Modern AC systems use R-410A refrigerant which requires EPA certification to handle. Incorrect refrigerant charging damages compressors ($1,500-$2,500 to replace). Licensed technicians diagnose root causes rather than treating symptoms, saving you from repeat service calls.

HVAC systems should be professionally serviced twice per year: once in spring for your cooling system and once in fall for heating. Change air filters every 1-3 months depending on usage, pets, and air quality. Regular maintenance extends system life by 5-10 years and reduces energy bills by 15-25%.
Consider replacement when your system is 15-20 years old, needs repairs costing more than 50% of a new system, uses R-22 refrigerant (phased out), or cannot maintain comfortable temperatures. New high-efficiency systems can reduce energy costs by 30-40% compared to units from the 2000s.
HVAC sizing requires a Manual J load calculation that accounts for your home's square footage, insulation, window area, orientation, climate zone, and occupancy. Oversized systems short-cycle (wasting energy and reducing comfort), while undersized systems run constantly. Always get a proper load calculation, not a rule-of-thumb estimate.
