The chilly air is here, which means most people are turning on the heat! But before it gets colder, consider doing some HVAC maintenance.
Lack of routine maintenance can actually increase the risk of problems occurring.
Some things you can do yourself if hiring an HVAC company isn't in the budget right now:
Change Your Air Filters
A rule of thumb here would be to change the heating and cooling system filter AT LEAST every 90 days. You must clean it more often if you live in a dusty environment.
Use Window Coverings
In the summer season, keeping windows closed and using blinds during the day reduces the temperature. On the other hand, keeping windows, drapes, and blinds open allows sunlight to enter the house.
Check Insulation and Seals
If your house is too old, the insulation might not be doing its job properly. Inadequate insulation can cause losing warm or cooled air from the HVAC system. You may also have to check the seals around windows and doors.
Maintain Cleanliness
Leaves, dirt, and grass can infiltrate the furnace and air conditioner. Make sure to regularly clean out any vegetation in the unit. Also, check for debris from time-to-time, especially on the outdoor coil unit of your air conditioner.
Time to Open Closed Vents
With closed vents, heated and cooled air cannot travel properly through your home. This makes your HVAC system work harder than before. It's best to open the vents and allow the HVAC system as it was designed.
Check for Clearance
Whether you have an HVAC system indoor or outdoor or maybe both, it's essential to check for clearance, ensuring that nothing obstructs the airflow.
Bottom Line
HVAC systems need proper and regular maintenance to function efficiently and extend their lifespan. The right HVAC system will keep your home warm or properly cooled or dehumidified for years to come.
