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.

Air quality has a significant impact on the comfort and health of you and your family members in Roseville, CA. These five reasons demonstrate why you should improve your indoor air quality:

Allergy Relief

Poor indoor air quality can aggravate the allergy symptoms you and others in your home experience. Your indoor air may contain allergens like pet dander, dust and ragweed, and these allergens can cause you and your family members to cough, sneeze and suffer from itchy eyes. You can help minimize or eliminate some or all of your indoor allergy symptoms by improving the quality of air inside your home.

Humidity Control

You can control humidity levels in your home better when you use equipment like a dehumidifier. Humidity control makes the air more comfortable and prevents microbial growth. It also helps your HVAC system function more efficiently.

Better Sleep

Cleaner air quality allows you and your family to sleep better. You experience less coughing and wheezing from pollutants like dirt, dust and pollen. Routine duct cleaning can help minimize contaminants in the air.

Higher Energy Efficiency

Poor IAQ makes your air conditioner work harder. When your AC system works harder, it uses more energy, raising your utility bills. You can have an HVAC service technician in Roseville, CA, conduct an energy audit on your home, recommend energy-saving tips and provide advice on how to improve your IAQ.

Fewer Odors

Improved air quality makes your home smell better. Odors from cooking and smoking can remain in the air for hours. Using an air purification system can reduce odors and improve the way your house smells.

These five benefits come from improving your indoor air quality. Contact Jaguar Heating & Air to learn more about our indoor comfort services. We'll ensure your air is clean and feels comfortable.
