Frequently Asked Questions About Hanson's Plumbing & Heating - Vergas
Should you cover your AC unit in the winter?
Your air conditioner is built to withstand the harsh elements – including Minnesota winters! We recommend not covering your unit during the colder months.
What is considered a high efficiency air conditioner?
An air conditioner with a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating of over 13 is considered high efficiency. However, it depends on the size of the space and personal cooling preferences.
What is the best ductless heating and cooling system?
We recommend Bryant ductless systems for quiet and reliable heating and cooling without with dirty or leaking ductwork. We offer multiple energy efficient models and sizes for any interior space.
What is geothermal heating and cooling?
Also known as water-source heat pumps, geothermal uses the constant temperature of the earth as the exchange medium to heat, cool, and in some cases, supply, the home with hot water.
What is the best home air purification system?
Hanson’s recommends the Evolution® Perfect Air™ or the Preferred™ Series from Bryant for your home’s air purification needs. Bryant air purifiers capture up to 95 percent of particles and kill up to 99 percent of captured germs, pollen, and mold for higher quality, healthier indoor air.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
When your furnace breaks down, repairs can be costly. You may want to consider replacing the unit all together. Consider the age of your system, how often you need to schedule repairs, and your utility bills. If it’s 15 years or older, repairing it may be cost prohibitive. Newer units are much more energy efficient and can save you money down the road.
How much does a plumber cost?
Depending on the work needed, you can expect to pay anywhere between $45 - $200 per hour for plumbing services. This can include repairs or general maintenance like faucets, toilets, sinks, or showers. Many plumbers charge a flat rate or service fee, while others charge an hourly rate that is contingent on the work performed.
Does homeowner’s insurance cover plumbing?
Your homeowners’ policy should cover any unexpected damage due to a plumbing malfunction such as a broken or burst pipe. However, damage incurred gradually over time like a slow leak, as well as flooding due to excessive rain/snow melt are typically not covered. Water damage can cause enough damage that you would need repairs to your home’s structure, replace destroyed property, or possibly forcing you to relocate temporarily.
