Your Questions, Answered

At Hometown Ace Heating and Cooling, we understand that heating and cooling systems can be confusing, especially when you just want your home to stay comfortable and energy-efficient. That’s why we’ve gathered some of the most common questions our customers ask — along with straightforward answers from our team of trusted hvac experts. Whether you’re curious about furnace repair, planning an ac installation, or wondering about regular hvac maintenance, you’ll find the answers here.

  • How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance?

    We recommend scheduling hvac maintenance at least twice a year — once in the spring before you start your cooling system and once in the fall before heating season. Regular tune-ups help prevent costly breakdowns, improve efficiency, and extend the lifespan of your equipment.

  • What are the signs that my furnace or AC needs repair?

    Common signs you may need furnace repair or ac service include strange noises, weak airflow, uneven temperatures, or higher energy bills. If your system struggles to keep up or cycles frequently, it’s best to have one of our technicians inspect it before the issue gets worse.

  • How long do HVAC systems usually last?

    With proper hvac maintenance, most systems last between 10 to 15 years. Factors like usage, system quality, and regular servicing all play a role. Upgrading your system when it’s older can improve comfort and reduce energy costs — especially with modern ductless systems or high-efficiency models.

  • What’s the benefit of a ductless system?

    Ductless systems are great for spaces without existing ductwork, home additions, or rooms that never seem to stay comfortable. They’re energy-efficient, quiet, and allow you to control temperatures in different areas individually — saving money and improving comfort year-round.

  • When should I replace my HVAC system instead of repairing it?

    If your unit is over 12 years old, needs frequent repairs, or causes high utility bills, replacement may be more cost-effective than another heating and cooling repair. Our team can evaluate your system and help you decide whether a new ac installation or furnace replacement would save you more in the long run.

  • Can regular maintenance really save me money?

    Absolutely. Routine hvac maintenance helps your system run more efficiently, which means it uses less energy to heat or cool your home. It also helps prevent small problems from becoming major repairs — saving you money and stress over time.

  • Do you offer both residential and commercial HVAC services?

    Yes! Hometown Ace Heating and Cooling proudly serves both homes and businesses in Moose Lake, MN and nearby areas. Whether it’s furnace repair, boiler service, ac installation, or ongoing hvac maintenance, our team handles all types of properties with the same care and expertise.
