Should you get maintenance on your HVAC System

Schedule Heating and Cooling Maintenance

The Neese Jones team strongly encourages our clients to adhere to an HVAC maintenance schedule. By having semi-annual maintenance performed on your system, you can make it last much longer. You can also make sure your system is in good shape ahead of the winter and summer months.

There are several reasons why we suggest HVAC maintenance, but some are certainly worth highlighting here. We’ve put together this list of the biggest reasons why you should have your HVAC system routinely serviced.

Benefits of Routine HVAC Maintenance

  • Guaranteed Comfort. If your HVAC system isn’t properly maintained, it will have a hard keeping your home’s temperatures and humidity right where you want it. When your system is properly serviced, it’ll heat/cool your home better. This means you and your family will enjoy year-round comfort at home.
  • Improved Air Quality. Routine HVAC maintenance can also help you breathe better. During a maintenance appointment, your tech will examine and clean/replace the air filter. They will also check to see if there are any issues with the filter compartment. These checks and tasks will make sure your system filters out dirt, dust, and allergens before they enter your home.
  • Safety First. When a system isn’t properly maintained, it can become hazardous to operate. During your maintenance appointment, we’ll perform the checks and tasks necessary to keep you and your family safe.
  • Money Savings. Having your system routinely serviced can save you money in three primary ways:
    • Longer Lifespan. Well-serviced systems undergo less wear and tear, meaning they’ll last longer.
    • Fewer Major Repairs. We’ll look for and fix issues while they’re still small. When we can catch problems early, we can save you money on costly repairs.
    • Lower Your Bills. Healthy HVAC systems are also much more energy efficient. This, in turn, will lower your energy bills. During your appointment, we will:
      • Lubricate all moving parts
      • Test the system’s airflow
      • Examine your ductwork
      • Clean or change the air filter
      • Tighten all loose connections
      • Test your thermostat’s calibration
      • Test your system’s controls

Should you get HEPA Air-Filters for your Home

HEPA Filters – A Sensible Solution to Indoor Air Quality Issues

Much like outdoor pollution, indoor pollution can damage your health. Depending on your individual situation, the air inside your home can actually be worse than the air outside. Some of the worst indoor pollutants include smoke, mold spores, pollen, cleaning solutions and also animal dander. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) even includes indoor air pollution on their list of the Top-5 environment-related health risks. As a homeowner, you can resolve most indoor air quality issues by installing an air filter. Neese Jones highly recommends installing a HEPA filter. These high-quality filters are capable of filtering both large and also microscopic particles and they’re a sensible solution to IAQ issues.

Before Purchasing a HEPA Filter for Your Home

  • Check the Size. HVAC systems require specific air filters and it’s vitally important that you purchase the correct size. If it doesn’t fit properly, it won’t be able to filter all the air before it enters your home.
  • Check the Quality. Did you know HEPA air filters are made up of three parts that balance each other to function correctly? Most filters are unbalanced. This makes it impossible for them to capture pollutants before they enter your home. Give Neese Jones a call. We can provide some suggestions and also help you steer clear of low-quality filters.
  • Check Your HVAC. If your ducts leak or your filter slot isn’t sealed properly, they can also let unfiltered air into your home. If you’re ready to address your home’s indoor air quality, give us a call. We can inspect your air filter slot and ducts and ensure they are aren’t letting unfiltered air in.

The Neese Jones’ team is here to help with all your IAQ needs. We can help you select the right HEPA air filter for your system and provide information on other IAQ solutions. Contact Neese Jones today to get started.

Do you Need an HVAC System Replacement?

Atlanta Heating and Cooling Replacements

Here in the Atlanta metro area, we know it’s important to keep our HVAC systems fully operational all-year-long. They keep us cool and dry throughout the summer and they keep the cold at bay throughout the winter. We also know that, unfortunately, these complex systems don’t last forever. At some point in the future, you’ll need to replace your heating and air system. Although you may not know when to replace your system, your friends at Neese Jones can help. If any of these symptoms ring a bell, you should prepare to replace your HVAC system.

When to Replace Your HVAC System

  1. Persistent Issues – If it seems like your system is always breaking down, you should consider replacing it. As heating and cooling systems age, they will need repairs much more often.
  2. Over 10 Years Old – If your HVAC system is 10 years old, or older, you need to prepare to replace it. Systems don’t last more than 15-20 years, and it’ll require more costly repairs as it ages.
  3. Major System Failures – If your HVAC has a major system failure, like a faulty motor or compressor – consider replacing it. It is often more cost-effective to replace an HVAC system than to repair major system failures.
  4. Suddenly Very Noisy –If your system makes loud noises (knocking, banging grinding, etc.), contact Neese Jones right away. Sounds like this can point to major issues with your heating and cooling system. We can help you decide if repairing or replacing your unit is best for you.
  5. Always Running – Your AC and heater shouldn’t run constantly. If they do, your system or unit might need to be replaced. Old, worn-out systems have to work much harder to keep your home at the ideal temperature.
  6. You’re Simply Not Comfortable – If your home’s HVAC simply can’t keep you comfortable, you might want to replace it. Almost all airflow, humidity and inconsistent temperature issues can be remedied with an HVAC upgrade.
