Dilbert asked:


Or should we try to do the cleaning ourselves? It’s a three bedroom house on a slab foundation, built about 35 years ago.

Assume it has years of gunk and grime obstructing the air flow, causing the air conditioning to be inefficient and underpowered. Assume the coolant is fine, and give a ballpark estimate based on not needing anything but cleaning. I assume condensation on the coil would attract the most gunk and grime over the years, so that’s probably what needs the most cleaning. But how hard is it to even get to that to clean it?

Christopher B asked:


My wife and I are looking at houses and I was wondering how do you check the age of an HVAC system without bringing in a professional? Often the listing agents don’t know. I just want to know what to look for when doing a preliminary glance. Of course any house I bid on I will have a proper inspection done, but it would be helpful if I could at least be able to tell how old the duct work is and some other basic things. Any suggestions, websites etc.?

I work for an HVAC contractor writing service proposals and I need to get an in-depth answer to this question so that the customer can understand the purpose of the equipment and also why it needs to be replaced. Thanks.

I specified a fan that is 35.5″ square for an office renovation and I fear it will not fit through the doorway with the frame. How much would this cost typically?

My Central HVAC ticks several times very loudly (noise resembles the sound of a gas grill starter) on start up occasionally and always upon shutdown. Happens with both heat and A/C.
