While it may be tempting to skip HVAC maintenance, regular upkeep is essential for keeping your system running smoothly. Routine tune-ups are a great start, but additional maintenance steps will ensure optimal performance. Here’s why:

  • Increased Efficiency: A well-maintained HVAC system consumes less energy, lowering your bills and benefiting the environment.
  • Consistent Comfort: A properly maintained system ensures reliable comfort throughout every season.
  • Longer Lifespan & Lower Costs: Addressing minor issues early can extend your system’s lifespan and reduce the need for costly repairs.

Simply put, taking care of your system will save you money and enhance your comfort. Here are a few proactive steps to help get you started:

  1. Filter Replacement: Find out how frequently you should be changing your filter and stick to that schedule. Check the filter regularly to ensure clean airflow and prevent obstructions.
  2. Clean & Seal Vents: Ensure vents and ductwork are clean and properly sealed to maintain air circulation.
  3. Test Thermostat Settings: Regularly check your thermostat to make sure it’s functioning correctly
  4. Outdoor Unit Maintenance: Gently clean your outdoor unit to remove leaves, dirt, snow, and other debris that could potentially block airflow.
  5. Seal Leaks: Weatherproof windows and doors and seal any other leaks in your home to keep the system running efficiently.

 

Pro Tip: Create a maintenance schedule so you always know when it’s time for a check-up.
