Question 3

How long does an HVAC system typically last?

Accepted Answer

A well-maintained HVAC system typically lasts 15–25 years. Furnaces average 15–20 years, while air conditioners last about 15–20 years. Regular maintenance can extend this lifespan significantly.

Question 4

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

Accepted Answer

Signs of hidden leaks include unexpectedly high water bills, damp or discolored walls, musty odors, mold growth, and the sound of running water when all fixtures are off. We offer professional leak detection services.

Question 5

How often should a water heater be replaced?

Accepted Answer

Traditional tank water heaters typically last 8–12 years, while tankless models can last 20+ years. If your water heater is over 10 years old, making unusual noises, or producing rusty water, it may be time for a replacement.
