Improving the Heating and Cooling Systems in a Home
Maintaining a home is not commonly discussed in many households, so some children grow up not knowing how to maintain their home when they eventually buy one themselves. Seeking the expertise of tradespeople with years of knowledge in key areas such as thermostat services and ac maintenance is wise for young homeowners to gain experience themselves. Service calls and annual maintenance plans are generally not expensive and provide a huge benefit!
Setting the Perfect Temperature
Programmable thermostats are relatively inexpensive and save homeowners so much money. Rising energy bills have led many to search for ways to reduce utility bills, and every degree the thermostat moves up and down can save or add 2%. Set the perfect temperature during the winter months, whether at home or away, by presetting temperatures to be cooler during the day while at work and warmer when returning to the home.
Consistent temperatures mean the unit is working less and can extend its useful life. Smart thermostats are a step above and can change the temperature for homeowners after learning patterned behavior. Some thermostats even sense when a person enters the room and can adjust accordingly.
When vacations are scheduled, the thermostat can be preset so that the home is not heated at above-average temperatures during the vacation period. Installing either a smart or programmable thermostat is quick and easy in most cases when installed by a heating company.
Scheduling Consistent Maintenance
Bi-annual maintenance of HVAC systems helps find small issues before they have the chance to become big problems that need costly repairs. Membership plans offered by most companies clean and inspect units twice per year, change filters, and keep units running at optimal efficiency. Maintaining equipment consistently keeps the unit under the manufacturer's warranty and is less expensive than costly repairs.
Improperly maintained equipment could impact the home's air quality or even lead to a fire if exposed wiring is present. Carbon monoxide could leak into the home if the system is compromised. Yearly plans provide extra benefits such as front-of-line privileges during an emergency, discounts on repairs or replacements of major systems, no overtime charges for after-hours jobs, thermostat replacement, and guarantees on labor/parts.
Changing Filters
Filter changes are an inexpensive way to extend the life of an HVAC system. Manufacturers and AC companies recommend changing filters every 90 days. If there are pets in the home or home occupants have environmental allergies, change filters every 30 days. Regular filter changes reduce how hard systems have to work to maintain consistent temperature throughout the building and extend the life of the equipment while preventing costly repairs.
