by Keep Your Home Comfortable Year-Round with These Expert Tips
At Astro Air Inc., we understand that maintaining your HVAC system can seem overwhelming. That’s why we’ve compiled these professional insights to help you keep your indoor comfort at optimal levels throughout the seasons.
1. Schedule Regular Maintenance
Don’t wait until something goes wrong with your system. Preventative maintenance is crucial for keeping your HVAC unit running efficiently. Twice-yearly inspections can catch small issues before they become expensive problems, especially before extreme weather seasons begin.
2. Change Air Filters Regularly
This simple task makes a huge difference in your system’s performance. Dirty filters force your unit to work harder, increasing energy costs and reducing air quality. Mark your calendar to check filters monthly and replace them every 1-3 months, depending on usage and household conditions.
3. Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clean
Your exterior condensing unit needs proper airflow to function efficiently. Regular cleaning of the area around your outdoor unit is essential. Remove:
- Fallen leaves and debris
- Overgrown vegetation
- Dirt and dust accumulation
- Any objects within two feet of the unit
4. Monitor Your System’s Performance
Being attentive to your HVAC system’s operation can help identify potential issues early. Watch for signs like:
- Unusual noises or odors
- Inconsistent temperatures
- Increased energy bills
- Poor airflow from vents
5. Upgrade to Smart Technology
Consider installing a programmable thermostat to optimize your system’s performance. Smart thermostats can help reduce energy consumption and provide more consistent comfort throughout your home.
