1. Why is a system with matched components so important when selecting a new system?
A matched system is important for a variety of reasons. First is comfort, when all your components are properly sized to your home, you can control exactly how much heating or cooling you need so you can be comfortable. Also, a properly sized matched system enables every component to perform as designed, meaning proper cycle times are maintained, humidity is controlled. Another reason matched systems are important is energy efficiency. Most systems people purchase is too large for their homes, which uses more energy than needed. A matched system outlined by a certified Tech from Irving AC would complete a load calculation to insure the selected system provides the right amount of heating and cooling you need for your home.
2. Does freon need to be added to my system every year?
No. The freon in your cooling system is circulated through the copper refrigeration lines to remove heat from your home. If your system needs freon, you could possibly have a leak and it is costing you money in higher utility bills through poor system performance. It can also damage the compressor, the heart of the air conditioning system. We recommend calling Irving AC and request a service call from one of our Certified Tech’s who will let you know what is needed for the system to be reliable and efficient.
3. Are electrostatic air filters good for my system?
Electro-static filters actually restrict the airflow going through your system. (Poor airflow is one of the two major problems with air conditioning and heating systems.) This can create stress (high static pressure) on your system and reduce its efficiency level. Irving AC suggest using high efficiency media filter or electronic air cleaner as your best choice.

6. Why should I purchase a Planned Service and safety check agreement?
A poorly maintained air conditioner uses 10-30% more energy than necessary.
Proper care of your equipment can save on your heating and cooling bills. All leading manufacturers recommend regular service to your air conditioner to maintain peak performance. A service agreement from Irving AC will give you peace of mind that your system is operating at peak efficiency and performance.
7. Why should I have my air ducts tested for leaks?
Your air conditioner is only as good as the ducts that carry the heated or cooled air. Studies indicate that up to 30% of the heated and cooled air is lost along with the money spent to heat or cool that air – through leaky ducts. Ducts that are a part of your air conditioning system should be tested and sealed for leaks to help make your heating and cooling system significantly more efficient. Please call Irving AC to come by and give you an honest assessment of your Air Duct system.
