Frequently Asked Questions
What is HVAC?
HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. These systems control your building’s temperature and airflow. Pope’s Air & Plumbing is pleased to offer maintenance, repairs, and installations for all your HVAC needs.
Why is it important to have regular maintenance on my home comfort system?
Just like new cars need oil changes and tires aired up, your HVAC system requires maintenance for optimal performance. Our qualified technicians offer regular inspections and maintenance services.
Do I need a new HVAC system?
Not necessarily! At Pope’s Air & Plumbing, we prioritize repairing and finding solutions before suggesting a replacement of your system. Your HVAC system might still have several years of life with the proper attention and care.
What is Indoor Air Quality?
Indoor Air Quality mainly has to do with the amount of pollutants inside your home or building, as well as humidity and ventilation levels. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has found that concentrations of pollutants can be up to 100 times higher indoors than outdoors. The American Lung Association estimates that most people spend 90% of their time indoors, so clean indoor air is very important.
What kind of heating/cooling system should I have?
From mini splits to heat pumps, there is a large variety of heating and cooling systems. Our expert team can help you understand the differences between each system, so you can decide on the right one for your home.
How does an air conditioner work?
An air conditioner seems as if it cools your home’s air, but it actually makes your home less warm by removing heat from the indoor air and transferring that heat to the outdoor air. Heat is extracted from the home by passing indoor air across a refrigerant coil in the indoor unit. Refrigerant lines then carry the heat to the outdoor unit, where it is released into the outside air. The cooling cycle continues until the indoor temperature reaches the thermostat setting.
How long do air conditioners last?
Depending on maintenance and usage, most central air conditioners can last 15 to 20 years. Our team can give you advice on how to make your air conditioner run more efficient and last longer.
When should I call a professional plumber?
For complex plumbing issues and installations, we suggest calling a professional. Getting the job done right the first time saves time, money, stress, and the potential of later, more extensive repairs. Pope’s Air & Plumbing is here to service all your plumbing needs!
