As the summer heat kicks in, ensuring your home’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is operating at peak efficiency becomes paramount. At Kellerman Heating & Cooling, we understand the importance of a well-maintained HVAC system for your comfort and energy savings. Here are some valuable tips to help you get the most out of your system:
1. Schedule Regular Professional Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is the key to keeping your HVAC system running smoothly and efficiently. Our licensed technicians at Kellerman Heating & Cooling are trained to inspect, clean, and service your system, ensuring it operates at optimal levels. Regular maintenance can also extend the lifespan of your HVAC unit, saving you money in the long run.
2. Change Air Filters Regularly
Clogged air filters can restrict airflow, reducing your system’s efficiency and increasing energy costs. We recommend checking and replacing your air filters every three months or as recommended by the manufacturer. This simple task can significantly improve indoor air quality and system performance.
3. Keep Outdoor Units Clear
- Ensure that the area around your outdoor HVAC unit is clear of debris, leaves, and vegetation.
- Obstructions can hinder airflow and cause the system to work harder, leading to higher energy bills and potential breakdowns.
- Trim back any overgrown plants or shrubs within a two-foot radius of the unit.
4. Utilize Programmable Thermostats
Programmable thermostats allow you to set temperature schedules that align with your household’s routine. This can help you save energy and money by automatically adjusting the temperature when you’re away or asleep, reducing the workload on your HVAC system.
5. Consider System Upgrades
If your HVAC system is more than 10 years old, it may be time to consider upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient model. Our experts at Kellerman Heating & Cooling can assess your needs and recommend the best ENERGY STAR-certified system for your home, potentially saving you hundreds of dollars in energy costs annually.
