FAQs
How often should I replace my HVAC filters, and how do your filter-change reminders help?
Most manufacturers recommend changing 1-inch disposable filters every 30–60 days, pleated 2- to 4-inch filters every 60–90 days, and high-efficiency media filters every 6–12 months. Our service records the exact filter size and type you use, then emails or texts you when it is time to change it. You get a reminder before peak pollen and heating seasons, reducing dust buildup, preventing airflow restrictions, and keeping your McDonald home’s HVAC system running efficiently.
What types of thermostats can you upgrade my system with, and what are their benefits?
We carry programmable, Wi-Fi, and full smart learning thermostats from trusted brands such as Ecobee, Honeywell, and Nest. Programmable models let you pre-set temperature schedules for weekdays and weekends. Wi-Fi units add remote access through a phone app. Smart learning thermostats adapt to your schedule automatically, offer energy-use reports, and integrate with voice assistants like Alexa or Google Home. Any upgrade improves comfort control and can cut energy costs by 10–20 % when used correctly.
Will upgrading my thermostat really save me money on energy bills?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that homeowners can save up to 10 % a year on heating and cooling by simply turning their thermostat back 7–10 °F for 8 hours a day. A programmable or smart thermostat does this automatically, ensuring savings even when you forget. Many smart models also provide real-time efficiency tips and usage charts that help you fine-tune settings for additional savings.
Is my existing heating and cooling system compatible with a smart thermostat upgrade?
Most modern gas furnaces, heat pumps, and air conditioners that use a 24-volt (low-voltage) control circuit are compatible. During a free on-site visit, our technician checks the control board, wiring, and whether a common (C) wire is present. If your system lacks a C wire, we can usually add one or install a compatible adapter. Older line-voltage baseboard heaters, however, require special thermostats, which we also stock.
How are filter-change reminders set up and delivered to me?
After we install new filters or perform maintenance, we log the date, filter type, and your preferred reminder interval into our cloud-based system. You choose email, SMS, or push notifications through our mobile app. The system counts down automatically and sends a friendly reminder when it’s time to change the filter. You can adjust the frequency or stop reminders at any time inside the customer portal.
