Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

We advise scheduling a maintenance appointment twice a year, once for heating and once for cooling, to maintain the peak performance of your HVAC system. This enables the technician from Prime Genius Heating, Air & Appliances to examine your filters, coils, wiring, housing, motor, and other components to ensure your system is operating at its peak performance.

No need to worry! Whether you encounter an issue at 3 in the morning or on a holiday like the 4th of July, our HVAC service experts are available to restore your system. Just give us a call at 916-400-0442.

Then, we can recommend the best-suited system for you and ensure a prompt installation.

There are several ways to reduce energy consumption, such as:

• Installing a programmable thermostat to optimize heating and cooling when you’re away.
• Replacing incandescent bulbs with energy-efficient options like CFLs or LEDs.
• Using ceiling fans to circulate air instead of relying solely on air conditioning.
• Unplugging appliances when not in use to prevent phantom power usage.
• Ensuring windows and doors are properly sealed to minimize air leakage and ease the workload on your HVAC system.

If your HVAC system requires frequent repairs, is 15 years or older, or struggles to maintain your desired indoor temperature, we recommend considering a replacement. As HVAC systems age, their efficiency decreases, potentially leading to higher operating costs.

HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. It refers to the systems used for moving air between indoor and outdoor areas, along with heating and cooling both residential and commercial buildings.

It’s recommended to replace your air filters every 1 to 3 months, depending on the type of filter and the level of contaminants in your home. Regular replacement helps maintain efficient system performance and indoor air quality.

Strange noises from your HVAC system can indicate various issues, such as loose components, a failing motor, or debris in the system. It’s best to call a professional to diagnose and fix the problem.

A heat pump can both heat and cool your home by transferring heat between the indoors and outdoors. An air conditioner, on the other hand, only cools your home by removing heat from the indoors and releasing it outside.

Most HVAC systems last between 10 to 15 years, but with proper maintenance, some can last 20 years or more. Regular service and timely repairs can help extend the lifespan of your system.

A programmable thermostat allows you to set temperature schedules for different times of the day, reducing energy usage when you’re not home or asleep. This helps save on energy bills and ensures comfort when you need it.

Closing vents in unused rooms can actually reduce your system’s efficiency and cause it to work harder, leading to potential damage. It’s better to keep vents open and ensure proper airflow throughout your home.
