What Are the Benefits of Ductless Mini Split Systems?

 

Here are six of the best, no-cost suggestions for air conditioning maintenance. These tips can help keep air conditioning systems healthy as the weather gets warmer and homeowners will begin turning on their units.

  1. Clean around outdoor condenser unit. Your outdoor unit will work most efficiently if it is clean and clear of debris. A more thorough, in-depth cleaning should be performed by a professional at minimum once each year.
  2. Vacuum indoor vents and keep vents unblocked. You can vacuum dust and any debris away from indoor supply vents to help maintain steady airflow from your system. Also, keep items like blinds, furniture and toys away from blocking the vents.
  3. Increase your thermostat by a few degrees. Typically, adjusting temperatures 5 – 8 degrees (down in winter, up in summer) can help save money and energy. With a programmable thermostat, you can automatically adjust the temperature for different times of the day or during times you are going to be away from home for several hours.
  4. Keep lamps and other heat producing appliances away from your thermostat. Having heat producing appliances near your thermostat will tell it that the air in your home needs to be cooled more, causing the system to run longer and work harder than it may need to.
  5. Keep curtains and blinds closed in the heat of the day. When direct sun hits the windows in your home, keeping your curtains or blinds closed can keep some of the heat from warming the inside of your home.
  6. Avoid using your dryer and oven in the hottest hours of the day. Running your dryer will cause warm air to be drawn into your home and using your oven will add additional warm air to your home, causing your air conditioner to have to work harder.

You don’t always have to spend a lot of money to maintain the investment you’ve made in your air conditioning system.

Understanding the different parts of your HVAC system and keeping it running efficiently will keep your system in top working condition for when you need it most this summer. We recommend using the helpful tips described above along with regular maintenance to save money and reduce the chance of a problem developing with your system.
