With winter in full swing, it's important to ensure your HVAC system runs smoothly to keep your home warm and comfortable. Here are some tips to help you maintain your HVAC system during winter:
1. Change Your Air Filters Regularly
Dirty air filters can cause your HVAC system to work harder than it needs to, leading to higher energy bills and potential breakdowns. Change your air filters regularly, ideally once a month, to keep your HVAC system running smoothly.
2. Clear Your Outdoor Unit of Debris
If you have an outdoor HVAC unit, it's important to clear away any debris that has accumulated around it, such as leaves or branches. This will help ensure proper airflow and prevent damage to your unit.
3. Schedule Regular Maintenance
Regular maintenance by a professional HVAC technician can help prevent breakdowns and ensure your system runs as efficiently as possible. Schedule maintenance at least once a year, ideally before winter begins, to catch any potential issues before they become a problem.
4. Adjust Your Thermostat
Lowering your thermostat a few degrees can help save energy and reduce heating bills. Consider investing in a programmable thermostat that allows you to set different temperatures for different times of the day.
5. Insulate Your Home
Proper insulation can help keep your home warm and reduce the workload on your HVAC system. Ensure your home is properly insulated, especially in areas like the attic and basement.
