What is a SEER rating?

The SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures the efficiency of your heating and cooling equipment. It represents the amount of cooling your system delivers per dollar spent on electricity. SEER ratings range from 13 to 21 — the higher the SEER, the more efficient the system. The total rating depends on both outdoor equipment (heat pump or air conditioner) and indoor equipment (evaporator coil, furnace, or air handler).

How often should I have my HVAC system maintained?

Heat pumps and air conditioners require a professional tune-up twice a year, in the spring and fall. Regular maintenance maximizes the lifecycle of your system and guards against common equipment failures. Inspections should include ductwork, pipes, dampers, valves, the chimney, registers, fans, compressors, coils, and refrigerant lines.

Should I use a programmable thermostat?

Yes. Programmable thermostats are more accurate and efficient than traditional mercury thermostats. They allow you to control your home's temperature at different times of day automatically, so you never forget to adjust settings — saving energy and money.

How do I choose the right air filter?

Standard filters keep your system and ductwork clean but don't significantly improve indoor air quality. A media air cleaner improves dust and particle removal up to seven times over a standard filter, and pleated media filters can remove everything from dust to airborne viruses. Replace disposable filters at least once a month, and wash reusable filters monthly.

What size HVAC system do I need?

System sizing depends on square footage, insulation, window configuration, geographic location, and duct arrangement. One ton of air conditioning can cool anywhere from 300 to 800 square feet depending on your home's construction. Jaguar Heating & Air performs an in-home load analysis to determine the right equipment for your home.

What does the Trane warranty cover?

Under the standard factory warranty, Trane covers parts that fail during the warranty period due to defect. All Trane equipment installed by Jaguar Heating & Air is registered with Trane Corporation to ensure your 10-year parts warranty. With a Jaguar Heating & Air Total Comfort Plan, you get a 10-year parts and labor warranty on your Trane equipment.

When it comes to improving your quality of life inside your home in Sacramento, there's a major component of our existence that people often overlook. We all need to breathe, but the truth is, not all of us are breathing the best air possible. And that can leads to problems. There are products that improve indoor air quality, though, helping you reduce allergens in your home and avoid illness. Consider these products if you want to clean your home’s air and enjoy a healthier lifestyle:

Air Cleaners

A change in seasons can really kick allergies into high gear, and it should come as no surprise that some potential allergens can make their way from the outdoors into your home. An air cleaner helps capture and trap these irritants so you don't end up breathing them in and worsening your allergy symptoms.

Air Purifiers

Not every air cleaning task can be handled by an air cleaner because not all allergens exist in open spaces. If you have smaller, closed-off rooms or closets, dirt and debris can show up in those places too. This makes a more compact air purifier a helpful addition to your home. Place it in those hard-to-clean areas and rest easier knowing your air is being purified to near perfection.

Humidifiers

It's not just allergens in the air that can affect your breathing. Dry air can also irritate your sinuses, causing allergies to flare up and make your time at home uncomfortable. A humidifier introduces moisture into the air to balance things out, and some even let you choose between a warm or a cool mist so you get the most comfort possible for the season.These are just a few innovative devices that can help you breathe a little easier at home. Contact Jaguar Heating & Air at 916-646-2007 to learn about the products we carry and install that will help improve your indoor air quality once and for all.
