QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Good to know
Service details depend on the home, the system and participating providers in your area.
Why is one room warmer than another?
Airflow restrictions, duct balance, insulation and sun exposure can all contribute. A system assessment can help narrow down the cause.
How often should a filter be changed?
Follow the filter maker and equipment guidance; the interval varies by filter thickness, pets, dust and run time.
Can a heat pump replace separate heating and cooling equipment?
Some homes use a heat pump as the primary system. Suitability depends on climate, existing equipment and system design.
