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.
