A heating and cooling business specializes in installing, maintaining, repairing, and replacing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in residential and commercial properties to achieve efficient climate control of the property for the comfort and health of its occupants. 

Regular furnace maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency. This includes cleaning or replacing filters, inspecting and lubricating moving parts, checking for gas leaks, and performing system diagnostics.

The fan mode you select for your AC depends on your comfort needs. The "Auto" mode allows the system to cycle on and off as needed to maintain the desired temperature, while the "On" mode keeps the fan running continuously, providing better air circulation.

Several factors could be at play if your air conditioner isn't cooling properly. Check for a dirty or clogged filter, ensure all vents are open and unobstructed, and verify that the thermostat settings are correct. If the issue persists, contact McIntosh Heating & Cooling so we can send our professional technicians out for a thorough diagnosis and repair.

The lifespan of an AC system can vary based on usage, maintenance, and quality.  On average, a central air conditioning unit will last between 12 and 15 years. If the system is well-maintained, it can last up to 20 years if it receives regular check-ups, cleaning, and timely replacement of worn-out parts.

HVAC maintenance involves regular inspections of refrigerant lines, filters, and other components, as well as cleaning and adjustments to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and longevity of your heating and cooling systems.

Furnace repair is essential to maintain efficient heating, prevent breakdowns, and ensure comfort during colder months. If you delay addressing an issue with your furnace, a furnace repair can evolve into a more timely and expensive furnace replacement.

Air conditioning extracts heat from indoor air and transfers it outside, providing a cool and comfortable indoor environment during hot summer days.
