Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a water filtration system for my home in Temecula?
Yes, a water filtration system will allow you to continue accessing clean, drinkable water even when Southern California experiences water quality issues. It will remove contaminants, reduce mineral buildup, and improve the water’s taste.
How often should I service my air conditioning unit?
We recommend having your AC serviced at least once a year, or more if it has been running constantly for a long period. It’s best to have a full tune-up in early spring, before the hot weather hits.
What’s the average lifespan of an HVAC system in California?
An HVAC system can last 10–20 years, depending on its type, size, maintenance, and use. Temecula is 22 miles inland from the coast, but even so, the salty air may reduce the lifespan by 1-2 years.
Should I repair or replace my AC unit in Temecula’s hot climate?
If your cooling system needs constant repairs, is older than 10 years, experiences electrical issues or gas leaks, or doesn’t consistently perform its job, it may be time to replace it. When the next heat wave hits, you don’t want to be left with a broken-down air conditioner.
What’s the best heating system for homes in Southern California?
Heat pumps might be the best option, as they’re inexpensive and extremely energy efficient. They offer heating and cooling functionality and work best in warm Mediterranean climates like Temecula’s.
Ductless mini-splits are heat pumps that work without ducts, making them an easy addition to your home, garage, workshop, or any space that needs heating and cooling.
Why is my furnace making strange noises?
There could be several causes, like loose or broken parts, a faulty blower motor, issues with the belts, a cracked heat exchanger, electrical problems, a dirty air filter, dirty burners, or even a gas leak. If you’re hearing strange noises from your furnace, don’t wait to call an HVAC professional. They’ll find and fix the cause of the sound before it becomes a total system breakdown.
Why is my AC running but not cooling my home?
An air conditioner blowing warm air might have low refrigerant, condenser problems, frozen evaporator coils, air duct problems, or a dirty filter, among other issues. Call Comfort Bros for service. We’ll get your AC running as it should, fast.
What should I do if my pipes are leaking?
The first thing you should do is turn the water off. Mop up all the water and dry the area to avoid damaging the floors, walls, and ceilings. Next, call a plumber. At Comfort Bros, our plumbers are equipped to find the leak’s source without causing unnecessary damage to your home or yard.
