Have you been neglecting your home's HVAC system?
If you haven't been performing these simple maintenance tasks, you are likely reducing the lifespan of your HVAC system, and putting yourself at risk for costly repairs.
But, like most of life’s problems, this one, too, can be avoided.
First tip?
Change your air filter.
Over time your air filter will clog and the air quality within your home will diminish.
Your energy bills, too, will increase significantly, since your HVAC system now needs to work much harder to achieve the same effect.
While you’re checking out your air filter, it's also a great time to wipe away any dust and debris that’s collected around your HVAC system.
You’d be surprised at how much gunk can jam up in there over time.
As a rule of thumb, when you keep the system clean yourself, you save yourself a costly cleaning session with a professional.
And since people love to save money, let’s debunk a costly myth:
Many people believe that keeping your air vents closed will reduce your energy bills.
In reality, keeping the vents closed increases the pressure load, causing your system to work harder.
Our final tip:
Schedule regular HVAC system maintenance sessions with a professional.
We recommend having a tune-up at least once a year, or even better, at the beginning of each new heating/cooling season.
