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.

As technology improves, so does the comfort levels and air quality in our homes. The air quality in your Rocklin, California, home will be better and healthier with these technology upgrades:

Humidifiers

Maintaining a comfortable level of humidity in your home is important. If it's too dry, it can cause irritation in your body, worsen asthma symptoms and even damage your home. Rocklin, California, is a fairly dry place, which makes humidifiers especially useful in its homes.

Air Purifiers

Air purifiers do what their name suggests: They make your home's air more pure and healthier. They're designed to remove contaminants and pollutants from your home's air and come in a variety of sizes and styles. Some of the most effective models use UV lights to kill the pollutants they catch.

Air Quality Monitors

An air quality monitor is a great piece of tech you can use to figure out what you need to do to improve your home's indoor air quality. They analyze your home's air to track factors such as humidity, dust, pollutants and other things that might be decreasing your air's quality. An air quality monitor should be one of the first tech upgrades you buy for your home.

Whole-Home Air Filtration System

A whole-home air filtration system is one of the most effective ways of improving your IAQ, as it works directly with your HVAC system to produce clean air. These technologies can work wonders in removing pollutants, odors, allergens and more from your home's air.

Ventilators

Ventilators are another HVAC upgrade that can help your home's IAQ. As we more successfully seal our homes from the outdoors, we're also subjecting ourselves to breathing the same recycled air over and over. Ventilators replace old air with new clean air while blocking outdoor contaminants from entering your home's air.Are you ready to explore your options for improving your home's IAQ?
