  • What is the useful life of an HVAC furnace?

    The useful life of an HVAC furnace is typically 15–20 years, according to manufacturers. Regular maintenance, timely filter changes, and professional inspections can help extend its performance and efficiency. At KB Service Co, our expert heating contractors provide comprehensive HVAC services designed to maximize your furnace’s lifespan. From seasonal tune-ups to detailed system evaluations, our team ensures your heating system operates reliably and efficiently year after year.
  • How often should I change my furnace filter?

    Regular maintenance plays a vital role in extending your furnace’s performance and preventing unexpected breakdowns. According to This Old House, the lifespan of a furnace is about 20–30 years, but that longevity depends heavily on proper care and timely upkeep. At KB Service Co., we recommend changing a 1-inch filter at least once a month and a 4-inch filter every three months, depending on use. Staying consistent with filter changes not only improves indoor air quality but also reduces the risk of costly furnace repairs. By relying on the experienced technicians at KB Service Co., homeowners can ensure their heating systems run efficiently, safely, and reliably for years to come.
  • What does HVAC stand for?

    HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning—an essential system for maintaining comfort throughout the year. When heating issues occur, prompt furnace repairs are crucial to restore performance and efficiency. At KB Service Co, our experienced technicians specialize in diagnosing and resolving furnace problems quickly to keep your home warm and reliable.
  • What system is better a traditional air conditioner or a modern day heat pump?

    A heat pump offers a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for both heating and cooling, outperforming traditional air conditioning systems. Because it transfers heat rather than generating it, homeowners often experience lower energy bills and fewer furnace repairs. At KB Service Co, our expert technicians can assess whether a heat pump is the best option for your home and ensure it operates at peak efficiency for lasting comfort.
  • How often should I have maintenance done on my furnace and air conditioner?

    We usually recommend scheduling HVAC maintenance at least once a year to keep manufacturers’ warranties valid and systems running smoothly. Routine service helps prevent costly furnace repairs while improving efficiency and extending equipment life. At KB Service Co, our skilled technicians provide detailed inspections, tune-ups, and safety checks to ensure optimal performance and year-round comfort for your home.
