Frequently Asked Questions

Can I troubleshoot my heating system myself before calling a professional?

Homeowners can safely check a few basics, such as confirming the thermostat is set to heat, the furnace switch is on, and the air filter is not clogged, before calling for service. Anything involving gas, electrical components, or the heat exchanger needs a licensed technician. Cardinal Heating & Air Conditioning handles heating repairs for homes in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

Is it expensive to use emergency heat in Sun Prairie, WI?

Emergency heat, the backup electric resistance heat in a heat pump system, costs more to run than the heat pump’s normal mode, often 2 to 3 times as much per hour, so it should only be used short term until the primary system is repaired. Cardinal Heating & Air Conditioning repairs heat pumps for homeowners in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

Is radiant heat cheaper to run?

Radiant floor heating can be cheaper to run than forced air in some homes because it heats objects and people directly rather than air that rises and escapes, but installation costs are higher upfront, so the total cost depends on how long the homeowner stays in the house. Cardinal Heating & Air Conditioning compares heating systems for homeowners in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

Do Wisconsin homes need a permit to replace a heating system?

Wisconsin generally requires a permit to replace a furnace or other heating system since it involves gas or electrical connections and must meet current mechanical code. A licensed contractor pulls the permit and schedules the inspection. Cardinal Heating & Air Conditioning manages permitting for heating replacements in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin and Dane County.

Is HVAC maintenance hard?

Basic HVAC maintenance like changing filters monthly is simple for most homeowners, but thorough maintenance involving coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, and electrical testing requires training and equipment. Most systems need one to two professional tune-ups a year. Cardinal Heating & Air Conditioning provides maintenance plans for homes in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

What is baseboard heating?

Baseboard heating uses electric or hot water-filled units mounted low along a wall that warm the room through convection as air rises past the heating element, offering simple zone-by-zone control but generally higher operating costs than a central forced air system. Cardinal Heating & Air Conditioning services baseboard and central heating systems in Rock County, Wisconsin.

Is an HVAC tune-up worth it?

An HVAC tune-up, usually $80 to $200, is worth it because it catches minor issues before they become costly breakdowns, keeps warranty coverage valid on many systems, and helps the furnace or air conditioner run at peak efficiency all season. Cardinal Heating & Air Conditioning offers seasonal tune-ups for homeowners in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

How long does a typical heating system installation take?

A standard furnace or heat pump replacement usually takes 4 to 8 hours in a single day, though homes needing ductwork changes or an upgraded electrical panel can take longer. Cardinal Heating & Air Conditioning schedules most heating installations to finish in one visit for homeowners in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin and Columbia County.
