FAQ

The SEER rating listed on the Energy Guide is a nominal value that reflects the performance of each split system cooling unit under specific conditions. However, this rating can improve with an upgraded indoor unit, as the overall efficiency is heavily influenced by the combination of the outdoor equipment (whether it’s a heat pump or an air conditioning unit) and the indoor components (including the evaporator coil and furnace or air handler). It’s essential to consider that the SEER rating you see may not perfectly represent the performance of your specific setup, especially if you have made modifications or upgrades to your system’s indoor or outdoor components.

Regular maintenance is vital for several reasons. First, it helps extend your unit’s lifespan by preventing issues like leaks, corrosion, and inefficient operation. Over time, dust and debris can gather in the system, leading to decreased performance and even costly repairs. By scheduling routine check-ups, you can ensure that your system operates at maximum efficiency, which not only enhances comfort in your home but also reduces energy consumption and lowers your costs. We recommend having your system inspected and maintained at least once a year to catch any potential issues early and keep everything running smoothly.

Both heat pumps and air conditioners require professional tune-ups to maintain their efficiency and effectiveness. We recommend scheduling a tune-up at least once a year for these systems. For gas-fired heating systems, which are generally more efficient, servicing should be done every two years. During these maintenance visits, technicians will inspect and service the essential components of your system, including ductwork, valves, and refrigerant lines, to ensure that everything is functioning optimally and to prevent any unexpected breakdowns or issues.

Programmable thermostats offer numerous advantages over traditional mercury-based models. They provide more accurate temperature control, allowing you to set automatic temperature adjustments throughout the day based on your schedule. This means you can optimize your home’s heating and cooling for times when you’re there and save energy when you’re not. By utilizing a programmable thermostat, you can enjoy consistent comfort while significantly reducing energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills without the need for constant manual adjustments.

To enhance indoor air quality and ensure your heating and cooling system operates efficiently, it’s recommended to use a media filter, which is seven times more effective than standard filters. For even better filtration, consider upgrading to a pleated media filter, which captures smaller particles and allergens. Disposable filters should be replaced monthly to maintain optimal airflow and system performance, while washable filters should be cleaned regularly based on usage and environmental conditions.

Bryant filters are engineered from higher-quality materials than the typical filters you find in stores, so they may not be readily available. These filters are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of Bryant systems and are only sold through authorized Bryant dealers. Additionally, some Bryant filters are reusable and can be cleaned by hand, which adds to their longevity and effectiveness. If you need help finding the right filter for your equipment, it’s best to contact your local Bryant dealer for assistance.

Regular upkeep extends the lifespan of your system, as it helps prevent damage and keeps your equipment running efficiently for as long as possible.
