What is a SEER rating?

The SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) measures the efficiency of your heating and cooling equipment. It represents the amount of cooling your system delivers per dollar spent on electricity. SEER ratings range from 13 to 21 — the higher the SEER, the more efficient the system. The total rating depends on both outdoor equipment (heat pump or air conditioner) and indoor equipment (evaporator coil, furnace, or air handler).

How often should I have my HVAC system maintained?

Heat pumps and air conditioners require a professional tune-up twice a year, in the spring and fall. Regular maintenance maximizes the lifecycle of your system and guards against common equipment failures. Inspections should include ductwork, pipes, dampers, valves, the chimney, registers, fans, compressors, coils, and refrigerant lines.

Should I use a programmable thermostat?

Yes. Programmable thermostats are more accurate and efficient than traditional mercury thermostats. They allow you to control your home's temperature at different times of day automatically, so you never forget to adjust settings — saving energy and money.

How do I choose the right air filter?

Standard filters keep your system and ductwork clean but don't significantly improve indoor air quality. A media air cleaner improves dust and particle removal up to seven times over a standard filter, and pleated media filters can remove everything from dust to airborne viruses. Replace disposable filters at least once a month, and wash reusable filters monthly.

What size HVAC system do I need?

System sizing depends on square footage, insulation, window configuration, geographic location, and duct arrangement. One ton of air conditioning can cool anywhere from 300 to 800 square feet depending on your home's construction. Jaguar Heating & Air performs an in-home load analysis to determine the right equipment for your home.

What does the Trane warranty cover?

Under the standard factory warranty, Trane covers parts that fail during the warranty period due to defect. All Trane equipment installed by Jaguar Heating & Air is registered with Trane Corporation to ensure your 10-year parts warranty. With a Jaguar Heating & Air Total Comfort Plan, you get a 10-year parts and labor warranty on your Trane equipment.

People frequently expose themselves to harmful contaminants in the comfort of their own homes without knowing it. From harmful cleaning chemicals to dirty ductwork, there are many ways contaminants make their way into your Roseville, California, house. Fortunately, there are just as many ways to turn your house into a healthy home. Creating a healthy home is easier than most think. Here are the top ways to do so:

Reduce Your Exposure to Pollen

When it's hay fever season, brush off your outerwear before entering the home. If you have indoor pets, brush their hair at least once a week to keep pet dander from aggravating allergy and asthma symptoms. It's also during this part of the year that you should avoid hanging laundry on a clothesline outside. Otherwise, pollen will stick to the clothes as they're drying. When you bring them in, you're inviting pollen into your home.

Install an Air Purification System

Air purification systems can be installed directly to your HVAC system, or you can use portable models. The Trane CleanEffects™ Air Cleaner removes up to 99.98 percent of pollutants from your filtered indoor air. It has a low operating cost and easy-to-view cleaning indicators on the outside of the unit. You simply vacuum and rinse the unit's filters once every three to nine months. The unit's ability to improve indoor air quality is significantly enhanced when you pair it with regular ductwork cleaning.

Use Door Mats and Shoe Baskets

A double length, washable welcome mat can keep up to 80 percent of dirt and other allergens out of your home. Place one of these mats at all entrances to the home, and make sure to wipe your feet before coming inside. Place a shoe basket right inside these doorways, and ask everyone to place their shoes in them so they don't track dirt, pollen and bacteria throughout the house. As a result, you'll avoid a filthier home.Contact Jaguar Heating & Air at 916-646-2007 to schedule a duct cleaning session. We can also perform an assessment to determine the best type of air purification system to install in your home.Image provided by Shutterstock
