One of the easiest and cheapest ways to improve your home’s heating and an AC system is cleaning and maintenance. By keeping it well-maintained, you can improve its efficiency and lower your utility bills.

On average, a direct replacement & installation of an air conditioning unit takes around 4 – 6 hours. Additional time may be required depending on factors such as if the installation team is replacing the disconnect box, refrigerant lines, etc.

Obviously the time of year becomes a big factor for desired temperature settings. In the summer months the average temperature setting is 70°- 72°, in the winter 76°-78° seems to be the most common setting. Remember, when leaving your house, try to avoid drastic temperature changes. Do not set your temperature back more than 5°; this will cause your unit to work harder to achieve the desired temperature setting.

At Ivannova Air Conditioning, we think you should change air filters every 30-60 days, depending on how many people and pets may be in the home. We advise checking and changing air filters in high-use seasons even more often.

You should have maintenance done on your air conditioning system twice a year. This ensures maximum efficiency and enables us to potentially catch possible problems that might plague you in the near future. Our Maintenance Plans are designed to help keep your air conditioning system running at its peak efficiency for the whole year.

Allergies and asthma affect more than 41 million Americans. If you’re part of this group, we suggest you get an appointment to clean your air ducts. Doing so can benefit your health and overall breathing and give you a more efficient air conditioning system.

There are many factors that can determine whether you should have your AC system repaired or replaced. The age of your system, the severity of the problem, maintenance and service history, and other factors will all play a role in your decision. Our team will go over your best options with you.

The average life expectancy of your air conditioning system depends on how often you use it, the make and model, its age, and how often you have it serviced. An HVAC system can last about 15 years, while heat pumps can go a bit longer.

Like most machines, air conditioners don’t last forever and tend to wear out over time and become inefficient—which results in higher electrical costs. Any system over 10 years old is likely in need of maintenance or a replacement.

Many factors come into play to determine the size capacity system your home requires—like square footage, climate, humidity insulation, direction of home etc. We recommend that you size your system according to your home’s square footage for maximum efficiency.
