It’s a New Year, which means you have a blank slate to do anything you want, whether it be to plan a holiday, or to lose weight, or perhaps to spend more quality time with your family. Whatever you want, be it smarter, better, cooler, or anything else, you can do it.
To help you be a better HVAC system owner here are some resolutions you can make to extend the life of your home heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
Remember to change your filters
Home filters need to be changed regularly to capture air pollutants effectively. If you can’t remember when last you changed your filters, it’s most likely been too long ago.
Tackle any duct leaks you have been avoiding
The loss of heat from duct leaks not only causes a lot of problems, it also costs a lot of money. Do regular visual inspections of your ducts and act as soon as you notice any leaks. If you don’t have the correct metallic foil tape for repairing ducts, give a professional a call to repair the cracks. This will save you money in the long run.
Clean your ducts
A great way to improve your indoor air quality is to have your ducts cleaned once in a while. Besides reducing your risk of airborne illness and mold growth, it also helps to make your home smell cleaner.
Try to acquire more HVAC knowledge
With some understanding of your HVAC you will be able to identify and address problems before they become disastrous.
Find the best HVAC maintenance company in your area
You really don’t want to worsen an already stressful situation by scrambling to find someone to call when a problem occurs. Plan ahead by finding out which local companies have the best reviews, technicians and service records.
