Heating & Air Conditioning FAQ |
How often should I have my heating and air conditioning equipment serviced?
Heating and Air Conditioning equipment should be serviced once a year. At MacGregor we recommend having your heating system checked in the fall and your air conditioning system checked in the spring. That way you‘ll be ready for anything that the seasons have to throw at you!
My furnace needs to be replaced but my A/C is OK. Now what?
The highly skilled technicians at MacGregor can replace the old furnace and seamlessly marry the new furnace with your existing A/C unit. Some companies say they can do this kind of detailed installation but the result is less than satisfactory. A MacGregor HVAC specialist can help you pick the right system for your home and fill you in on all the details of a quality installation that is guaranteed 100%.
What size of a furnace or A/C do I really need for my home?
A properly sized system is very important. A system that is too big for your home will cool or heat your house quickly, but you probably won’t feel as comfortable as you wish. In the case of A/C, that’s because the thermostat sensed the desired temperature before the system could get the humidity out of the air. You feel sticky and humid and your house us susceptible to moisture and mold issues.
A system that is too small never can keep up and will never cycle off. This greatly increases your energy bills and substantially reduces the life of your system.
A properly sized system isn't just based on square feet of your home. Many factors go into determining the size of the system including thickness of the wall walls, number and size of windows, thickness of insulation, basement and attic use, house orientation, and many other details. A MacGregor comfort specialist will take detailed measurements of your home and scientifically determine the correct sized system. We will fit your home with the most efficient system for years of comfort and reliability.
