Frequently Asked Questions About Cooling Services
We’ve put together answers to frequently asked questions about our cooling services in South Bend, IN.
How much does it cost to get an AC installed?
The cost of getting an AC system installed in your home can vary widely depending on what kind of system is getting installed, how big your home is, and if ductwork is involved. To get a better idea of what your specific installation will be priced at, you should contact our team at Bickel Heating and Cooling directly.
When should I schedule cooling services in South Bend, IN?
We recommend you get your AC system installed and serviced in the spring, since there is a spike in demand in the summer months, which can cause delays in getting your appointment scheduled.
Do I need new ductwork if I get a new AC?
Not necessarily. We’ll assess your ductwork to see if it’s the correct size and whether it’s in good condition. If it’s not, however, you may need new ductwork installed.
What is the difference between SEER and SEER2 ratings?
SEER was the metric used to categorize the energy efficiency of air conditioning systems until 2023. After that, we’ve moved to an updated version of that metric called SEER2. SEER2 uses updated tests and has changed the standards to better match real-world conditions. The higher the SEER2 rating, the more efficient your system will be.
What causes an air conditioner to leak?
The culprit may be a condensate line that’s clogged or a frozen evaporator coil. Our team can diagnose what’s causing the leak and patch it up for you.
How frequently should an air conditioner’s air filter be changed?
You should likely change your filter every one to three months. Pets, allergies, and a lot of use can mean you need to change it more frequently, however.
