Your HVAC System – The Heart of Your Home
February is National Heart Month, and just like it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, to take care of your heart, to make sure you live a long life, the same goes for your HVAC system. It is easy to think that your systems will run properly all on their own, but it is important to keep a few things in mind to help ensure your HVAC protection and that your system lasts a long time. We came up with this list of tips for protecting your HVAC system
Top 4 Tips for Protecting Your HVAC System
- Make sure you have the right size HVAC unit for your home. If the unit is too small it will overwork itself, therefore wearing it out quickly. If the unit is too large, it may short cycle.
- Have your unit installed by a professional. When a certified technician installs your HVAC unit, you can feel confident that it will work properly year-round, minimizing the frequency of repairs and allowing for greater energy-efficiency.
- Keep an eye out for issues. Just like with your own heart, it is important to look for tell-tale signs that it is time to get some professional help. If you notice odd noises coming from the unit, that your energy bill is suddenly higher, or that the temperature is constantly fluctuating in your house, it might be time to call an HVAC expert. Catching smaller issues quickly can ultimately save you from having to repair a much bigger problem later on.
- Schedule regular maintenance. This is probably the most important element of keeping your HVAC unit in tip-top shape.
