HVAC FAQs

HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. It refers to the systems that control temperature, humidity, and air quality inside your home or business.

We recommend professional maintenance twice a year—once in spring for cooling and once in fall for heating. Regular tune-ups help prevent breakdowns and improve efficiency.

With proper care, most systems last 12–20 years. The lifespan depends on system type, usage, and maintenance history.

Common signs include weak airflow, uneven temperatures, unusual noises, frequent cycling, or higher energy bills. If your system struggles to maintain comfort, it’s time to call a professional.

System size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, layout, and windows. Our technicians perform load calculations to ensure proper sizing for optimal comfort and efficiency.

Warm air can result from low refrigerant, a dirty coil, or electrical issues. Our team diagnoses and corrects the cause to restore proper cooling.

Change filters every one to three months, depending on usage, pets, and indoor air quality. Clogged filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency.

Yes. Dirty coils prevent heat transfer, forcing your system to work harder. Regular cleaning during maintenance keeps coils efficient and reduces wear.

Yes. CoolLife Heating and Air provides 24/7 emergency AC repair across Kennesaw and surrounding areas to restore comfort when you need it most.

High-efficiency systems use advanced technology to deliver better cooling with less energy. You’ll enjoy lower bills, quieter operation, and improved humidity control.

Rattling, banging, or squealing often indicates loose components, a faulty blower motor, or ignition problems. Prompt service prevents further damage.

Replace your filter every one to three months or as recommended by your manufacturer. Clean filters improve airflow and system longevity.

Most homeowners stay comfortable around 68°F during the day and 60–65°F at night. Smart thermostats make temperature management simple and efficient.

If your furnace is over 15 years old, frequently breaks down, or operates inefficiently, replacement may be the more cost-effective choice. We’ll assess your system and provide honest guidance.

Yes. Our certified technicians handle all gas furnace repairs and ensure safe combustion and venting during every visit.

We recommend a combination of upgraded filters, air purifiers, humidity control, and proper ventilation. Our team can design a customized air quality solution for your space.

Yes. UV-C lights help neutralize bacteria, mold, and viruses inside your HVAC system, improving indoor air health.

Maintain humidity between 30% and 50%. Proper levels prevent dryness in winter and mold growth in summer.

Certain models with activated carbon filters effectively reduce odors from smoke, cooking, and pets.

Every three to five years, or sooner if you notice visible dust, mold, or reduced airflow.

Our programs include biannual tune-ups, detailed inspections, priority scheduling, and discounts on repairs. Each visit ensures your system operates safely and efficiently.

Yes. A well-maintained system uses less energy and experiences fewer performance issues, saving you money over time.

You can change filters, clear debris from outdoor units, and keep vents open. However, professional inspections are vital for safety and thorough performance testing.

Regular maintenance, programmable thermostats, proper insulation, and high-efficiency equipment all help reduce energy use.

Many models qualify for energy rebates or tax incentives. We can help you find available programs when installing a new system.

Most residential installations are completed within one day. Complex systems or ductwork upgrades may require additional time.

Yes. We install and maintain HVAC systems for homes, offices, retail spaces, and light commercial buildings.

A communicating system uses smart sensors and digital controls to adjust performance automatically for consistent comfort and energy savings.

Absolutely. We install and program smart thermostats that integrate with your existing HVAC system for improved convenience and control.

If your system is older, needs frequent repairs, or has declining efficiency, replacement can lower costs and provide better comfort long-term.
