CAM HVAC Services recommends scheduling an HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) tune-up once a year. The timing depends on the type of system:

• For heating systems (furnaces or boilers): It's best to schedule a tune-up before winter starts (typically in the fall). This ensures that the system is running efficiently and can handle the colder months.
• For cooling systems (air conditioners): A tune-up is recommended before the summer season begins (typically in the spring). This helps ensure your air conditioner runs efficiently when the temperatures rise.
• For homes with both heating and cooling systems, scheduling a tune-up for each system once a year is ideal, with fall for heating and spring for cooling. If your HVAC system is older or has been experiencing issues, you may consider more frequent check-ups or repairs.

Regular HVAC services and tune-ups help extend the lifespan of your system, ensure it operates efficiently, and catch minor issues before they turn into costly repairs.

The lifespan of an HVAC system depends on the type, but we've found that you can expect the following:

• Air conditioners: 10 to 15 years.
• Furnaces: 15 to 20 years.
• Heat pumps: 10 to 15 years.
• Boilers: 15 to 25 years.

Our local HVAC company recommends a few tip to improve system efficiency:

• Regular maintenance: Schedule annual tune-ups to keep the system running efficiently.
• Seal air leaks: Ensure your home is properly insulated and that there are no leaks around windows, doors, or ducts.
• Set a programmable thermostat: Adjust temperatures when you're away to save energy.
• Clean filters: Change the air filter regularly.
• Use ceiling fans: Help circulate air to reduce the workload on your HVAC system.

Signs that you may need a repair or replacement include:

• Frequent breakdowns or the need for constant HVAC services.
• Rising energy bills despite no change in usage.
• Uneven cooling in your home.
• Old age to the point where it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than continue repairing it.

Furnaces are used for heating only and burn fuel (gas, oil, or electricity) to generate heat, which is then circulated through the home. Heat pumps, on the other hand, provide both heating and cooling by transferring heat from one place to another. Heat pumps are typically more energy-efficient for moderate climates but may struggle in very cold temperatures. To learn which is right for your needs, give our local HVAC company a call today!

Common heating system noises and their causes include:

• Banging or popping sounds: This could be from expanding and contracting ductwork or a clogged burner.
• Whistling: These noises are often due to air trying to pass through a clogged air filter or narrow ducts.
• Squealing: This could indicate an issue with the blower motor or fan belt. 

If the noise persists, it's best to have professional HVAC services done to inspect the system.
