Frequently Asked Questions |
Q: Is a bigger furnace or air conditioner better?
A: No it is not. Bigger is not always better in the HVAC
industry. A larger air conditioner uses more electricity and
costs more to purchase, install and upkeep. A properly sized
unit will provide the most efficient energy use and most comfort
in your home. When buying a home comfort system, selecting the
right size is crucial. For instance, an air conditioner that is
too large will cool your home quickly but you still may not feel
comfortable. It will satisfy the thermostat before it can remove
sufficient moisture from the air. However, a system that is too
small just cannot get the job done. As Trane Comfort
Specialists, we can help you determine the right size system for
your home comfort needs.
Q: How Often should I change my filters?
A: Check filters every two months and replace as needed.
Q: I would like to upgrade to a new high efficiency furnace
or air conditioner. Do you offer financing?
A: Yes we offer financing for all types of situations call
Tassio Temperature Control to ask about your specific needs.
Q: I like to keep my house very cool in the summer would a
new unit help with costs?
A: If you have a 15 year old unit it could be as little as 6
SEER. Most people set their thermostat around 78 degrees in the
summer to save costs and with a new Trane high efficiency air
conditioner you could save as much as $600 per summer on a
typical 4 ton unit while having your thermostat set a few
degrees colder.
Q: What are the benefits of a programmable thermostat?
A: A Programmable thermostat is programmed for when you leave
your house and then return home. The thermostat turns of the
furnace during the hours you are not home so that energy is not
used to keep the house warm while you are at work. The
thermostat will then turn back on 30 minutes before you come
home so your house is at the perfect temperature when you are
home. These thermostats save up to 15% on your energy bills
during the winter and 10% in the summer.
Q: Why are furnaces and air conditioners so noisy?
A: They are not noisy if you install new Trane components in
your system. Old units were not built with the quality materials
that are used today. Trane also installs sound insulators on the
compressor as well as a weather guard top that not only reduces
noise but increases the life of the unit by not letting debris
get into the system.
Q: When I am on vacation should I turn off my furnace to save
energy?
A: Common settings is 85 degrees in the summer if you have air
conditioning and 60 in the winter if you will be gone for a
couple of days. These settings will keep most plants alive and
will keep pipes from freezing and bursting in the winter.
Q: Do I run any risk by accepting the lowest bid?
A: YES! If a bid comes in 5-10% lower than other companies it is
because they are using inferior products, do not do a quality
installation or are leaving something out of their bid. Many
companies will not pay for permits or schedule the inspector to
come to your house. Tassio Temp does all the work for you, you
just need to relax and enjoy the comfort and energy efficiency
of your new system.
