General Heat and Air Questions

How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?

IIt's recommended to schedule HVAC maintenance twice a year—once in the spring for your air conditioning and once in the fall for your heating system. This helps prevent breakdowns and improves energy efficiency.

What size HVAC system do I need for my home?

The right HVAC size depends on factors like square footage, insulation, and sun exposure. A professional load calculation by Mountain View Heat & Air ensures your system is correctly sized for maximum comfort and efficiency.

How can I improve my home's indoor air quality?

Installing high-quality air filters, whole-home air purifiers, and humidity control systems can help reduce allergens, dust, and mold in your home.

What should I do if my AC or heater stops working?

First, check your thermostat settings, circuit breaker, and air filter. If your system still isn’t working, contact Mountain View Heat & Air for a fast diagnosis and repair.

Chattanooga-Specific HVAC Questions

How does Chattanooga’s humidity affect my HVAC system?

High humidity makes your AC work harder to remove excess moisture, leading to higher energy costs and potential mold growth. A properly maintained AC and a dehumidifier can help balance indoor humidity levels.

Are heat pumps a good option for Chattanooga's climate?

Yes! Chattanooga’s mild winters and hot summers make heat pumps an energy-efficient choice for year-round comfort. They provide heating and cooling in one system, reducing energy costs.

What’s the best way to prepare my HVAC system for winter?

Schedule a fall tune-up, check insulation, and replace air filters to ensure your heating system runs efficiently. If your furnace is over 15 years old, consider a replacement for improved energy efficiency.

Cost & Energy Efficiency Questions

How can I lower my energy bills in summer and winter?

Regular HVAC maintenance, smart thermostats, proper insulation, and sealing air leaks can significantly lower your energy bills. Upgrading to a high-efficiency system can also reduce costs.

Are there rebates or tax credits for energy-efficient HVAC systems in Tennessee?

Yes! There are often utility rebates and federal tax credits available for installing energy-efficient heat pumps, furnaces, and AC units. Contact us for the latest savings opportunities.

Should I repair or replace my HVAC system?

If your system is over 10-15 years old, frequently needs repairs, or isn’t heating/cooling effectively, replacement may be more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. Our experts can assess your system and recommend the best option.

Smart Thermostat & Technology Questions

Are smart thermostats worth it in Chattanooga?

Absolutely! Smart thermostats like Nest or Ecobee adjust to your schedule and Chattanooga’s fluctuating weather, helping you save on energy bills while keeping your home comfortable.

Can I control my HVAC system remotely?

Yes! With a Wi-Fi-enabled smart thermostat, you can adjust your home’s temperature from anywhere using a smartphone app.
