Frequently Asked Questions

Your HVAC Questions Answered

At Meridian Air Conditioning & Heating, we understand that choosing and maintaining an HVAC system can be complex. To help you make informed decisions, we've compiled answers to our most frequently asked questions. Whether you need information on installations, repairs, maintenance, or energy efficiency, our FAQs cover everything you need to know to ensure your comfort.

  • What is a UVC Air Scrubber, and why should I install one?

    A UVC Air Scrubber is an advanced device that integrates with your HVAC system to improve indoor air quality. It uses ultraviolet (UV) light to destroy airborne bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and other pathogens, significantly reducing the risk of airborne illnesses. 


    Installing a UVC Air Scrubber is particularly beneficial for individuals with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues, as it helps maintain a cleaner, healthier indoor environment. Additionally, it can reduce odors and prolong the life of your HVAC system by keeping the air ducts and components cleaner. Overall, it’s a smart investment in your health and comfort.

  • What signs indicate that my HVAC system needs repair?

    Common signs that your HVAC system may need repair include unusual noises like banging or grinding, inconsistent temperatures across different rooms, weak or uneven airflow, frequent cycling (turning on and off), or a sudden increase in energy bills. 


    If you notice that your system is struggling to maintain comfort or if there are strange odors or leaks around your unit, these could also be indicators of underlying issues. Ignoring these signs can lead to more significant problems, potentially causing a complete system breakdown. Prompt attention from Meridian Air Conditioning & Heating can prevent costly repairs and keep your system operating efficiently.

  • Why should I consider a new system replacement?

Newer HVAC systems are designed with advanced technology that enhances energy efficiency, providing better comfort control and reducing energy consumption. 


    A new system can also improve indoor air quality and is likely to come with a warranty, offering peace of mind. While the upfront cost of a replacement may seem high, the long-term savings on energy bills and reduced repair costs can make it a financially sound decision.
