Prepping your HVAC system for the cooler months is essential for a comfortable and cozy home. And you don’t have to be an expert or sort this out alone. Here’s a simple guide from a reliable HVAC and furnace replacement company to help you out.
Replacing or cleaning air filters is not just a simple step but a critical one. When air filters are clogged, the airflow in your home decreases while the system’s energy use increases. This could lead to a significant spike in energy bills and put the system under undue stress.
Seasonal changes also means updating the thermostat settings to meet the comfort needs of your household. Keep the temperature lower at night and set your thermostat to activate your furnace 30 minutes before you wake up to keep things nice and toasty. If, however, the thermostat needs replacing, consider a programmable thermostat, which you can configure to provide consistent comfort for certain times of the day. With this, you get to save money on energy savings.
Air ducts that are clogged with dirt or dust can significantly reduce the effectiveness and efficiency of your heating system. Professional technicians can perform a quick clean and repair of your ductwork. This is to ensure that the heated air is being distributed evenly throughout your home.
It’s always beneficial to have a professional furnace and heat pump repair technician look at your system, especially now that summer is slowly transitioning to fall. They can perform a more detailed inspection and fix issues before they become more serious and more expensive to deal with.
Your home comfort system’s outdoor unit is exposed to the elements and should be given attention as well. Check the surrounding area around the unit for any fallen leaves and other debris. These obstructions can hinder airflow, reducing the heating and cooling equipment’s efficiency and affecting its performance.
Before the peak of the heating season, perform a test run of your furnace or heat pump. As you do so, take note of any weird noises, inexplicable smells, or any other hint of inefficiency or performance problems. If anything comes up that’s out of the ordinary, get in touch with your local technician as soon as possible.
