As the heart of your home’s comfort, your HVAC system should always receive the care it deserves. After all, it works day and night to maintain the proper temperature. While most maintenance duties are best left to the pros, it also pays to take proactive steps on your own.
AirWorks, Inc., your HVAC repair and replacement expert, shares some handy tips.
Catch Problems Early
Performing a visual inspection regularly can help you spot HVAC problems in their infancy. By addressing them promptly, you lessen the risks of costly damage and emergency breakdowns. Some of the warning signs that could require professional help include sluggish fans, dirty evaporator or condenser coils, and frozen coils.
Replace Your Filters Often
One of the most vital steps in heating and air condition maintenance is changing the air filters at least every three months. This way, your HVAC equipment can work efficiently to move the air, thus reducing the wear and tear on the system. This will also cut your energy costs and save you money down the road. During peak heating and cooling seasons, it’s also best to check the filters every month and replace them once they have amassed excessive dirt and debris.
Pay Attention to Your Thermostat
To keep your utility bills from getting out of hand, make sure your thermostat is working properly. If you have an old, mechanical thermostat, consider switching to a programmable one. This will allow you to set the temperatures according to your schedule so your HVAC system will perform optimally when you’re at home and ease on energy usage when you’re away. In turn, you can enjoy better comfort without worrying about skyrocketing costs.
