Air Purification with UV-C Light

Airborne pollutants like viruses, bacteria and mold are found in most homes. Modern construction standards and insulation do a great job sealing entire homes to improve heating and cooling efficiency. The downside of a well-sealed home is that moisture is prevented from escaping, which allows for the growth of harmful germs that cause a variety of illnesses.

Portable air purification devices help, but if you’re serious about removing harmful pollutants from your home, you need a whole home system that delivers purified air through your central heating and air conditioning system. You need to destroy bacteria and viruses on surfaces and in the air, making your whole home a safe haven for the health of you and your family.

HEPA air filters are great and it is highly recommended that you use them. They play an important role in removing larger dust and mold particles. However, air filters alone will not remove the smaller and more dangerous pollutants. There are other whole home technologies, but UV-C light, properly located in your central air distribution system, has clearly emerged as the best option for whole home air purification systems. Among UV-C systems, REME HALO is the leader for whole home air purification.

What Does REME HALO Do?

REME HALO uses patented REME Cell technology with UV-C light to create low-level, airborne hydrogen peroxide throughout an air-conditioned space. Not only does it kill bacteria and viruses, it reduces allergens, mold, microbials, smoke, odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). REME HALO utilizes patented and third-party tested and validated technology to eliminate 99.9% of COVID-19 in a simulated home environment.

The benefits of the REME HALO whole home air purification system go beyond the important work of killing bacteria and viruses. The tight construction prevents outside air from circulating in your home. Inside air can be up to five times more polluted than outside air. Whole home air purification from Semper Fi is a breath of fresh air in your entire home.

How Does REME HALO Work?

REME HALO is installed in the supply plenum of your home HVAC system. It uses reflective electromagnetic energy to produce hydrogen peroxide plasma that passes through your air handler and circulates through your whole house. Hydrogen peroxide is naturally occurring in the atmosphere. It is part of the natural process of purifying the clean outdoor air that we breathe. The hydrogen peroxide produced by REME HALO continues to eliminate pollutants in your home even when the blower on your HVAC system is not blowing.

REME HALO is not a filtration system that works to capture the pollutants that are circulating in your home air. It kills and eliminates the pollutants before they circulate. Also, it works with your filtration system by causing particle pollutants to solidify and stick together, making them larger and easier for your filter to catch. Don’t forget to change your filter often.

REME HALO can be installed quickly by the professionals at Semper Fi. It comes with a five-year warranty. It is recommended that the cell be replaced every two years. Call the professional HVAC technicians at Semper Fi today to learn more about how whole home air purification can reduce the pollutants in the air circulating in your home. It’s the new normal; air purification will help keep your family healthy and safe.

Emergency Heating & Air Conditioning Repair Service

Emergency Heating & Air Conditioning Repair in the Phoenix East Valley

When the weather is at extremes, heating and cooling systems are working their hardest. When they are working their hardest, that’s when they tend to break down. They’ve also been known to break down on the day guests are due to arrive, the day you are leaving for vacation, and any other day you have too much going on. The correlation between an HVAC breakdown and you not having time to deal with one more crisis has not been independently verified. That’s why it’s called an emergency.

If you have a heating or air conditioning emergency, the technicians at Semper Fi are available seven days per week. If it is an emergency to you, it is an emergency to us.

Clearly, some situations call for emergency service. If your safety is at risk, that is an emergency. If your air conditioner quits on a scorching hot day, that is an emergency. Other situations are not that clear-cut. When the temperature is mild, a broken air conditioner or nonfunctional furnace is more of an inconvenience than an emergency. But that same inconvenience can be an emergency if you have young children, older residents, or health-compromising conditions.

Why Do Heating & Air Conditioning Systems Break Down?

No one actually wants to call for emergency service. It is always better for systems to work as they should and be there when needed. There are steps that can be taken to prevent breakdowns.

Preventive maintenance is number one on the list of steps to take to prevent system breakdowns requiring emergency services. For the most part, we don’t think of HVAC systems as needing regular maintenance. Alternately, it is understood that vehicles need proper service to keep them running. We don’t drive our vehicles until they break down on the side of the road. But some homeowners who are careful to follow maintenance schedules for their cars and trucks will go for years without getting their HVAC system serviced. Proper HVAC service involves more than just changing the filter every few months. Contact Semper Fi to arrange for your HVAC system to get a tune-up. Better yet, sign up for a preventive maintenance plan to get regular service. On each tune-up or maintenance visit, your Semper Fi technician will evaluate your entire system and identify components your technician recommends be replaced preventively or that cold fail in the next 12 months. Semper Fi offers an additional 10% discount for preventive repairs performed on a maintenance visit.

Your HVAC service technician at Semper Fi is a trained and certified professional. Do-it-yourself HVAC maintenance is generally not a good idea. Specialized tools and skills are required. It is always better to call a pro for HVAC. Improper or incomplete service can actually harm your systems and cause breakdowns requiring emergency service at the most inopportune times.

If your heating and cooling system is more than 10 years old, it is more likely to break down than a newer and more efficient system. You may be paying for preventive maintenance and regular tune-ups but still need frequent repairs and emergency service. You may be at the point where you need to consider replacing your system with a new high-efficiency system and say goodbye to expensive repairs and hello to trouble-free operations. But don’t ignore preventive maintenance on a new system. Talk to the pros at Semper Fi for help in selecting the right HVAC system for you.

HVAC Repair for Mesa AZ

One thing is certain about your Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) system; at some time in the first 10 years of its life it will need repairs. Early on the repairs are likely to be minor issues, but around 10-15 years and beyond the needed repairs may become more serious and more expensive. HVAC systems are expensive; you can’t buy a new system every time a control switch fails or an electrical contact comes loose. There are no brands of HVAC systems that do not need repairs from time to time.

The professional technicians at Semper Fi have the training and experience to identify problems early and repair them before they become bigger problems. Semper Fi offers a preventative maintenance program for only $10 per month that is highly recommended to keep your HVAC system at peak performance. Without ongoing preventative maintenance, your system may need to be replaced sooner.

There are some common HVAC repair issues that you can check before calling a service technician.

If your system won’t turn on, check your thermostat. Is it set lower than the room temperature? If you have a programmable thermostat, make sure it is not on vacation mode. Check the power. Is a breaker flipped off? Check your air filter. If your filter is seriously dirty, it may be preventing proper air flow.
Is your system iced up? Turn it off. With the system powered down, wait 24 hours for the coils to thaw, then turn it all back on again. If it ices up again, call Semper Fi for service.
If no cold air is coming out of the registers, check the air filter to make sure it is not clogged. If you can see your ducts, check to make sure they are properly connected.
One of the best things you can do for your heating and cooling system is to get routine tune-ups. Don’t wait until you have serious system problems before calling for repair. Proper tune-ups from the technicians at Semper Fi will keep your system running trouble-free, and it will continue to operate efficiently for years before needing to be replaced.

Despite all efforts to prevent equipment failure, there will come a day when you need to call for HVAC repairs. You may hear a screeching noise from the outdoor compressor unit that tells you repairs are needed. You may see ice forming on the compressor unit. The circulation fan may be running and blowing air, but it is not cold air in the summer or warm air in the winter.

When an easy fix doesn’t work, then it is time to call an HVAC repair service technician at Semper Fi. If your system has received regular tune-ups and preventative maintenance, issues will likely be identified early before they become major HVAC repair problems. We provide 24-hour emergency service and you should call if you have no heat on a cold night or no cooling on a hot day.

Top HVAC and Tips to Reduce Your Utility Bills

Written by Semper Fi on September 13, 2021. Posted in Blog, Featured, Reduce Utility Bills. No Comments on Top HVAC and Tips to Reduce Your Utility Bills

Heating and cooling are major contributors to energy consumption. Keeping your home at a comfortable temperature is expensive.

Your air conditioner has to run for an extended period of time to bring the indoor temperature of your home from the outside temperature to the temperature you set on your thermostat. If your house is empty during the day, you can save energy by increasing the temperature on the thermostat so that the system does not run as often. If you turn your system off entirely during the day and then at 5:00PM turn the system on and set the temperature in the low 70s, your system may take several hours to cool to that temperature if the outside air is in the triple digits (100 degrees +). In this situation your system may actually run for a longer total amount of time as in the evening the system will run for several hours continuously as it tries to achieve the desired indoor temperature. When a system is set to a normal indoor temperature in the 70s, the system will run for a period of minutes until the thermostat is satisfied and then turn off for several minutes such that the system is not running continuously. Programmable thermostats have the ability to be adjusted to cool less during the day and more at day’s end as well as keeping the temperature at the same level on weekends when someone is home all day.
To reduce energy usage, think optimal room temperature, not most comfortable. 70 to 72 may seem like the best temp year-round. But 67 in winter and 75 in summer will reduce your utility bill. Better yet, can you be comfortable with 65 or 66 in winter and 76 to 78 in summer?
If you love to get the AC working on the first warm day in spring, your utility bill is going to remind you that it wasn’t worth the cost. Tolerate and even enjoy the warm or cool weather at the change of seasons and enjoy the lower utility bills.
If your AC or furnace is 10 years old or more, you could save money by replacing it with a newer, more cost-efficient unit. Chances are that if your system is old, you have been dealing with expensive repairs and rising energy bills for years. Nearly all new systems are more efficient than they were 10 years ago. Getting your system replaced before it completely breaks down is a good move and an immediate energy savings. Utility companies such as SRP also offer rebates for purchasing a new, high efficiency A/C system.
Ductless mini-splits for heating and cooling also offer substantial saving opportunities. Heating or cooling the entire house more than necessary to keep one room only marginally warmer or cooler is expensive. Put a mini-split in the room(s) that need a little extra and save on utilities. Depending on your house size, it is possibly even better to replace your old central air system with ductless mini-splits. Get the versatility of heating and cooling some rooms more than others at different times and reduce your utility bill in the process.
Old and leaky duct systems can cause up to $0.30 of every $1.00 of your cooling or heating bill to be wasted. Consider a duct-sealing process like Aeroseal to ensure most of your cooling or heating dollars make their way into the living spaces of your home. Learn more at www.aeroseal.com or call Semper Fi Heating and Cooling today to schedule a free estimate.
Additionally, inadequate attic insulation can also wreak havoc on your utility bill. Given that heating and cooling costs are responsible for 50 to 70% of the energy bill in the typical American home, call Semper Fi for a free estimate on blown-in attic insulation and start realizing energy savings today!

Ductless Air Conditioning is the Right Solution for Arizona

Written by Semper Fi on September 13, 2021. Posted in Blog, Ductless Solution, Featured, Uncategorized. No Comments on Ductless Air Conditioning is the Right Solution for Arizona

If your heating and air conditioning system is not up to the task of cooling or heating your entire home, going ductless may be a good option for you. Ductless systems have a lot in common with central air conditioning systems. There is a condenser outside and an air handling unit inside. What they do not have in common is air ducts. Ductless systems have both cooling AND heating capability so can be used in both the Summer and Winter and are conveniently operated with a wireless handheld remote. Many units also can be operated with your phone via a special app that you can download on iPhone or Android devices.

A ductless system consists of a wall- or ceiling-mounted indoor unit combined with an outside compressor. Often ductless systems are used where a window unit and baseboard heater might otherwise be used. Unlike window units, ductless systems do not block out a window; they are less visible and not as loud. Ductless systems require only a small hole to be drilled into a wall.

Ductless systems are a great choice for new additions, for rooms that do not get enough cooling or heat, for adding heat and air to a garage, for older homes that do not have a duct system, and for new construction. Ductless systems are also 30-40% more efficient than central air conditioning systems

Single Split vs. Multi-Split Ductless

With multiple independent air handlers and thermostats in your home, squabbles over temperature settings will be a thing of the past. Beyond the obvious benefit of independent controls, you will have the versatility to spend less for utilities on rooms seldom used. When you are cooking and the kitchen heats up, you can cool down without cooling the entire house.

Improved Efficiency and Life Expectancy

In most homes, about 30% of air is lost through leaky ducts. There is no air loss with ductless. Energy-efficient ductless systems typically reduce utility costs up to 60% compared to central air systems. They pay for themselves over time. Most central air systems have a 12-to-15-year life expectancy. You should expect that a ductless system will provide you with 20 or more years of dependable service. Additionally, all ductless systems have “inverter” compressors which simply means that they adjust their power output from about 40% to 100% based on the cooling or heating need. For example, in a garage application in the Summer if the unit is initially turned on it will operate at 100% capacity to cool the room to the desired temperature then reduce output to 40% to “hold” the that room temperature. Because the unit ramps power output down it uses less electricity. This makes ductless units more efficient than most central air conditioning systems because most central air conditioning systems only have single-stage compressors that are either on at 100% output or off.

Ductless Air Conditioning Prices

Ductless systems are more expensive than window air conditioners. If cost is your only consideration, ductless is not for you. If you factor in that the increased efficiency will pay off with lower utility costs and that a ductless system will last many years longer than a window unit, then the ductless system starts to look better. If you have up to four different rooms that need extra heating and cooling, you can get all four with one outside ductless compressor and four different indoor units. More area coverage in addition to the already-mentioned benefits make ductless even more attractive. For new homes, ductless is usually more expensive than central air systems but less expensive than geothermal. The space savings of eliminating ducts and the efficiency of eliminating leaky ductwork make ductless a serious candidate for a new home.

Whether you need supplemental heating and cooling or a complete new system, ductless may be your best choice. Installation is quicker and simpler than conventional central air with installation taking one day or less. For professional installation and AC repair in Phoenix, Arizona, Semper Fi Heating and Cooling has the solution for you.

Do Your Air Ducts Need to be Cleaned?

Written by Semper Fi on September 13, 2021. Posted in Air Duct Cleaning, Blog, Featured. No Comments on Do Your Air Ducts Need to be Cleaned?

The research has been available for some time now. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has said that indoor air is one of the top five pollutants. Other research tells us that indoor air is 40 times more polluted than outdoor air.

Does that mean that you should clean your air duct system weekly or monthly? No, it doesn’t mean that you need to get your ducts cleaned as often as you do your laundry or vacuum your floors, however an annual air duct cleaning can make a huge difference in air quality.

For most people, breathing in a little dust is not a serious health hazard. But there are limits. If your ducts go for years without being cleaned, you may experience dust buildup on your registers and your indoor air may become hazardous to breathe.

Adding to the hazardous concern is that your home air circulates over and over. The air you breathe comes out of your heating/cooling registers and goes back into your ductwork to be heated or cooled again. Then that same air gets sent back through your ducts to be breathed again and again.

Semper Fi Heating and Cooling has the experience and equipment to clean your ductwork and improve the quality of the home air that you breathe. Duct cleaning is a job for trained professionals. An inadequate vacuum system can release more contaminants than if you had left the ducts alone. Beware of companies that make sweeping claims about duct cleaning improving your health. Such claims cannot be verified. However, a duct cleaning done properly will significantly reduce the dirt and contaminants in your home air.

What You Should Expect from the Duct Cleaning Process

Before you start vacuuming, your system should be checked for asbestos-containing materials. Asbestos requires specialized procedures and should not be disturbed or removed except by specially trained and equipped contractors.
Only equipment that exhausts particles to the outside of the home, or through HEPA filters, should be used.
The inside of ducts should be carefully brushed in conjunction with vacuuming.

Preventing Future Buildup of Dust and Contaminants

Use high-efficiency furnace filters and change them frequently. If filters get clogged, change them even more frequently.
When your unit is serviced, requesting add-on services to clean cooling coils and your drain pan is also recommended.
Remove dirt and dust from your home regularly and use high-efficiency filters in your vacuum.

Duct cleaning will improve your indoor air quality, but cleaning is not the only problem related to ducts. By most estimates, as much as 30% of the air that goes into your ducts leaks out before being delivered to wherever the ducts lead. While getting your ducts cleaned, consider taking the next step and get them professionally sealed. You can look for leaks and slap a piece of duct tape over the gap, but that is not professionally sealing your ducts. You won’t eliminate the majority of leaks unless you have the right equipment to find the leaks and the right materials to seal them up. Duct sealing systems like Aeroseal prevent leaky ducts from costing you more money on your cooling or heating bill – as much as $0.30 of every $1.00 on your energy bill can be wasted due to leaky ducts.

What Should You Expect to Be Included with an AC Tune-Up

Written by Semper Fi on September 13, 2021. Posted in Air Conditioner Tune-Up, Blog, Featured. No Comments on What Should You Expect to Be Included with an AC Tune-Up

Regular tune-ups are an important component to keeping your air conditioner running properly and efficiently. A system that is properly maintained will have fewer problems, it will be more efficient which will reduce your utility bill, it will have fewer breakdowns that require additional service, and it will last longer before needing to be replaced. Additionally, during an AC tune-up, your service technician will review the results of the overall condition of your HVAC system and make recommendations for preventative repairs to ensure your system does not break down during triple-digit outdoor temperatures. An untimely summer breakdown could leave your days or weeks without air conditioning during the brutal Phoenix Summer heat due to local HVAC companies being backlogged on their service schedule

Most HVAC companies offer AC tune-ups, but not all tune-ups cover the same checkpoints. At Semper Fi Heating and Cooling, we set out to become an industry leader in what we include in AC tune-ups.

Included in our list of services:

Check refrigerant pressure. If refrigerant is low, the air conditioner will need to run longer to get your home to the desired temperature.
Measure refrigerant level. If the refrigerant level is low, there may be a refrigerant leak that can lead to bigger problems.
Lubricate all moving parts. Moving parts wear out; keeping them well lubed will increase the lifespan of your air conditioner.
Lubricate motors. The outside unit contains a fan motor and compressor motor; inside in the air handler there is a motor in the air circulator.
Check evaporator coils. Without the coils, no cooling occurs.
Clean condenser coils.
Confirm AC starting capabilities.
Test safety controls.
Examine thermostat controls and calibration. If your air conditioner is not cooling to the level you set the thermostat, the problem could be as simple as recalibrating the thermostat.
Measure for proper air flow. The air flow from all registers in all rooms should be nearly uniform.
Test the temperature difference of supply and return air. The difference between the temperatures of air going into the intake ducts and the air coming out of the registers is the amount of cooling being provided. If air is not cooled enough, the system will need to run longer to get to the desired temperature.
Monitor cooling cycle. At what temperature does the air conditioner start and how long does it take to reach the desired temperature and turn off? If the running cycle is long and the time it is not running is short, there may be other problems.
Clean and adjust blower components. The blower should be clean so it is not blowing dust through the ducts.
Measure total power consumption. Power usage above rated levels is an indication that other problems may exist.
Measure compressor amp draw. A compressor drawing more amperage than rated is an early indication of possible compressor motor problems.
Measure condenser motor amps.
Inspect contact points.
Tighten electrical connections. Connections need to be tight.
Clean relays.
Inspect electrical disconnect box.
Inspect equipment conditions and clearances.
Install clean filters. It is important that filters are not so dirty that they are restricting air flow.
Vacuum exterior drain line.
Flush exterior drain line. Drain lines get clogged, causing the water that should be draining to seep out in the wrong places, and a little thing like a drain line not flowing can cause several big problems.
Clean and vacuum drain pan.
Rinse drain pan. A clean and rinsed drain pan helps prevent mold from growing and getting into circulating air.
Measure humidity level.
Install anti-algae tablets.
Spray coils with disinfectant to help reduce the risk of viruses spreading into circulating air.
Spray disinfectant into ductwork.

Beyond these tune-up checklist items, we also carefully look over your system for any other problems. Annual tune-ups will save you money by maximizing the performance and efficiency of your AC. Dirty coils and blower wheels reduce air flow and cause motors to work harder, which causes loss of efficiency and a shorter lifespan of your equipment.

Call Semper Fi Heating and Cooling for a tune-up to increase your AC life expectancy and prevent unexpected breakdowns requiring costly repairs.

My Air Conditioner is Frozen

Written by Semper Fi on September 13, 2021. Posted in Air Conditioner Troubleshooting, Blog, Featured. No Comments on My Air Conditioner is Frozen

If there is ice on your AC unit, that is a problem. There are multiple reasons why ice forms on your AC coils, and each of them has a different solution. It is time to call the skilled HVAC technicians at Semper Fi Heating and Cooling to diagnose and fix the problem.

Symptoms of Frozen Coils

If your outside unit has obvious ice formed anywhere on it, you have frozen coils. If your AC is running but the air coming out of the registers is warm, check the outdoor unit to see if ice has formed. Frozen coils can also cause condensation to form on your inside unit. If you see water on the floor around your inside unit, check to see if you have frozen coils outside.

Causes of Frozen Coils

A dirty filter can reduce air flow through your system causing it to freeze.
Check the fan blade in the outside unit. Has it stopped turning? If the fan is not turning, air is not flowing around the coils causing them to freeze. A service technician can fix or replace the fan motor if it has failed.
Blocked condensation lines will cause the unit to freeze. Condensation collects from the air cooling process and needs a place to drain. If the drain is stopped up, the condensation can back up and start the freezing process. You probably won’t see any signs that a condensation line is clogged, but a service technician can diagnose the problem.
If your thermostat is not working properly, it could inaccurately sense the temperature and cause the system to run too long or continuously. Are you having trouble keeping your home at a steady temperature or does it get too cold? Those are signs of a thermostat problem.
The most common cause of frozen coils is a refrigerant leak. Refrigerant is a chemical that runs through the coils to absorb heat and produce cooling. If the refrigerant level is low, there is probably a leak in the line. Usually it is not as simple as adding more refrigerant. The location of the leak needs to be found and repaired before the refrigerant is replaced.

If you have a frozen air conditioning coil, the first thing to do is turn the unit off. Continuing to let it run with the problem can cause compressor failure, and that is an expensive repair. After turning your unit off, give it time to thaw out completely, then turn it back on to see if it is working. It may be working but the problem is not fixed and it will probably freeze again. Your next step is to call a professional service technician at Semper Fi to properly diagnose and repair the problem.

Preventative maintenance in the form of a routine service check by a technician will likely identify a potential coil freeze before it becomes a problem that could cause major damage.

Call the pros at Semper Fi Heating and Cooling to arrange for a planned service agreement and keep your AC running problem-free and efficiently.

AC Repair or Replace, How to Know Which

Written by Semper Fi on September 13, 2021. Posted in Air Conditioning Repair, Blog, Featured, Uncategorized. No Comments on AC Repair or Replace, How to Know Which

If you are looking for repairs to your air conditioning system, you may also be considering an AC replacement. How do you know which is right for you? There are some issues you will want to consider.

Repair Costs

How much is it going to cost to repair your system? If the cost of repairs is approaching 20% of the cost of a new system, you should give serious consideration to replacement.
It isn’t just the cost of the currently needed repair that you should consider. How many previous repairs have been needed and what did they cost? If a system needs multiple repairs to different components over a short time period it could indicate that the system is approaching the end of its useful life and replacement could be appropriate.

Age of Your System

A well-maintained system should last 10 to 20 years. As your system approaches 10 to 15 years, you should be considering a replacement.
Newer systems are generally more energy-efficient. If you have seen a significant increase in the cost of utilities, that may be an indicator that a new system is in order.
Just because your system is 10 years old doesn’t necessarily mean it’s in need of replacement. If it has been well maintained, and AC tune-ups have been made when needed, it may well provide you with a few more good years of service.
Often the outdoor unit (heat pump or condenser) will fail prior to the indoor unit (air handler or furnace) because it gets exposed to the outdoor elements.

Keeping Your Home Comfortable

Have you made additions or changes to the interior walls of your home? Your AC system may no longer be sized properly for your home.
Is your home heating and cooling uneven? Your system is not doing the job it should.
Is your AC system just not getting the job of cooling your home done properly? Is it noisy? Does it seem to run all the time? If your family is not comfortable, it is time for a change.

Current Repairs Needed

Your system has been dependable and trouble-free for many years, but now it needs major repairs. This could be the first costly repair needed but may not be the last. Do you really want to replace major parts on a system that may need more repairs soon?
There are some repairs like excessive rust and corrosion that cannot be repaired. If your system is showing signs of physical deterioration, it may be time for a replacement.
R22 refrigerant is an obsolete refrigerant that is difficult and costly to buy currently. If you have an R22 system and there is a significant leak in the system, there may not be any other option other than replacement depending on the availability and cost of replacement R22 refrigerant.

Future Plans

If you plan to stay in your home for the foreseeable future, you will need to replace your unit at some point. Replace it now and get the benefits of greater operational efficiency and the comfort of reliability.
If you plan to stay in your home for the foreseeable future, you will need to replace your unit at some point. Replace it now and get the benefits of greater operational efficiency and the comfort of reliability.
If you are planning to sell your home soon, you might make the currently needed repairs and hope for the best. Or you might choose to replace your unit and make your home more marketable. You may recover the replacement cost with a higher home selling price.

Warranty

Always check to see if your system is under warranty for any repairs that may be needed. If you do choose to replace your system, make sure you get a long-term warranty that will cover future repairs.
Warranties can be voided if the unit has not received proper maintenance. No matter how new or old your existing system or replacement is, make sure it is properly maintained by professional service technicians for a longer and more efficient life.
