  1. What Size AC Do I Need? A Sizing Guide for Inland Empire Homes
    Sep 24, 2026 · original
    By Abe Duarte, Ace Home Heating & Air Conditioning Getting the size wrong is the most expensive mistake in an AC installation, and it is also the most common. Bigger is not better. Here is how sizing actually works, why square footage alone is not enough, and what to ask before you buy. How is air conditioner size measured? Cooling capacity is measured in tons, which has nothing to do with weight. One ton equals 12,000 BTUs of cooling per hour, a holdover from how much cooling a ton of ice provided in a day. Residential systems typically range from about one and a half to five tons. The instinct is to assume a bigger number means better cooling. In practice an oversized system performs worse than a correctly sized one, and it costs more to buy and run. Why is an oversized AC a problem? An oversized system cools the air to the thermostat setpoint quickly and shuts off. That sounds good un
  2. AC Compressor Failure: Repair or Replace?
    Sep 22, 2026 · original
    By Abe Duarte, Ace Home Heating & Air Conditioning The compressor is the most expensive component in your air conditioner, so a compressor diagnosis changes the whole conversation. Here is how to tell whether yours is really failing, what causes it, and how to decide between repair and replacement without guessing. What does the compressor actually do? The compressor is the pump at the heart of the cooling cycle. It compresses refrigerant gas, raising its pressure and temperature so that heat can be released outside and the refrigerant can cycle back to absorb more heat indoors. Without it, refrigerant does not move and no cooling happens. It lives in the outdoor unit, it is the single most expensive part of the system, and it is the component whose failure most often prompts a replace rather than repair conversation. What are the signs of compressor failure? The outdoor unit hums but th
  3. Thermostat Problems: Why Your HVAC Will Not Follow the Setting
    Sep 17, 2026 · original
    By Abe Duarte, Ace Home Heating & Air Conditioning Before you assume the furnace or AC has failed, check the thing telling it what to do. Thermostat faults imitate almost every major HVAC problem, and they are usually the cheapest thing in the system to fix. How do I know if the thermostat is the problem? A few patterns point at the thermostat rather than the equipment: The display is blank, dim, or resetting itself. The room temperature reading is obviously wrong compared to another thermometer. The system runs constantly and never satisfies, or never starts at all. Settings will not save, or the schedule reverts on its own. Heating and cooling behave inconsistently from one day to the next. The quickest sanity check: set the temperature well past the current room reading, eight to ten degrees in the direction you want. If the system responds immediately, the thermostat is communicating
  4. Heat Pump Not Heating? A Troubleshooting Guide for Inland Empire Homes
    Sep 15, 2026 · original
    By Abe Duarte, Ace Home Heating & Air Conditioning Heat pumps behave differently than furnaces, and several things that look like failures are completely normal. Here is how to tell ordinary heat pump behavior from an actual fault, and what to check before you call. Why does my heat pump blow air that feels cool? Start here, because this is the most common non problem we get called about. A gas furnace produces air well above body temperature, so it feels hot on your hand. A heat pump produces air that is warmer than room temperature but often below body temperature. Put your hand in front of a vent and it can feel cool even while the system is heating the house correctly. The test that matters is not how the air feels. It is whether the room reaches the temperature you set, in a reasonable time. If it does, the system is working as designed. Heat pumps heat gradually with longer cycles
  5. Are High-Efficiency Furnaces Worth It in Riverside?
    Sep 10, 2026 · original
    By Abe Duarte, Ace Home Heating & Air Conditioning High-efficiency furnaces cost more up front and promise lower bills. In a climate with a short heating season, that promise is weaker than the brochure suggests. Here is how to tell whether the upgrade pays off in a Riverside home, and when the money belongs somewhere else. What does furnace efficiency actually measure? Furnace efficiency is expressed as AFUE, or Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. It is the percentage of the fuel you buy that becomes usable heat in your home. An 80 percent AFUE furnace turns 80 cents of every fuel dollar into heat and sends the rest up the flue as exhaust. A 96 percent unit wastes far less. Furnaces are generally grouped into two categories. Standard efficiency units sit in the low to mid 80s. High-efficiency condensing furnaces reach the 90s by extracting additional heat from the exhaust gases before v
  6. When Should You Replace Your Heating System? A Southern California Guide
    Sep 8, 2026 · original
    By Abe Duarte, Ace Home Heating & Air Conditioning Furnaces in Southern California live an unusual life. They sit unused most of the year, then work hard for a few months. That changes how they age and when replacement actually makes sense. Here is how to judge it without guessing. How long should a furnace last in Southern California? Longer than in most of the country, and that is the part homeowners tend to underestimate. A furnace in Minnesota runs continuously for months. The same unit in Riverside might run a fraction of those hours in a year. Less runtime means less wear on the burners, the blower, and the heat exchanger, so it is genuinely common to see furnaces here still working well past the point where a national average would call them finished. The flip side is that sitting idle has its own costs. Dust settles into components, rodents and insects find their way into units t
  7. Furnace vs Heat Pump: Which Is Better for Inland Empire Homes?
    Sep 3, 2026 · original
    By Abe Duarte, Ace Home Heating & Air Conditioning Most heating comparisons are written for climates that get real winters. The Inland Empire is not one of them, and that changes the answer. Here is how furnaces and heat pumps actually compare for a Riverside home, and which one fits which situation. What is the actual difference between a furnace and a heat pump? A furnace makes heat. A heat pump moves it. A gas furnace burns natural gas in a combustion chamber and pushes the resulting warm air through your ducts. It creates heat on demand and does not care how cold it is outside. A heat pump works like an air conditioner running backwards. It extracts heat from outdoor air, even air that feels cold to you, and moves it inside. Because it is transferring existing heat rather than generating new heat, it can deliver more heating energy than the electrical energy it consumes. In summer it
  8. Why Is My Furnace Making Noise? What Each Sound Actually Means
    Sep 1, 2026 · original
    By Abe Duarte, Ace Home Heating & Air Conditioning Furnaces are not silent, but they are consistent. When the sound changes, the system is telling you something specific. Here is how to read banging, squealing, rattling, and booming, and which of them mean shut it off now. Is furnace noise always a problem? No. Every furnace makes some sound: the blower starting, air moving through ducts, sheet metal expanding slightly as it warms. What matters is change. A noise your system has always made is usually just its character. A noise that appeared this season is worth investigating, and a few sounds mean stop immediately. The useful diagnostic question is not how loud the sound is, but when it happens. A noise at startup points somewhere different than a noise that runs the whole cycle or one that only appears at shutdown. What does banging or booming at startup mean? This is the one to take
  9. Furnace Will Not Ignite? Pilot Light and Ignition Problems Explained
    Aug 27, 2026 · original
    By Abe Duarte, Ace Home Heating & Air Conditioning A furnace that clicks, hums, and then quits is almost always an ignition problem. Here is what is actually happening inside the unit, the handful of causes we see most in Riverside homes, and the point where you should stop and call a licensed technician. Why will my furnace not ignite? Your furnace will not ignite because something is interrupting the sequence that lights the burners. Every gas furnace follows the same basic order: the thermostat calls for heat, the draft inducer clears the flue, the igniter heats up or the pilot flame is confirmed, the gas valve opens, and the burners light. Break any link in that chain and the system shuts itself down on purpose. That shutdown is a safety feature, not a malfunction. A furnace that refuses to light is doing exactly what it was designed to do when a condition is not right. The job is to
