Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common HVAC repair, installation, and maintenance questions from local San Diego homeowners.
We recommend scheduling an air conditioning tune-up once per year in early spring before hot weather sets in, and a heating tune-up in early autumn. Regular bi-annual maintenance prevents costly breakdowns, maintains efficiency, and preserves manufacturer warranties.
If your unit is less than 10-12 years old and the repair cost is reasonable, a repair is usually best. However, if your system is over 12-15 years old, uses obsolete R-22 refrigerant, or requires frequent expensive repairs, replacing it with a high-SEER2 energy-efficient unit will save money on utility bills over time.
Yes! Heat pumps are ideal for Southern California's moderate climate. They provide both cooling in summer and efficient heating in winter without burning fossil fuels. Plus, high-efficiency heat pumps qualify for significant federal Tax Credits under the Inflation Reduction Act.
SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2) is the updated federal standard for measuring HVAC efficiency. Higher SEER2 ratings mean greater energy efficiency and lower monthly electric bills. In California, all new central AC installations must meet minimum SEER2 rating requirements.
Our emergency HVAC dispatch operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In most cases across San Diego, La Jolla, Carlsbad, and El Cajon, we can have a technician at your doorstep within 1 to 2 hours of your call.
