How Do I Know If My Unit Is Under Warranty?

You'll want to start by finding out when your furnace or heat pump was produced. There's usually a visible production label on the machine—the placement of it varies by brand and model. Once you have that, look up the manufacturer's warranty and see if yours falls within eligible dates. Note that some HVAC companies offer their own no-lemon and installation guarantees that go beyond what the factory offers.

How Long Will My AC Unit Last?

While the lifespan of a new AC unit varies based on make and model, most will last between 10 and 15 years. Some systems, however, can last over 20 years if properly maintained. A lot of this, however, depends on how much you use your air conditioner. That doesn’t mean, however, that you should wait for it to break. Old units are often inefficient and expensive to repair. Being proactive about AC replacement is a great way to save money on your utility bills.

What Should Check Prior to Calling?

Before contacting India Heating, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration for repair in the Aurora area, go through the basics. Make sure you don’t have a dead thermostat or a tripped breaker. Then, put in a new air filter and make sure you have the system set correctly. If none of these things are to blame, reach out to us for a diagnostics check.

How Often Should I Check My Air Filters?

You'd be amazed how many HVAC problems are caused by someone forgetting to change their air filter. If you use a 1-inch disposable filter, we suggest replacing those monthly. For people with a 4-inch system, two changes a year is often enough.

When Should I Have My Furnace Serviced?

In the Aurora area, we recommend getting your HVAC equipment serviced before the start of each season. In other words, AC maintenance should be done at the beginning of spring while furnace tune-ups are best done in the fall.

What Are EERs and BTUs?

You might hear our HVAC technician use these acronyms and not know what they mean. A BTU—a British Thermal Unit—is a measurement of heat. An Energy Efficiency Resource Standard (EERS), meanwhile, is a guideline used to represent the energy efficiency of an HVAC system.
