Guides In Maintaining Heating And Air Conditioning

By Debra Hall


Keeping the air quality in your home is essential in making yourself comfortable while staying and resting after coming from work or school. The HVAC system must be taken care of properly to avoid it from malfunctioning and to prolong its life. Regular maintenance would also help in keeping your power bill at a respectable range.

You could do these maintenance works yourself though when they need repair or replacement, calling the help from professionals is better. There are heating and air Salt Lake City UT companies which you could hire for taking care of this problem. But here are some guides in helping you avoid this scenario and use your system longer.

Change their filters regularly because clogged ones will reduce airflow and make the systems work longer and harder. This in turn will consume more energy that causes them to prematurely wear down so regularly replace disposable filters. Doing this would clean off the air of mold spores, dirt and pollen before they settle at household surfaces.

Keep your compressors clear and free because these systems rely their changing of cold and hot air on it. These are placed outside which require their surroundings to have no obstruction for their job to be properly done. Check them every fall and spring and remove shrubs, plants, debris and leaves found at their sides and base.

If you have a thermostat then turn it down during the night or raise it up during the day when you and the family is out. Though avoid the habit of turning it up and down because it can cause the secondary system to kick in which consumes more power. Try keeping the temperatures steady to save energy and have the best comfort.

Newer homes commonly have filtration systems but others have portable ones to improve indoor air quality. They remove pollens and particulates when maintained well so remember to keep them clean all the time. If these filters are clogged as well as their collection plates dirty, it would be forced to work longer and harder.

These devices also require regular maintenance by professionals so have a service scheduled early. Do not wait until the weather changes and you are now experiencing chilly nights or hot days already before calling them up. This would result in having their full attention to you because they have set their time to work with you instead of responding from an emergency call.

Ask their advice while they are still on your premises about your system and how to handle this specific unit. They love talking about their jobs and would gladly give you advise about these things that you should do. Remember to give them a tip if they have done their job properly and was friendly when conversing with you to show your appreciation.

Close shades, drapes and binds when possible to stop heat from being lost through your windows and use rolled towels or draft dodgers beneath doors to block the cold air. Use energy star certified devices for more energy efficiency. But when these devices reach ten years or older then replacing them must be considered.
