  • Should I repair or replace my existing system?

    As a rule of thumb, our team at Springfield Heating & Air Conditioning recommends replacing your existing HVAC system when repairs cost 30% of a new purchase or when utility bills have increased 50% as a result of older, less efficient systems using more, higher-priced electricity.

  • How much can I save with new equipment?

    According to our team, air conditioning and heating equipment consume about 44% of a home’s energy bill. We've seen that today’s ENERGY STAR-qualified HVAC systems are as much as 60% more efficient than 10-year-old equipment.

  • Is installing a central HVAC system really necessary?

    In new homes or remodels, we believe a central HVAC system is the best solution for overall comfort and superior indoor air quality and humidity control.

  • What is the best thermostat to use with my system?

    Look for a programmable thermostat for accurate, reliable, and energy-saving performance. For added savings and convenience, our residential communicating control with wi-fi support HVAC system works with mobile devices, so you can easily program it wherever you are.

  • How can I be sure I’m selecting the right contractor?

    According to WebFX, the global HVAC market will grow to $296.92 billion by 2028. In such a large industry, it's essential to choose your contractor carefully. Seek out an HVAC contractor who is associated with a recognized brand. If they are backed by the product and training resources of a major manufacturer, you will feel confident that you’re getting the home comfort system that best meets your needs.

  • How do I select the right heating/cooling system?

    Get solid advice from an expert. The right contractor can perform a load calculation or an energy analysis to determine your operating costs. After getting to know your needs, he can customize an HVAC system just for you.

  • If I have an existing system, can any of the components be reused?

    Every HVAC system is different. After a thorough inspection of your electrical system, ductwork, and other components, your contractor will provide a rundown of what you need to replace and what you can keep.

  • How complicated is a new system installation?

    That depends on the house and the system. While air conditioners and gas furnaces require different components, the common denominator is ductwork, which must be properly sized and zoned for proper system performance. Your HVAC contractor can evaluate your existing setup and tell you how simple your installation will be.

  • What does the air handler do for my system?

    An air handler circulates conditioned air throughout your home. You can combine it with accessories to filter, humidity, or dehumidify the air stream as needed. If you have more HVAC questions, contact us today!

  • What can I do to improve indoor air quality?

    In the experience of our HVAC experts, indoor air can be from five to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. Adding humidifiers, dehumidifiers, ventilation systems, UV lights, and air filter technologies can dramatically improve your indoor air quality.
