Show Your HVAC Some Love This Valentine’s Day

Roses are red,

violets are blue,

your HVAC system requires maintenance,

so it can provide for you.

It’s a reciprocal relationship. You and your HVAC system must work together to achieve your home heating and cooling goals. So, why not throw a little extra TLC your HVAC unit’s way this season? Here are the Weathermakers Air Conditioning & Heating, Inc. TLC tips that will keep your HVAC swooning for you, year-round.

HVAC TLC Tips

Pre-set Your Thermostat

Using a programmable thermostat will allow your heating and cooling system to run complete cycles. Set your thermostat to raise temperatures while you’re away, and cool down your space when you are scheduled to be home. This will not only prove convenient but also prevent excess wear and tear on your system.

Installing a programmable thermostat is beneficial to both your HVAC unit and yourself! Not only will this technology extend your HVAC unit’s lifespan, but it will also reduce your monthly operational costs.

Have Your Ducts Professionally Cleaned

How does your temperature-controlled air make it from your HVAC system to your home? Through pathways called air ducts. Think of your ducts as the roads in Florida. When there is traffic, it takes you longer to reach your destination, making your trip more difficult. The same applies here.

When your ducts are clogged and dirty, your HVAC system has to work harder to push the air through to your home. Not to mention, the air you are breathing is filled with dust and other particles that may compromise you and your family’s health.

Eventually, your overworked HVAC system will begin to take a toll on your ductwork, sprouting air leaks from clogged air, and you will need to call for early replacement. Have your ductwork professionally cleaned annually!

Change Your Air Filters

Just as ductwork does, air filters accumulate dust, dirt, and grime; and, over time slow your entire heating and cooling process down. To prevent your system from underperforming, change your air filters once a month. This will optimize your HVAC’s heating and cooling while maintaining good indoor air quality.

Get Yearly Check-Ups

Everyone and everything in life needs checking in on once in a while. And, your HVAC system is no different. Hire a professional HVAC technician to perform yearly maintenance on your heating and cooling network to keep your HVAC unit running with high efficiency, at lower costs.
