Keep the Cold Out: Top HVAC Maintenance Tips for Winter
With winter fast approaching; yes, even here in Tampa Bay it gets cold. So, it’s time to ensure your home’s HVAC system is in top-notch condition. Let’s explore some expert tips to keep your sanctuary warm and comfortable.
1. Schedule Your Winter HVAC Tune-Up
This is non-negotiable. Having a certified technician inspect your system at least once a year, especially in the fall, can detect minor issues before they escalate, ensuring efficient operation throughout the chilly months.
Arrange for a certified technician to perform a detailed inspection. All it takes is a call/text to us and we’ll make sure everything from your furnace to your thermostat is in optimal condition, helping to prevent any unexpected breakdowns when you need your system the most!
2. Boost Efficiency by Regular Filter Replacement
Changing your filters is a simple task with a huge payoff. Dirty filters can restrict airflow, reduce the system’s efficiency, and degrade the air quality in your home.
Remember: Filters should be replaced every one to three months for peak efficiency. Clean filters enhance air quality and decrease strain on your system, prolonging its lifespan.
3. Insulate and Seal Ductwork
Heat loss is your enemy! Check and insulate ductwork to prevent energy waste and seal any gaps or leaks to maintain a cozy home environment. Drag out that caulk gun and weatherstripping from the garage.
Air leaks around windows, doors, and even ductwork can cause your system to work overtime, driving up energy bills and leaving rooms chilly. By sealing these gaps, you’ll keep warm air inside, improving your home’s energy efficiency.
