Folkes Home Services

Routine maintenance can mean the difference between prolonging the life of your HVAC system and replacing it years earlier than planned. At a minimum, filters should be changed every 3 months (or less if you have pets or other allergens in your home), and a professional maintenance check should be done prior to the start of each season in order to ensure everything is in working order.

Yes. Our certified technicians are happy to offer detailed estimates on all of your HVAC needs from repairs to full installations.

If your furnace or AC isn’t working properly, first check to see that the unit has power and that the thermostat is operating as it should. You can also check to see if your filters are clogged or need to be replaced. If these simple fixes don’t resolve your issues, it’s time to call for repairs.

Smart thermostats can help your household cut energy costs by allowing you to set a customizable program for your home climate. It allows you to access your home system even when you’re away in order to change the settings and save your system from working extra hard to maintain a temperature for an empty house.

The decision to upgrade to a new heating and cooling system isn’t often a cut and dry case. In general, if your system has reached 10+ years of age and the repairs are looking to be more than 30% of the cost of a new system, we recommend considering an upgrade.

Determining the most efficient means of heating your new construction requires consideration of many factors. You must consider your overall square footage, ceiling heights, what type of flooring and windows you’ll be using, as well as the structural layout of your construction. The best way to reach the best option for your home is with a professional consultation with one of our technicians.

In general, your home requires approximately 25 BTUs to control the climate of one square foot in your home. For a very rough estimate, multiply your square footage by 25 to get a general idea of how large a system you will need. It is important to note, however, that there are several factors that figure into determining the right size unit – including ceiling heights, type and quality of insulation, drafts, and ductwork seal quality to name a few. A consult with our trained technicians will give you the most accurate estimate on what you’ll need.

Howdy Lovely, Keeping your ductwork cleaned regularly is a good habit to keep, but sometimes you may need additional cleaning and inspections between regular maintenance checks. If you notice an odd smell permeating from your vents or your system seems to be struggling to keep up with the set temperature, you may need to have your ductwork inspected and cleaned.

That was not the case for me. Was a separate charge.
