Frequently Asked Cooling Questions

In most cases, filters should be changed every 3-6 months. However, several factors influence the frequency, including fan runtime, filter size, quality, and household activity levels. To determine the optimal replacement schedule, assess your home’s needs and consult with our team for personalized recommendations.
Typically, duct cleaning is recommended every 5-7 months for most homes. However, individual circumstances may vary, so it’s essential to assess your ductwork regularly and schedule cleaning as needed.

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) is a measurement of an AC unit’s efficiency over a typical cooling season, regulated by the Department of Energy. It considers factors affecting performance both indoors and outdoors.
A heat pump is a refrigeration device capable of both heating and cooling by transferring heat energy between indoors and outdoors. Its benefits include energy efficiency and versatility.
A mini-split, or ductless split, is an HVAC system without ductwork, comprising indoor and outdoor units for cooling or heating specific areas with targeted air distribution.

Comfort preferences vary, but maintaining consistent temperatures within the ranges of 68-72°F for heating and 70-75°F for cooling is commonly recommended for optimal comfort and efficiency.

In HVAC, “V” typically denotes ventilation, referring to the exchange of air within a space, either through exhaust or fresh air intake.
While not generally recommended, if covering an AC unit, ensure proper ventilation to prevent damage. Additionally, disable electrical connections to avoid unintended operation.
AC freezing is often due to insufficient airflow across the coil, attributed to factors like improper fan speed, dirty filters, coils, or malfunctioning fan motors.
The impact of closing air ducts varies based on system design. While some systems tolerate partial closure, it’s advisable to consult HVAC professionals for guidance.
MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rates filter effectiveness on a scale of 1-16, indicating particle-trapping capabilities. Higher ratings denote finer filtration but may affect airflow, necessitating professional assessment.
A hybrid heating system utilizes multiple fuel sources, such as gas, electric, or solar, for heating, maximizing efficiency and flexibility.

what our clients say About us

I chose Origin from about 6 area contenders for a new furnace install. While others offered much longer warranties, we still chose this company for their prompt service, longstanding history, professionalism, competitive pricing, and ease. I had heard well of them from coworkers and the team completed our installation exactly the date and time frame they stated. Just had inspectors and code come out, no issues. Great install and awesome team. Special thanks to Derek for the easy quote process and for actually looking at the furnace, taking measurements, and asking questions on what I needed (4 of the 6 other companies just took a quick peak, provided an estimate within 5 minutes, and took no measurements or asked any preferences). I look forward to working with thus company. Derek even provided a referral fee after-the-fact when I completely forgot about it. Thanks for the great install and service!!

We've used Origin for over a decade and have their service contract. They have always provided AMAZING service! Today, we had another great tech; Eric was efficient and very knowledgable about our units. He provided useful advice and improved the operation of our A/C unit. We love this company!

The technician who came to clean my ducts thought he would be doing a normal residential system, not realizing that I have two furnaces for separate parts of the house--something the company usually does over two days. But since I live far out, he rolled up his shirtsleeves and got stuck in. He worked non-stop until late into the evening, clocking several hours of overtime without a lunch break. The work was thorough and he even took extra time to teach me how to change filters and make improvements to my system. Pat deserves MORE than 5 stars!!
