Many people have a love-hate relationship with their HVAC unit. While you certainly love the fact that it keeps your home cool and comfortable throughout the warm summers in Florida, you may dislike the high energy bills you have as a result of using your system. By making a few simple changes, you can easily fall back in love with your home and your AC system this February. Local AC is here to help you accomplish this goal with three simple steps.
#1 Improve Your Indoor Air Quality
One complaint you may have about your AC unit could be related to your allergies or overall health. When a dirty system turns on, it will circulate allergens such as dust and dander throughout the air in your home. Regularly replacing air filters regularly is an effective and easy way to improve your home’s indoor air quality (IAQ).
Looking for other ways to improve your home’s air quality? Have your air ducts cleaned periodically and schedule routine HVAC system maintenance at the beginning of the warm weather season. Maintenance service will clean all system components to ensure they don’t contaminate the air that circulates throughout your home.
#2 Enhance Your Energy Efficiency
By making small efficiency upgrades and checklists, you will enjoy enormous energy savings in the long run. A Local AC technician can audit your home’s insulation to determine if it needs to be enhanced. If your system is ten or more years old, you may even want to consider upgrading to a newer more efficient model. Local AC has a Complete Guide to Energy Efficiency Ratings for those on the market for a new system.
There are a number of steps you can take to promote improved energy efficiency with your system. To start, here are a couple easy adjustments you can make right away…
- Regularly replace your air filters. Not only will this improve your indoor air quality (IAQ), but it will also improve your entire system’s energy efficiency.
- Adjust or program your thermostat so it runs less frequently while you are away or sleeping.
- Ensure all doors and windows are properly sealed to keep the climate-controlled air within your home.
#3 Schedule Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is one of the best steps homeowners can take to keep their system running at peak performance. Routine professional HVAC maintenance will decrease repair issues, lower your monthly energy bills, improve your IAQ and ultimately extend the life of your system. While important, this is a step that many homeowners too often overlook.
