  • Indoor Air Quality

    • How is indoor air quality measured?

      Indoor air quality is measured in several ways. The components of an indoor air quality assessment include temperature, humidity, fresh air supply, and pollutant/contaminant control. By examining each of these elements, your service provider can determine the overall quality of your home’s air.

    • How can I tell if my home has bad indoor air quality?

      Several signs indicate the air quality inside your home is not as good as it could be. Some of these signs include an increase in the prevalence and/or severity of common colds or the flu, more severe allergy or asthma symptoms, frequent congestion, dry eyes, dry hair or skin, headaches, nausea, sneezing, coughing, shortness of breath, unpleasant odors in the home, and poor HVAC efficiency. If you notice any of these signs, schedule indoor air quality testing with Valley Heating & Cooling right away.

    • Are indoor air quality systems effective?

      Modern indoor air quality systems are highly effective at improving the quality of the air inside your home. These systems work together to balance indoor humidity and remove potentially harmful airborne contaminants, such as pollen, pet dander, dust, mold, bacteria, viruses, and more. Our technicians can walk you through the efficiency and effectiveness of various indoor air quality systems to help you find the right solution for your and your family’s needs.

  • Air Conditioning Services

    • How do you maintain an air conditioner?

      Like any other complex machine, such as a car, air conditioners need regular maintenance. Not only does this ensure optimal performance and peak energy efficiency, but it also helps save you money on utility bills, repairs, and other cooling-related costs. You can maintain your air conditioner by checking and changing out or cleaning the air filter regularly. This should be done about once every 45 to every 90 days, depending on how often you use your air conditioner, what type of system you have, and other factors. You can also make sure that your air conditioner gets regular tune-ups from a professional HVAC team.

      We recommend scheduling an annual AC inspection and tune-up service at least once a year. During this maintenance service, our technicians will examine the various components, check for wear and tear, and identify any issues that need to be addressed. They’ll also clean the system, replace the filter (if necessary), check for drainage issues, and complete minor repairs. This helps keep your AC in top shape and prevents future breakdowns.

    • What type of air conditioner should I buy?

      The right type of air conditioner for your home depends on many factors. You’ll want to consider the size of your house, your budget, whether you have preexisting ductwork in your home, whether you want customizable cooling power, how often you will use your AC, and more. Our team can help you weigh your options and determine the right type of air conditioning system for your unique needs.

    • Does Valley Heating & Cooling offer same-day AC service?

      Yes! We are available for same-day air conditioning service, as well as 24/7 emergency AC repairs. No matter when your air conditioner stops working, you can count on us to restore your home’s comfort.

  • Heating Services

    • Should I schedule heater maintenance?

      Yes! Regular maintenance is vital for the health and reliability of your heating system. During a once-annual inspection, our technicians can look for any potential issues and complete minor cleaning and repair services. This helps boost your heater’s performance and energy efficiency, saving you money on future repairs and utility costs. Regular maintenance can also increase the expected lifespan of your heating system, meaning you won’t have to worry about replacing it for longer than you would without annual tune-ups.

    • What does heater maintenance include?

      Usually, heater maintenance includes a complete inspection of your heating system. Our technicians will look at the various components to identify wear and tear, as well as minor issues that need to be addressed. They’ll also thoroughly clean the system to improve efficiency and make sure that everything is working properly. If any issues are identified, our technicians will then provide recommendations for further service.

    • How often should I schedule heater service?

      We recommend that you have your heater serviced at least once a year, ideally in the fall before the colder weather really sets in.

    • Does Valley Heating & Cooling offer 24/7 emergency heater services?

      Yes, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency HVAC repairs. No matter when your heater fails, we are available to come out to your home, inspect your system, diagnose the problem, and carry out the necessary repairs or replacements.
