We’re homeowners, parents, and neighbors—just like you. That’s why we founded Summit Heating & Cooling: to offer exceptional service with affordable pricing. We understand the challenges of running a home, and our goal is to make it easier and less stressful for you.

  • What HVAC services does Summit Heating & Cooling provide in Southern NH?
    Summit Heating & Cooling provides residential heating and cooling maintenance and repair services including annual preventative cleanings on oil burners, gas furnaces, central air systems, and ductless mini splits, as well as diagnostics and repairs. This ensures your home is always at the peak of comfort, year round. Even in this Southern NH weather!
  • What are the benefits of regular HVAC maintenance?
    Regular HVAC maintenance helps extend the life of your system, improves energy efficiency, and reduces the likelihood of breakdowns. Scheduling annual maintenance ensures your system runs at peak performance all year long.
  • How can I prevent my pipes from freezing in the winter?
    To prevent pipes from freezing, keep your home’s temperature above 55°F, open cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate, and insulate exposed pipes. Regular heating system maintenance can also help prevent issues in colder weather.
  • How often should I schedule heating system maintenance?
    It’s recommended to schedule heating system maintenance at least once a year, ideally in the fall, to ensure your furnace or heating system runs efficiently and prevents costly repairs during winter.
  • What are the signs that my furnace needs repair or replacement?
    Common signs that your furnace may need repair or replacement include strange noises, uneven heating, higher energy bills, or if the unit is more than 15 years old. Contact your Summit Heating & Cooling repair experts in Southern NH to assess your system.
  • What is the average cost of furnace installation in Southern NH?
    The cost of furnace installation in Southern NH varies depending on the size of your home, the type of system, and the complexity of the job. For an accurate estimate, contact Summit Heating & Cooling for a free quote.
  • Why is my heating system blowing cold air?
    If your heating system is blowing cold air, it could be due to a thermostat issue, clogged air filters, or a problem with the pilot light. Contact the Summit Heating & Cooling HVAC technicians in Southern NH for a quick diagnosis and repair.
  • What is the best thermostat setting for winter?
    For optimal comfort and energy savings, set your thermostat to around 68°F during the day in the winter and lower it by a few degrees at night or when you’re away from home.
  • How can I improve energy efficiency with my heating system?
    To improve energy efficiency, regularly maintain your heating system, upgrade to a programmable thermostat, and seal any leaks in your ductwork. Consider energy-efficient models during furnace replacement to reduce utility bills.
  • Do you offer emergency heating repair services?
    Yes, Summit Heating & Cooling does our best to provide emergency heating repair services in Southern NH to ensure your home stays warm and comfortable during unexpected breakdowns.
  • What are the advantages of a ductless mini-split system?
    Ductless mini-split systems offer several advantages, including zoned cooling, improved energy efficiency, easy installation, and the ability to heat and cool without ductwork. They’re ideal for room additions, garages, and homes without ducts.
  • Can a mini-split system both heat and cool?
    Yes, mini-split systems offer both heating and cooling functions. They come with a heat pump, allowing them to provide efficient heating in colder months and cooling during the summer.
  • Do mini-split systems save energy?
    Yes, mini-split systems are highly energy-efficient because they allow for zoned cooling and heating, meaning you can control the temperature in individual rooms instead of cooling the entire house, which reduces energy waste.
  • What is the difference between central air and mini-split systems?
    Central air uses ductwork to distribute cool air throughout the home, while mini-split systems offer zoned cooling without ducts. Mini-splits are ideal for homes without ductwork or for specific room cooling.
  • How much does it cost to install a mini-split system?
    The cost of mini-split installation varies depending on the number of units needed, the complexity of installation, and the system's capacity. Contact us for a personalized quote based on your home’s needs.
  • How often should I service my central air conditioning system?
    It’s recommended to schedule central air conditioning maintenance once a year, preferably before summer, to ensure optimal performance and avoid unexpected breakdowns.
  • What is the average lifespan of a central air conditioning unit?
    A well-maintained central air conditioning unit typically lasts between 12 to 15 years. Regular AC maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your system.
  • How do I know what size air conditioner I need?
    The size of your AC unit depends on your home’s square footage and insulation. Our Summit Heating & Cooling HVAC experts can perform a load calculation to determine the best air conditioner size for your home to maximize efficiency and comfort.
  • How often should I change my AC filters?
    For optimal performance, AC filters should be changed every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage, filter type, and air quality in your home.
  • Is it normal for my central air conditioner to run constantly?
    During very hot days, your central air conditioner may run longer to maintain the set temperature. However, if it runs non-stop, it could indicate an issue such as a dirty filter, improper size, or a system that needs servicing.
