Best HVAC & Furnace Repair Services in Rapid City

Q: What does an HVAC services technician do?

A: An HVAC services technician can handle anything related to heating, ventilation, air conditioning, related electrical needs, and often, refrigeration. Their most common responsibilities include:

• HVAC equipment installation
• Emergency heating and cooling repairs
• Seasonal maintenance to increase efficiency
• Thermostat checks and fine-tuning
• Air quality testing and ductwork/ventilation service
• Checking and troubleshooting electrical connections
• Connecting HVAC equipment to refrigerant, fuel, and water lines

Q: Are HVAC service contracts worth it?

A: HVAC service contracts are agreements made between a customer and HVAC service provider at the time of HVAC installation for repairs that cover regular tune-ups and maintenance. Some of the benefits of an HVAC service contract include:

• Customers don't have to remember to schedule seasonal maintenance
• Scheduled maintenance can extend the overall lifespan of an HVAC system
• Getting tune-ups seasonally can increase the energy efficiency of the equipment
• Homeowners may save money by preventing emergency repairs

Q: Will replacing the HVAC system increase my home’s value?

A: While most homeowners only recoup 35% to 50% of their installation costs, a new HVAC system can be a major selling point that attracts potential buyers and results in a faster sale. The benefits depend on the local climate, the type of market, and the condition of the existing system. Aging or poorly maintained equipment may encourage buyers to submit lower offers, especially if problems are revealed during an inspection.
