New Home HVAC Issues
Moving into a new home is an exciting experience, but it can also come with its fair share of challenges. One of the critical areas that often get overlooked is the HVAC system. Even in new homes, HVAC systems can present issues that need immediate attention. In this article, we will discuss common new home HVAC issues and how Superior AC & Heat can help fix them.
Improperly Sized System
One of the most common issues with new homes is an improperly sized HVAC system. If the system is too small, it won’t adequately heat or cool your home. Conversely, if it’s too large, it will cycle on and off too frequently, which can increase wear and tear and energy consumption. Superior AC & Heat can assess your home’s size and insulation to ensure you have the right-sized system for your needs.
Ductwork Issues
Ductwork is the network of tubes that distributes warm or cool air throughout your home. Common ductwork issues include leaks, obstructions, and inadequate insulation. These issues can lead to uneven temperatures, reduced system efficiency, and increased energy bills. Superior AC & Heat’s experienced technicians can inspect your ductwork, identify any issues, and provide the necessary repairs or upgrades.
Poor Indoor Air Quality
New homes are often more airtight than older ones, which can lead to poor indoor air quality if the HVAC system is not properly designed or maintained. Common indoor air pollutants include dust, pollen, pet dander, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from building materials and household products. Superior AC & Heat offers a range of indoor air quality solutions, including air purifiers, dehumidifiers, and UV lights, to help create a healthier living environment.
Incorrect Thermostat Placement
The thermostat controls the temperature of your home by regulating the HVAC system. If it is placed in an area that receives direct sunlight or is near a heat source, it can result in inaccurate temperature readings and cause your system to work harder than necessary. Superior AC & Heat can evaluate your thermostat’s location and move it to a more suitable spot if necessary.
Lack of Maintenance
Even new HVAC systems require regular maintenance to operate at peak efficiency. Skipping maintenance can lead to a host of problems, including reduced efficiency, more frequent breakdowns, and a shorter system lifespan. Superior AC & Heat offers comprehensive maintenance services to keep your HVAC system running smoothly all year round.
HVAC System Not Being Connected Properly
Sometimes, in new homes, the HVAC system may not be connected properly due to oversight during construction or installation. This can include issues like the thermostat not being wired correctly, air vents not being properly connected to the ductwork, or the heating and cooling components not being properly connected to the power source. These issues can cause your HVAC system to malfunction or not work at all. Superior AC & Heat technicians are skilled in identifying and correcting these issues. They will thoroughly inspect your HVAC system to ensure that all components are properly connected and functioning as they should.
