Changing your air filters regularly is a simple yet effective resolution that can greatly improve the performance of your HVAC system. Dirty filters can restrict airflow, making your system work harder and increasing energy consumption. By making a commitment to regularly change your filters, you can ensure that your system operates efficiently and effectively.

They can provide guidance on the frequency and type of filters needed for your specific system.

An expert repair technician can provide guidance on the best options for your home and help with the furnace installation process. By investing in a new system, you can enhance your comfort, save on energy costs, and improve the overall performance of your HVAC system. Make this resolution and enjoy a fresh start with a more efficient and reliable HVAC system in 2024.

Embracing Energy Efficiency Practices

In today’s world, where environmental consciousness is becoming increasingly important, embracing energy efficiency practices is a resolution that not only benefits your home but also the planet. By making small changes like adjusting your thermostat when you’re not at home or upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, you can reduce your carbon footprint and save on energy costs. Consider installing a programmable thermostat that automatically adjusts temperature settings based on your schedule, or investing in smart home technology that allows you to control your HVAC system remotely. Embrace energy efficiency practices and take a step towards a greener and more sustainable future for your home in 2024.

Scheduling Regular HVAC Inspections

Regular HVAC inspections are crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your system. By scheduling inspections with a professional technician, you can identify and address any potential issues before they escalate. Inspections also ensure that your system is running efficiently, which can save you money on energy costs in the long run.

Take the time to read your system’s manual, research online resources, or even attend workshops or webinars to expand your knowledge.

Understanding Furnace and AC Maintenance Plans

Repairs aren’t the only reason you should call an HVAC contractor. Like all machines, HVAC systems need regular maintenance to help optimize their performance and extend their life span. Nowadays, you can conveniently schedule routine tune-ups by getting heating and cooling maintenance plans. But, what exactly do these plans entail? Read on to understand what type of services they can include.

  • Changing or Cleaning Filters
    Every 3 months, HVAC filters need to be replaced or cleaned, depending on whether you use disposable or washable variants. If you have pets or people in your household that are prone to allergies, you can have the filters changed or washed more often to help maintain your home’s air quality.
  • Clearing Indoor Vent Openings
    Indoor vent openings need to be clear of any obstructions to ensure proper airflow to the HVAC system. The maintenance team can check if any changes in the home, like furniture relocation, block these vents.
  • Removing Debris From the Outdoor Unit
    The outdoor unit, which contains the condenser, is exposed to the elements. Dirt and debris enter the unit through its numerous openings and also accumulate on its exterior. It must be regularly cleaned to optimize its performance and restore airflow.
  • Checking Electrical Connections
    An essential part of a typical furnace and AC tune-up session is to inspect the system’s electrical connections. Maintenance professionals can help you find and repair loose wiring or faulty connections, which can be fire and electrocution hazards.
  • Inspecting the Thermostat
    The thermostat measures and regulates the temperature in your home. If it is broken or improperly calibrated, it will be difficult to control how hot or cold it should be at home. Most maintenance plans include inspecting and recalibrating the thermostat to ensure optimal system performance.
