Homeowner couple ask tech in blue shirt questions about HVAC repairs in kitchen.

No one likes to deal with HVAC repairs, but they are an inevitable part of homeownership. However, once your furnace or A/C is fixed, asking your RJ Heating and Air Conditioning tech the right questions can help prevent similar problems in the future. What questions are those? Find them below—and be sure to call our Carrier® experts with any comfort-related questions you have.

What Was the Problem—and How Did You Fix It?

Having a thorough understanding of what repair was needed and how it was fixed can help you avoid similar problems from occurring in the future. It can also help you to understand how your system functions overall. Ask your tech if the repair is a short-term fix until you need system replacement—or if the problem is solved.

What Should I Do Next?

Ask your technician if there’s anything else you need to do or watch out for once your HVAC repairs are complete. While we’ll let you know if additional service is needed, it helps if you monitor your system so you can contact us if further problems arise or something doesn’t seem right.

Do You Have Any Recommendations for Upgrades?

Any HVAC system that can improve your quality of life and convenience is worth looking into—especially if it can help improve your home’s energy efficiency. Ask your technician about systems such as Wi-Fi or smart thermostats, humidifiers and dehumidifiers, or other indoor air quality systems that can complement your home comfort.

Should I Plan On Scheduling Maintenance?

Now that your furnace or air conditioner is repaired, ask your HVAC technician how often you should plan on system maintenance in the future. While RJ Heating recommends annual maintenance, the frequency might vary depending on your home.

How Long Before My System Needs to Be Replaced?

While no one wants to replace their furnace or air conditioner, sometimes HVAC repairs become too frequent and costly. Ask your HVAC technician how long it will be before you should consider a replacement. This can help you plan so you won’t be blindsided if you suddenly need a new unit.
