What is a heat pump and how does it work?
A heat pump is an all-in-one heating and cooling system that transfers heat rather than generating it. In winter, it extracts heat from the outside air (even cold air) and transfers it indoors. In summer, it reverses the process, moving heat from inside your home to the outside, providing efficient year-round comfort.
What's the difference between a furnace and a boiler?
A furnace heats air and distributes it through ductwork, providing forced-air heating. A boiler heats water to create steam or hot water, which is then circulated through pipes to radiators or radiant floor systems. Both are effective heating methods, but they use different distribution systems.
Answer of mostly asked questions to us
How long do HVAC systems typically last?
With proper installation and regular maintenance, a typical HVAC system (furnace, AC, heat pump) can last between 10 to 15 years, and sometimes up to 20 years. Neglecting maintenance can significantly shorten its lifespan.
What are the signs that my HVAC system needs repair?
Common signs include unusual noises (grinding, squealing), strange odors, inconsistent temperatures, weak airflow, frequent cycling on and off, or a sudden increase in energy bills. If you notice any of these, it's best to call a professional.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
Yes, Satrap HVAC offers comprehensive maintenance plans designed to keep your system running efficiently year-round. These plans often include seasonal tune-ups, priority service, and discounts on repairs. Contact us for details on our available packages.
What is a VRF system and is it right for my business?
VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) systems are advanced HVAC systems often used in commercial buildings. They allow for multiple indoor units to be connected to a single outdoor unit, providing precise temperature control for different zones and significant energy savings. They are ideal for businesses seeking flexible and efficient climate control.
Why you should consider Satrap HVAC
What is the importance of humidity control in my home?
Proper humidity control is crucial for comfort and health. Too much humidity can lead to mold growth and a sticky feeling, while too little can cause dry skin, static electricity, and damage to wood furnishings. We offer humidifiers and dehumidifiers to maintain optimal indoor humidity levels.
Can I install my own HVAC system?
HVAC installation is a complex process that requires specialized tools, technical knowledge, and adherence to safety codes. Improper installation can lead to inefficiencies, safety hazards, and voided warranties. We strongly recommend professional installation by certified technicians.
What areas do you serve?
Satrap HVAC proudly serves the Lower Mainland, including North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Coquitlam, Burnaby, Vancouver, and Surrey.
