Cooling

No, a bigger HVAC system is not necessarily better. In fact, an oversized HVAC system can lead to problems like short cycling, uneven cooling, higher energy bills, and reduced dehumidification. It's crucial to have an HVAC system that is appropriately sized for your home's specific needs based on factors like square footage, insulation, and local climate. 

HVAC financing allows homeowners to spread out the cost of a new or replacement heating and cooling system over time with monthly payments, rather than paying a large upfront sum. This can make a new HVAC system more affordable and manageable within a budget, especially when unexpected system failures occur. Victory Mechanical Group offers financing through Green Sky including zero percent options for qualified buyers.

Geothermal heat installation involves setting up a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system that utilizes the Earth's relatively stable temperature to heat and cool a building. This process typically involves installing a ground loop system (either horizontal, vertical, or pond/lake) and connecting it to an indoor heat pump unit. The cost of installation can vary widely, but it is generally more expensive than traditional HVAC systems upfront, though long-term energy savings.

Whether you are a first-time homebuyer or looking to move, purchasing a new home is an exciting time. Although you may fall in love with the layout and aesthetic of a home, a dream may quickly turn into a nightmare if you don’t know the history of the inner workings of the home before you sign the dotted line.

When your AC is out before a technician arrives, focus on staying cool and preparing for the repair. Try to stay on the lowest level of your home, as heat rises. Use fans, close blinds and curtains to block sunlight, and avoid using heat-generating appliances. Consider taking a cold shower or using a damp towel for cooling. Before the technician arrives, ensure clear access to the AC unit and note any details about the issue (noise, leaks, etc.). 

HVAC systems work hardest during peak seasons, like the heat of summer or the chill of winter. Scheduling maintenance before these high-demand periods is the key to continuous performance. You can maximize your energy savings by scheduling maintenance before the heating or cooling season begins instead of getting a tune-up halfway through the summer or winter. Scheduling maintenance in spring or fall can help ensure you enter summer or winter with a unit that's primed to oper
