenance, equipment upgrades, proper thermostat settings, insulation, and weatherization, you can significantly reduce energy costs while keeping your home comfortable year-round.
An energy-efficient furnace or air conditioner can make a noticeable difference, but the best results come from taking a whole-home approach. Combining high-efficiency equipment with proper insulation, air sealing, and smart temperature control can help maximize comfort and energy savings.
