Frequently Asked Questions

Industry standard for HVAC systems is 15 years, depending on maintenance, usage, and equipment quality.

We recommend 2 tune-ups per year, 1 in the spring for cooling and 1 in the fall for heating. Don't forget, with the Steinhardt Comfort Shield (www.steinhardtcomfort.com/comfort-shield)you'll receive 2 tune-ups a year with full checks!

This can have many causes. Some that are more common include dirty filters, aging equipment, blocked airflow, thermostat issues, or extreme outdoor temps. A quick check by our comfort specialists can uncover the cause!

Yes, we provide free estimates for new AC installations or system replacements. If you’re considering upgrading your air conditioning, just contact us to schedule an in-home consultation. We’ll evaluate your home’s cooling needs, answer your questions, and then give you a no-obligation quote for the recommended solution. We’re also happy to provide a free second opinion if you already have a quote from another company.

You don’t have to — we take care of that through proper engineering. Our team will perform a professional load calculation on your home to determine the correct AC size. Getting the size right is critical: an air conditioner that’s too small won’t cool well, and one that’s too large will short-cycle and waste energy. We make sure you get an AC that’s “just right” for your home’s square footage, layout, and insulation, so you stay comfortable without higher bills or humidity issues.
