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.

Do you want to save energy and money? Smart thermostats allows you to control the temperature of your home using an internet-controlled device. Here are ways to choose a new smart thermostat for your home in Sacramento, CA:

Cost-Saving Benefits

Firstly, smart thermostats can reduce your electricity utility bills by lowering your energy consumption. They also provide you with precise and accurate information. As a result, they can prevent your home from overheating.

Smart thermostats generate energy reports that help you monitor your energy use. These reports will show you the cost of your energy consumption. Smart thermostats use these reports to adjust temperatures and lower your energy bills.

An energy profile consists of the size, location, and methods of heating or cooling your home. A smart thermostat uses your energy profile to manage your energy consumption more efficiently. A home energy profile allows your thermostat to adjust automatically to your heating and cooling preferences. As a result, they save you money.

Time-Saving Benefits

Smart thermostats have movement detectors that monitor movement patterns in your home. This feature allows your smart thermostat to adjust temperatures automatically when you leave your house or when there's a change in the weather.

Smart thermostats enable you to give voice commands. This saves you the time you would have spent to program your thermostat manually. You can also remotely program your smart thermostat using your smartphone.

Compatibility With Your Home

Finally, smart thermostats use low voltage lines to operate. You should check whether the wiring in your home is compatible with a smart thermostat. A smart thermostat should be compatible with the home equipment it is supposed to control.
