How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement?
If your AC is blowing warm air, making unusual noises, leaking, or failing to cool your home consistently, it may need repair. If your system is 10–15+ years old or requires frequent repairs, replacement may be more cost-effective. Our technicians at Real Air HVAC can diagnose the system and recommend the best option.
How long does a new AC installation take?
Most AC installations can be completed in 4–8 hours, depending on system size and home layout. We ensure a smooth, clean, and efficient installation process to minimize disruption.
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
Common causes include thermostat issues, a clogged filter, ignition problems, or malfunctioning components. A professional heating inspection can identify the exact issue quickly.
How often should I schedule furnace maintenance?
We recommend annual furnace maintenance before the cold season to ensure safe, reliable, and energy-efficient performance all winter long.
What’s included in HVAC maintenance?
Our maintenance service includes a full system inspection, filter check, coil cleaning, thermostat testing, airflow measurement, lubrication, electrical check, and overall performance evaluation to keep your system running at peak efficiency.
How often should I replace my HVAC air filters?
Most homes should change filters every 1–3 months. Homes with pets, allergies, or high dust levels may require more frequent changes.
Can poor indoor air quality affect my health?
Yes. Dirty air can trigger allergies, asthma, headaches, fatigue, and respiratory issues. Our indoor air quality services—such as air purifiers, duct cleaning, and humidity control—help keep your home healthier.
Do air purifiers really make a difference?
Absolutely. A quality air purifier removes dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke, mold spores, and other contaminants. It significantly improves indoor air quality and reduces allergy symptoms.
How can I lower my monthly energy bills with HVAC?
Regular maintenance, clean filters, proper insulation, programmable thermostats, and modern energy-efficient HVAC systems can dramatically reduce energy usage. Our team can evaluate your home and recommend cost-saving upgrades.
Is emergency HVAC service available if my system stops working?
Yes! Real Air HVAC offers fast, reliable emergency service to restore your heating or cooling system as quickly as possible.
