Quick answers
How often should I change the filter?
Every one to three months for most homes, more often with pets or allergies. A clogged filter strains the system.
What does a tune-up include?
Typically a check of burners or coils, electrical connections, refrigerant levels, safety controls and the condensate drain. Ask for a written list of what was checked.
What makes Milpitas a little different for HVAC service?
Afternoon breezes off the Bay are common. The Great Mall is one of the largest outlet malls in Northern California. Many homes sit on slab foundations. Share what you know about your home when you book.
