  • What size unit furnace or air conditioning unit do I need?

    Getting the right size HVAC system for your home is important. If your air conditioner is too small and remains on continuously, it runs the risk of breaking down sooner. If your AC is too large, it will not stay on long enough to properly circulate the air in your home. 


    The size of heat pumps, air conditioners, and furnaces is usually measured in tons. This measurement refers to how many tons of ice it can melt in 24 hours. The size of the HVAC system that's right for your home is calculated by our Royal Heating & Cooling, LLC engineers and Paul who work together to figure out a lot of small details. The general rule of thumb is about one ton per 500 feet of floor area. If you're in need of heating contractors in Wausau, WI to determine which size of unit is right for your home, contact our team today!

  • How often should I have my HVAC heating and cooling system serviced?

This will ensure everything from the blower (the internal motor) to the thermostat is running smoothly.

  • Do I need to worry about the outdoor HVAC unit components in the Wisconsin weather?

    While the HVAC professionals at Royal Heating & Cooling will inspect the mechanics, electronics, and dangerous parts, you should walk by the outdoor unit every few weeks to remove any leaves, weeds and debris, and dead rodents. These can collect around the machine and cause damage, electrical issues, and, in some cases, fires. Contact our team today so our heating contractors in Wausau, WI can address any issues your system may be experiencing. If you believe there's a major problem with your unit, we offer 24-hour emergency services in order to promptly address any issue.

  • What are furnace air ducts and how do they affect airflow?

    Air ducts are the passages to connect and move the warm or cool air to the house. Ducts need to be professionally cleaned to actually remove all the dust and pollutants. Ducts are insulated and sealed. Leaky air ducts lead to poor airflow and quality. 


    Sealing ducts in unfinished spaces, such as attics, basements, and crawl spaces, can improve efficiency by 20% or more depending on the efficiency of the furnace. If you believe there's an issue with your ducts, contact the heating contractors Wausau, WI residents have relied on for over 15 years. Royal Heating & Cooling is here to help ensure your ducts won't cause any problems in your home!

  • How can using an electronic programmable thermostat help me save money?

    Setting and programming a thermostat will stop your HVAC from running on overdrive. When used properly, it can help to save you as much as $180 per year in energy costs. Also, by using a programmable thermostat you can save yourself money when you're away on vacation, at work, or during the night. Contact Royal Heating & Cooling when you're in need of an HVAC service in Wausau, WI to install a programmable thermostat in your home.

  • How often should HVAC filters be replaced?

    Your filter should be changed every three months each season or more frequently if you have pets, smoke, or have allergens in the house. According to Webinar Care, AC units that receive regular maintenance cast last up to 40% longer. Each house or unit has a different filter size and some may even have more than one filter. Please talk to Paul and Royal Heating & Cooling before purchasing your filter to guarantee that you have the correct-sized one for your unit.


    Energy Star and other agencies that monitor energy efficiency report that changing the filter is a top DIY action item for a properly functioning HVAC system, as a dirty filter can increase energy costs and damage your equipment. Each time you replace the filter, you're helping to improve the air quality in the house. If you don't wish to replace the filter yourself, our team can place you on a service plan to have one of our many experienced heating contractors in Wausau, WI replace it for you!

  • What is a ductless air conditioner and how does it work?

    A ductless air conditioner is one that hangs on the wall and requires no ductwork or air handler to cool your house. They're known for being efficient and quiet. Most people cannot hear the unit running. Because this type of unit requires no ductwork, Royal Heating & Cooling can place it anywhere within your home.


    It can also be sold as an inverter and heat your home. One unit can have multiple heads that can be placed in different areas and on different floors. All the different heads can be run at different temperatures to ensure each section of your home feels comfortable. When you're in need of AC installation in Wausau, WI, contact our team!

  • What is the benefit of an on-demand water heater?

    An on-demand water heater only heats the water you need and takes up less space than a traditional tank unit. They supply four gallons of continuous hot water. An on-demand water heater also comes with a 15-year warranty which's unheard of in a traditional tank water heater.


    They're more energy efficient for many reasons. Tankless water heaters are usually powered by gas or electricity and use a powerful heat exchanger to raise the temperature of incoming cold water on demand. When you turn on the hot water, the tankless water heater starts heating the water right away. The heated water then flows through your pipes to the faucet or showerhead at the preset temperature. When you're looking to have an on-demand water heater installed in your home, contact the HVAC service Wausau, WI residents rely on!
