Many homeowners believe setting the thermostat far below the desired temperature will cool the house more quickly, but that's a common misconception. Most residential air conditioning systems operate at a consistent cooling rate. Setting the thermostat much lower simply tells the system to keep running until it reaches that temperature, which can result in unnecessary energy use and a home that becomes colder than intended. Setting the thermostat to your desired comfort level allows your HVAC system to work efficiently while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.

Disposable and washable air filters each have their advantages. Disposable filters are convenient to replace and are available in a variety of filtration levels, making them a popular choice for many homeowners. Washable filters can be reused, reducing waste and replacement costs, but they require regular cleaning and must be completely dry before reinstallation to perform effectively. The best option depends on your HVAC system, indoor air quality needs, maintenance routine, and manufacturer recommendations. Using the correct filter and replacing or cleaning it on schedule helps support efficient airflow and reliable system performance.

Not sure which air filter is right for your home? Contact Ken's Heating & Air Conditioning for expert advice, professional HVAC maintenance, and solutions that keep your system operating at its best year-round.

Pet hair and dander can circulate throughout your home and collect in the HVAC filter. As buildup increases, the filter can become clogged and restrict airflow, making your heating and cooling system work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Homes with multiple pets or heavy shedders may need more frequent filter checks. Regularly inspecting and replacing dirty filters can support better airflow, indoor air quality, and HVAC performance.

Love your pets but not what they leave in the air? Contact Ken's Heating & Air Conditioning for professional HVAC maintenance to help keep your home comfortable and your system running smoothly.

A properly functioning HVAC system typically runs in steady cycles to reach and maintain your desired temperature. Short cycling happens when the system turns on, runs briefly, shuts off, and then starts again soon afterward.

Several issues can contribute to short cycling, including a dirty air filter, thermostat problems, restricted airflow, an oversized HVAC system, refrigerant issues, or malfunctioning components. Frequent starting and stopping can increase energy use, create uneven temperatures, and place unnecessary wear on the system.

If your HVAC seems to be constantly switching on and off, it is worth having the cause professionally diagnosed rather than ignoring the pattern.

Is your HVAC system turning into an on-again, off-again relationship? Contact Ken's Heating & Air Conditioning to find the cause and help your system get back to steady, reliable performance.

08/21/2026

When you change the thermostat, it compares your selected temperature with the current indoor temperature. If heating or cooling is needed, the thermostat sends a signal to your HVAC system to begin operating.

For cooling, components such as the compressor, evaporator coil, and blower work together to remove heat from your indoor air and circulate cooled air throughout your home. Once the desired temperature is reached, the thermostat signals the system to stop. The process starts again whenever the indoor temperature moves outside the thermostat’s set range.

Frequently making extreme thermostat adjustments will not necessarily heat or cool your home faster. A properly functioning system is designed to reach your selected temperature at its normal operating rate.

Curious whether your HVAC system is responding the way it should? Contact Ken's Heating & Air Conditioning for professional service that helps keep your home comfortable and your system performing properly.

08/17/2026

When ice forms on an air conditioner, it often means the evaporator coil has become cold enough for moisture in the air to freeze. Common causes include a dirty air filter, blocked airflow, dirty evaporator coils, blower problems, or low refrigerant levels.

Continuing to run a frozen AC can put additional strain on the system and may lead to more damage. If you notice ice, turn off the cooling system and avoid trying to chip the ice away. Once it has thawed, a professional can inspect the system and identify what caused the freezing.

Spotted ice where it definitely does not belong? Contact Ken's Heating & Air Conditioning to get your AC professionally inspected and your home comfortable again.

Ductless mini-split systems have become a popular choice for homeowners because they offer flexible, energy-efficient comfort without the need for existing ductwork. They're ideal for room additions, garages, home offices, basements, or older homes where installing traditional ductwork may not be practical.

Mini-splits also allow you to control the temperature in individual rooms, helping reduce energy waste while keeping each space comfortable. With quiet operation and year-round heating and cooling capabilities, they're a smart solution for many different homes and lifestyles.

Thinking about adding comfort to a specific room or upgrading your HVAC system? Talk to the experts at Ken's Heating & Air Conditioning and discover if a ductless mini-split is the right solution for your home.

No one wants their heating or cooling system to stop working on the hottest or coldest day of the year. The best way to reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns is through routine maintenance.

Stay ahead of unexpected HVAC problems before they disrupt your comfort. Schedule preventive maintenance with Ken's Heating & Air Conditioning and keep your system running at its best all year long.
