The most important aspect of HVAC maintenance is maintaining unrestricted airflow. Dust, dirt, and debris are an HVAC system’s worst enemies. Whether it’s an indoor or outdoor unit, you must keep all filters clean and ensure that heat exchangers and coils are free of restrictions.

We recommend that your heating and cooling system be checked and serviced twice a year, ideally during spring and autumn tune-ups. Additionally, we suggest changing your filter regularly, depending on the type of filter you have. This practice alone can eliminate many of the most common problems that require fixing and can significantly reduce the likelihood of a serious breakdown.

Locate the label on the outer surface of the equipment to find the manufacture date. If the equipment is less than five years old, it may still have a warranty; however, this depends on the specific model. Warranty terms and conditions vary by manufacturer and the installing company. Krisp Air can verify the warranty status of your heating and cooling system.

Regular filter replacement helps your heating and cooling system operate at peak efficiency and improves indoor air quality. It is essential to change filters regularly to ensure proper airflow and to keep your home free from dust, allergens, and germs. Depending on the type of filter you have, you may need to replace it weekly or monthly. A Krisp Air service or installation technician will recommend the ideal filters and replacement schedules for your unit(s).

Yes, loud heating and cooling equipment contribute to sound pollution. While there are no financial savings directly associated with lower sound levels, the sound rating of a cooling system can significantly affect the comfort and enjoyment of your home. The sound level of an air conditioner or heat pump depends on various factors, including the age and make of the unit, as well as whether the compressor is insulated, which can influence the amount of noise it produces.

Bigger isn’t always better; it’s performance and efficiency that truly count. Before purchasing a replacement system, you should always ensure that your system is sized properly to match your needs and budget. Krisp Air will thoroughly assess your home and comfort requirements to determine the proper size and make the appropriate recommendations.

A few quick tips:

• Clean and replace your filters frequently to ensure optimal performance.
• Set the blower to the “on” position for more even heating and cooling throughout your home. This setting provides constant air movement and enhances air filtration.
• Install shades, drapes, shutters, or screens on windows exposed to extreme sunlight to help maintain moderate room temperatures and improve overall comfort.

You may have tried to cover up indoor odours by spraying air fresheners or lighting candles. Unfortunately, these tactics only mask the odours; they don’t eliminate them. In fact, these remedies may negatively affect indoor air quality due to chemicals that can cause allergic reactions or eye irritation for homeowners.

The best way to prevent smells is to have regular air conditioning maintenance. Dust, mildew, mould, and other contaminants can build up in the indoor unit, causing unpleasant odours. Allowing fresh air into the home can also help eliminate these issues.

Sometimes, poor ventilation contributes to unpleasant odours. Moisture condensation on walls, windows, and stagnant air are signs of poor ventilation. A qualified Service Experts technician can inspect your home comfort system to determine if this is an issue that should be addressed. The technician can also inform you on how to improve the ventilation system’s ability to correctly circulate and ventilate indoor air.

It is important for safety and insurance purposes that all repairs and installation of HVAC systems be completed by a licensed technician. Krisp Air is accredited with the ARC Tick Approval.

Temperature settings depend on the time of year and your personal preferences. In summer, the average temperature setting is 21°C. In winter, 23°C is the norm. Remember, when leaving your house, try to avoid drastic temperature changes. Do not set your temperature back more than 15°C; this will cause your unit to work harder to achieve the desired temperature setting.
