Question 3

How vital is my home's indoor air?

Indoor air quality affects house air temperature, humidity, freshness, and purity. Having your home's IAQ checked on each service visit is critical for safety since bad or wet air can have long-term health consequences.

Question 4

Question 5

What is a no-duct mini-split system?

Accepted Answer

An increasingly common cooling solution for houses without central air ducts is the ductless mini-splitter. The "split" system operates without the need for ducting by drawing air in, cooling it, and then venting it back out. It consists of one large unit mounted outside and one or more smaller units mounted on a wall inside.

Question 6

Did your latest electricity bill have an unexpected surge?

Accepted Answer

A malfunctioning meter or faulty wiring may be the culprit. If your electricity prices keep rising despite your best efforts, consult a licensed electrician.

Question 7

Regarding my frozen air conditioner, what should I do?

Accepted Answer

Never run your air conditioner if it is frozen. You can turn off the breaker switch in your home, manage the AC to allow the coils to thaw, and then contact the air conditioning specialists at BC Express. We'll assist you in defrosting and drying the coils thoroughly so they may be used safely.

Question 8

Can I fix a noisy air conditioning unit myself?

Accepted Answer

If your air conditioner makes weird noises, contact our specialists for an assessment. We'll fix the noise, saving you time and trouble. DIY repairs without training could do more damage.

Question 9

When should I replace my furnace?

Accepted Answer

A furnace that is properly maintained has a lifespan of ten years. During a maintenance visit, our professionals may assess the age and maintenance history of your furnace and provide recommendations.

Question 10

Is there a distinction between gas and oil boilers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One notable distinction is that gas is directly provided to your residence whenever it is required, whereas oil boilers require you to purchase and store oil for refills. In areas without access to public gas, oil may be a more suitable alternative.

Question 11

How crucial is furnace maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Stoves and furnaces use gas, making them risky. Maintaining your furnace regularly protects your warranty and decreases fire danger.

Question 12

What is the HVAC system's life cycle?

Accepted Answer

Instead of 15–20 years like household HVAC systems, commercial HVAC systems might last 25 years or more. Avoid surprises and costs while updating your HVAC system by planning ahead.

Question 13

Why does indoor air quality matter?

Accepted Answer

Most indoor air quality issues are caused by pollution sources that release gases or particles. Indoor pollutant levels grow when ventilation is insufficient to remove interior air pollutants or bring in enough outside air to offset indoor source emissions.

Question 14

When should you replace your air conditioner?

Accepted Answer

Regular AC maintenance can tell you when repairing it is more expensive than buying a new one. With proper upkeep, you can even enjoy lower energy expenses. Thus, it's wise to arrange a tune-up and think about a new system if you're experiencing a surge in your electricity bills or your AC is no longer able to keep you comfy.

Question 15

What should I do in case of an HVAC emergency?

Accepted Answer

The following are the things that you should do immediately:

Disconnect the HVAC system
Call our helpline immediately
If you're not qualified, don't fix anything yourself—you could make the problem worse
