Hvac Tech Showing Customers His Clipboard

As more and more homeowners switch from central furnaces and air conditioners to heat pumps, we’d like to remind our customers about the dangers of an oversized heat pump.

Although heat pumps have been around for decades, they’ve surged in popularity fairly recently. As such, a lot of amateurs don’t have the skills that are needed to properly size a heat pump—especially when switching from a furnace/AC system to a heat pump. 

Because these systems provide both heating and cooling, there’s more to consider compared to the sizing of separate systems. Let’s go over why heat pumps need to be so accurately sized and the cons of an oversized heat pump.

AC Filter

Most homeowners know that their HVAC system has an air filter that needs to be changed on a regular basis. However, what most homeowners don’t know is the reason why they’re supposed to change it.

The air filter’s primary job is to keep dirt, dust, and debris out of the interior of your HVAC system. Let’s go over the big job that a tiny air filter performs on a daily basis and why it’s so important.
