FAQs
Why is the temperature in my home inconsistent from room to room?
Hot and cold spots are a common complaint and the result of uneven airflow. This problem can be caused by clogged air filters, lack of HVAC maintenance, insufficient insulation and air escaping around windows. Pronto Heating & Air Conditioning provides professional evaluation and tailors solutions to suit your specific needs.
Is a bigger air conditioner better?
Oversizing the air conditioner results in less efficient operation and inferior comfort. Proper sizing is calculated by figuring the square footage of the home, number of windows and all sorts of factors. To ensure ideal sizing and optimum A/C performance, rely on the knowledge, experience and dedication of the professionals from Pronto Heating & Air Conditioning.
How do I maximize the lifespan of my HVAC equipment?
Adjusting the thermostat to reduce the workload of the heating and cooling system when the house is empty helps to lessen wear and tear. Conscientious replacement of air filters protects the system from harmful contaminants. Scheduling proactive maintenance from Pronto Heating & Air Conditioning resolves minor issues before they graduate into more serious concerns.
Does my heating and cooling system require annual maintenance?
All manufacturers recommend yearly inspection, cleaning, tuning and testing of all types of heating and cooling systems. Professional maintenance is typically a requirement of the manufacturer’s warranty. When you call on Pronto Heating & Air Conditioning, the service is quick, cost-effective and definitely improves the reliability, longevity, efficiency and value of your investment.
How often should air filters be replaced?
Typically, air filters need to be changed out every one to three months. A new, clean filter helps with system efficiency and reliability as well as your indoor air quality. Pets, indoor smoking, construction projects and a long list of factors may necessitate more frequent filter changes.
Why can’t I wash instead of replacing the filter?
While there are washable and reusable filters available, we at Pronto Heating & Air Conditioning do not recommend them. We’ve seen that if the filter is damp, it can contribute to mold growth and spread contaminants throughout the home.
Should I replace my indoor and outdoor units at the same?
Because the outdoor air conditioner or heat pump units are designed to partner with a compatible indoor unit, updating them both at the same time achieves maximum energy efficiency, output and overall performance. There’s also the potential for a manufacturer’s warranty that covers the entire system.
What caused my air conditioner to freeze?
There are quite a few reasons why the air conditioner might freeze up, including dirty evaporator coils, low refrigerant levels and issues with the blower motor. Pronto Heating & Air Conditioning encourages you to give us a call at (952) 767-7682 for accurate diagnosis and straightforward solutions.
How important is duct testing?
The majority of homeowners waste a significant amount of heated/cooled air to duct leaks. You might be sacrificing up to 30% of conditioned air. Since the air your family breathes passes through the system multiple times per day, any holes or buildup of contaminants has a major impact on indoor air quality, efficiency and comfort. Pronto Heating & Air Conditioning highly encourages scheduling an inspection of your ductwork with us today.
Do I need indoor air quality accessories?
Dusting, vacuuming and scrubbing aren’t always enough to combat bacteria, viruses, mold spores, dander, dust, VOCs and other harmful contaminants. To maximize the health of your home, it’s best to take proactive measures. Pronto Heating & Air Conditioning offers an innovative selection of whole-home IAQ options to suit your size of home, HVAC system, lifestyle and goals. Let us provide peace of mind.
Is a zoned HVAC system worth it?
Having an independent thermostat in each zone allows customized settings. You’ll no longer be stuck heating and cooling empty rooms to the ideal temperature. You can target those spaces that tend to feel chilly or overheated and accommodate personal comfort preferences. Zoned temperature control trims costs, lessens strain on the HVAC system and significantly improves the enjoyment of the home.
