How to Prevent Air Conditioner Repairs

The number one way to avoid an unexpected repair is by catching problems before they lead to breakdowns. This is why we always recommend routine annual maintenance to our customers, whether by Heritage or another licensed provider. During your maintenance, Heritage inspects every inch of your system (indoor and outdoor) for all of the common issues listed above, as well as uncommon problems that are harder to detect without training and specialized equipment, such as refrigerant leaks.

When is it Time for a New Air Conditioner?

A well-maintained AC system can last anywhere from ten to 15 years and sometimes more. What really determines the lifespan of your system is crucial components such as the condenser coil and evaporator coil. Over time, leaks can compromise these components and lead to costly replacements. Eventually, it becomes a better investment to replace the system completely. If your system is having a hard time cooling or doesn’t cool at all, these may be indicators of a larger problem that could lead to a replacement being an option. There’s never a good time to have to replace your AC system, but when it happens, Heritage is here to make the process simple so you can be cool again in no time. Our dedicated install team will provide you with a customized solution for your home and needs, and in most cases can be at your door to install your new system the very next day. We’ll also handle any permitting required by your town so you can be sure you’ve received a quality installation.

Zoned HVAC Systems in MA | Heritage Home Service

Many people with two-story homes or large houses find that the temperature can vary from room to room. Whether the room is upstairs, has a west-facing window, has different insulation, or is a new addition, we understand how tricky it can be to keep your house at a consistent temperature.

You may also live with people who have very different temperature preferences. Your standard heating and cooling system only lets you set one temperature for the entire house, meaning that you’re forced to fight over the thermostat to stay comfortable.

With a Mitsubishi Electric zoned HVAC system from Heritage Home Service, you no longer have to deal with one room feeling like a freezer and the other an oven. HVAC zoning lets you set each room to whatever temperature you want. Like it a little cooler in that upstairs bedroom? You’ve got it. Want it a little warmer in the living room? Go for it. With a zoned HVAC system from Mitsubishi, everyone wins.

How Do Zoned HVAC Systems Work?

Imagine your home is divided into different zones, like sections of a pizza. A zoned heating and cooling system lets you control the temperature in each of these zones separately. It does this using special doors that open and close and many thermostats.

A zoned heating and cooling system allows you to control the temperature in different sections of your home separately. With central AC and heating systems, this is done with a system of motorized dampers and multiple thermostats for each zone. If you use ductless mini split systems in your home, each unit controls its own zone. You can even turn off heating and cooling for individual zones, allowing you to save energy on spaces you don’t use regularly.

Benefits of a Zoned Heating & AC System

The main advantages of a zoned HVAC system include:

Increased temperature control throughout your home
Improved flexibility and environmental control
Lower heating and cooling bills over time

What Others Say

    
 
 
       I had a tree come down on the electric service between my house and the pole which not only severed the wire but also destroyed the service on the side of the house. I called Heritage and they dispatched Erik to assist me. He was prompt, courteous, and very knowledgeable, and repaired the damage quickly. Very satisfied, will call again if I need service in the future!

      Justin was a gem. Fixed what others thought was too complicated (it was not). Reviewed other work that I need done- educated me on some safety features. Will use Heritage with no hesitation and hopefully Justin will do all my electrical work!

      Called Saturday afternoon for an appointment for a leaky toilet in a rental property. Not an emergency, so he came out promptly Monday morning as agreed, gave a quick diagnosis, took care of the problem quickly. Heritage is pricey, but do you know how long it can take to get most plumbers to your door? Prompt service meant a lot of value-add in this situation.
