Whether you’re scheduling your first service or considering a full system replacement, you likely have questions. At Rose Heating, we believe in clear communication and no-pressure guidance.
Below are answers to the most common questions our Portland-area customers ask about heating and cooling systems, repairs, maintenance, and more.
General HVAC Questions
What does HVAC stand for?
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. It includes all systems that regulate temperature, airflow, and indoor air quality.
How often should my HVAC system be serviced?
We recommend twice per year: once in spring for your AC and once in fall for your furnace. This keeps your system efficient and helps avoid breakdowns during extreme weather.
How do I know if I need to replace my HVAC system?
Signs include:
• Frequent repairs
• Rising energy bills
• Uneven heating or cooling
• System age over 12–15 years
Our replacement experts can help you determine if repair or replacement is the smarter long-term choice.
