5 Signs You Need HVAC Repair

Here are five signs that indicate you may need HVAC repair:

• Unusual Noises: If you hear banging, hissing, or squealing sounds coming from your HVAC system, it could signal a mechanical issue that requires attention.
• Inconsistent Temperatures: If some rooms are too hot or too cold compared to others, it may indicate problems with airflow, ductwork, or thermostat settings.
• Increased Energy Bills: A sudden spike in your energy bills without any changes in usage could suggest your HVAC system is working harder than it should, often due to inefficiencies or malfunctions.
• Poor Air Quality: If you notice increased dust, humidity, or an unusual smell coming from your vents, it might indicate a need for repair or maintenance to improve air quality.
• Frequent Cycling: If your HVAC system turns on and off more frequently than normal, it may be short-cycling due to issues like a faulty thermostat or dirty filters, which can lead to larger problems if not addressed.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to contact our professionals at Legacy One Heating for an assessment!

Types of Air Conditioners

Deciding on a new air conditioner can be challenging, but our specialists are ready to help. Depending on the layout of a home and the household’s unique needs, residents may benefit from a large ductwork system or a more compact unit.

Our experts can explain the distinctions between AC options like: 

• Central air conditioners – One of the most popular types around, this AC is installed in a central location and uses ductwork to distribute cool air throughout a home or building effectively.
• Window air conditioners – These AC models are very compact because they are installed in a window or a wall opening. They typically cool one room or area and are relatively easy to install.
• Split air conditioners – This kind of air conditioner comprises two units - one for the outdoors and the other for the indoors. The outdoor unit includes the compressor and condenser, while the indoor unit comprises the evaporator and air handler, making it possible to cool multiple rooms simultaneously.

The Benefits of Ductless Mini Splits

While there are plenty of HVAC systems to choose from, ductless mini-splits certainly have several benefits over other models. First, they are highly efficient and don't experience the same energy loss as traditional ducted systems. Because of their smaller size, they offer greater flexibility in placement, as they can be installed in areas where ductwork is difficult or even impossible to install. Additionally, because they can cool individual zones separately, they provide more precise temperature control to help reduce energy waste.
