Tracy HVAC Questions Answered
Find the right HVAC contractor in Tracy. We connect you with licensed, insured professionals who deliver quality service—backed by real customer reviews.
How often should I change my air filter?
Every 1-3 months. Closer to 30 days if you have pets, allergies, or live in a dusty area. A dirty filter makes your system work harder and die sooner. Set a phone reminder.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my system?
General rule: If the repair costs more than half what a new system costs, replace it. Also replace if your system is 15+ years old and breaking down often. We'll give you both options with real numbers - no pressure.
How often should I schedule maintenance?
Twice a year. AC tune-up in spring (March-May). Furnace tune-up in fall (Sept-Nov). Catches problems early and keeps your warranty valid.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we have several financing packages and monthly payment plans available.
What are the Title 24 requirements for HVAC in California?
California's energy code requires minimum 15 SEER for AC and specific insulation and duct sealing standards. Your contractor must file permits and comply with these requirements—always ask for Title 24 documentation.
Should I switch to a heat pump in California?
California offers rebates up to $3,000+ for heat pump installation through TECH Clean California. Heat pumps are ideal for the mild climate and help meet the state's electrification goals. Check with your utility for local incentives.
How do I prepare for power shutoffs during fire season?
Consider a battery backup system or generator for essential HVAC. During PSPS events, a portable AC or battery-powered fan can provide relief. Also ensure your air filtration system can handle smoke infiltration during fire season.
