Questions
What does HVAC stand for?
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning: the furnace, heat pump, boiler, air conditioner, ducts and controls that keep a home comfortable.
How often should the air filter be changed?
Many 1-inch filters need changing every 1 to 3 months. Thicker media filters last longer. Check the filter label.
Is a carbon monoxide alarm important with fuel-burning heat?
Yes. Homes with gas, oil or propane heating should have working CO alarms near sleeping areas.
