FAQ's | UMC Heating and Air Refrigeration

How often should I service my HVAC system?

We recommend that you perform maintenance on your system twice a year to keep your system up and running properly and that you're getting the most out of your HVAC/Heating Unit.


What is the best HVAC system for my Home/Business?

The only way to accurately assess what system is best for your needs, you will need to schedule an appointment with our technicians. Please call us at 818-246-2636 and we will come out for a consultation and let you know exactly what system is best for your home/business


How do I know that my A/C or Heater needs to be replaced?

If you need constant repairs, or if your system isn't cooling/heating effectively or as efficiently as it did before, you likely need a new system or need to repair your current system.


How can I lower my energy costs?

Some ways you can lower your energy costs are as follows:

Use a ceiling fan and minimize using your air conditioning when you can

Unplug appliances when they're not being used as even if they're off they can still use power

Make sure your windows are sealed so that they don't put unnecessary strain on your HVAC system

Install a smart/programmable thermostat to optimize your air conditioner usage

Switch to more energy-efficient light bulbs


What kind of filter do I need for my HVAC system?

Again, this will vary depending on your system and your home, so please reach out to us and we will be able to give you an answer based on our consultation.
