Due to the unique characteristics of each home&#8217;s construction, there is no predetermined parameter for sizing.<\/p>\n<p>To accurately determine the size of HVAC system required, it is advisable to consult a licensed professional HVAC technician. They will assess the layout of your home and provide recommendations based on its specific needs. Various factors are taken into consideration when calculating the appropriate size, including the size of the home, the number and orientation of windows, external elements, and the desired comfort level of your family.<\/p>\n<p>Our HVAC technician can also offer a selection of energy-efficient options to effectively regulate the temperature of your home throughout the year.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Bigger_Air_Conditioners_Perform_Better\"><\/span>Do Bigger Air Conditioners Perform Better?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A larger AC does not mean better performance or more comfort. An oversized AC can actually cost you more money in the long run. On the other hand, an undersized AC will need to work harder to maintain the desired temperature. So, proper sizing of your AC is important. Getting an HVAC technician involved to select and size your AC is important to make the right decisions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Does_an_HVAC_System_Last\"><\/span>How Long Does an HVAC System Last?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The average lifespan of HVAC equipment spans from 10 to 15 years. However, it is important to note that as your system ages, its efficiency declines and performance deteriorates. Consequently, after approximately a decade, it is advisable to begin considering a replacement. Even in the absence of significant issues, upgrading to a modern HVAC system can lead to energy savings due to their enhanced efficiency. Additionally, these systems typically come with 10-year warranties, alleviating concerns about repair or replacement in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ask-an-hvac-technician-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Contact a St. Louis HVAC Technician\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-13884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ask-an-hvac-technician-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ask-an-hvac-technician-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Often_Should_I_Replace_My_Air_Filters\"><\/span>How Often Should I Replace My Air Filters?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The frequency at which you should change your filter varies based on several factors. For homeowners who have pets, it is recommended to replace filters every 1-3 months. If your pets shed excessively or generate more dander, it is advisable to change your filter more frequently. Similarly, if your family members have allergies, you should consider changing your AC filters every 1-3 months, taking into account the seasonal variations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/summer-hvac-maintenance-tips\/\">Summer HVAC maintenance<\/a> from Galmiche and Sons includes filter changes, lubrication of moving parts, cleaning of AC coils, and other tasks that prepare your unit to work efficiently during the summer.
