Frequently Asked Questions

You should schedule HVAC maintenance at least twice a year—once before cooling season and once before heating season. Regular tune-ups, filter replacements, and system inspections help prevent costly repairs and maintain efficiency. At Lunar Air Services Inc., our year-round maintenance plans ensure your system runs reliably in Southern California's climate.

Central AC uses ductwork to distribute cool air throughout your home, while ductless mini-splits deliver air directly to individual rooms without ducts. Mini-splits offer zone control and are ideal for homes without existing ductwork. Both systems can be energy-efficient when properly sized and installed.

If your furnace is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or has rising energy bills, replacement often makes more sense than continued repairs. Modern high-efficiency units can significantly reduce heating costs. At Lunar Air Services Inc., we perform energy efficiency evaluations to help you make the best decision.

Yes, heat pumps provide year-round comfort by cooling your home in summer and heating it in winter using the same system. They're energy-efficient and ideal for mild climates like Canoga Park. Heat pumps transfer heat rather than generate it, which reduces energy consumption compared to traditional systems.

Professional duct cleaning removes accumulated dust, debris, and allergens from your ventilation system, which improves the air you breathe indoors. Clean ducts also enhance system efficiency by allowing better airflow. This service is especially beneficial for households with allergies, pets, or respiratory concerns.

Installation costs depend on system size, brand selection, existing ductwork condition, and energy efficiency ratings. Proper sizing is critical—undersized or oversized units waste energy and reduce comfort. At Lunar Air Services Inc., we specialize in Daikin and Goodman brands with energy efficiency optimization to match your home's needs.

Smart thermostats optimize temperature control, learn your schedule, and allow remote adjustments from your phone, which can lower energy bills by up to 15%. They also provide system alerts and maintenance reminders. Professional installation ensures compatibility with your HVAC system and proper configuration for maximum efficiency.

The biggest mistake is ignoring early warning signs like unusual noises, weak airflow, or rising energy bills, which leads to more expensive repairs or full system failure. Timely diagnostics and component replacement prevent breakdowns. At Lunar Air Services Inc., we offer 24/7 emergency cooling repairs to address urgent issues fast.

Air purification systems remove airborne contaminants, which reduces strain on your HVAC filters and improves overall system efficiency. They also create healthier indoor environments by eliminating pollutants, odors, and allergens. Combining purification with humidity control solutions maximizes comfort and air quality.

Yes, seasonal checkups catch small issues before they become major problems and ensure safe, efficient operation during heating season. Inspections include testing safety controls, checking for carbon monoxide leaks, and cleaning components. Regular furnace maintenance extends equipment lifespan and prevents emergency heating failures.

High-efficiency units reduce energy consumption by 20–40%, lower monthly utility bills, and provide more consistent comfort with quieter operation. Many also qualify for rebates or tax incentives. At Lunar Air Services Inc., we perform energy-saving improvements and ensure proper installation for maximum performance and reliability.

Emergency HVAC services are available 24/7 with fast response times for urgent system failures like complete AC or heating breakdowns. At Lunar Air Services Inc., we prioritize emergency calls to restore comfort quickly, especially during extreme weather conditions common in the Los Angeles area.
