Frequently Asked Questions

Minor HVAC repairs cost $150-$500, while major repairs like compressor or heat exchanger replacement range from $1,000-$3,500. A full system replacement costs $5,000-$15,000 depending on system type, size, and efficiency rating.

Have your HVAC professionally serviced twice per year — once in spring before cooling season and once in fall before heating season. Replace air filters every 1-3 months depending on filter type, pets, and allergies.

Central air conditioners and heat pumps typically last 15-20 years. Gas furnaces last 15-30 years. Proper maintenance, clean filters, and adequate airflow significantly extend system lifespan.
