Keeping Your Home Comfortable in Every Season
At ABC Air Conditioning & Heating, we understand the importance of a well-functioning HVAC system. As a licensed Furna specialist, our team is dedicated to providing top-notch service and expert advice to keep your home comfortable year-round. Here are some valuable tips to help you maintain your HVAC system and ensure optimal performance throughout the seasons.
1. Regular Maintenance is Key
One of the most crucial aspects of HVAC care is regular maintenance. Schedule professional check-ups twice a year, ideally in spring and fall, to prepare your system for the upcoming season. During these visits, our ABC Air Conditioning and Heating Specialist Inc™ technicians will:
- Clean or replace air filters
- Check refrigerant levels
- Inspect electrical connections
- Lubricate moving parts
- Test system controls
2. Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clear
Ensure that your outdoor unit has plenty of clearance from vegetation, debris, and other obstructions. Aim for at least two feet of space around the unit to allow for proper airflow and easy access for maintenance.
3. Optimize Your Thermostat Settings
Investing in a programmable thermostat can lead to significant energy savings. Set your thermostat to adjust temperatures automatically based on your daily schedule. During summer, aim for a temperature of 78°F (26°C) when you’re home and awake, and increase it by 7-10 degrees when you’re away or asleep. In winter, set the temperature to 68°F (20°C) when you’re home and awake, and lower it by 7-10 degrees when you’re away or asleep.
4. Don’t Neglect Your Air Ducts
Clean air ducts contribute to better indoor air quality and improved system efficiency. Schedule professional duct cleaning every 3-5 years, or more frequently if you have pets, allergies, or live in a dusty area.
5. Pay Attention to Warning Signs
Be alert to potential issues with your HVAC system. Contact ABC Air Conditioning & Heating if you notice:
- Unusual noises or odors
- Inconsistent heating or cooling
- Increased energy bills
- Poor indoor air quality
