AC Dave Heating & Air brings you some tips for colder months for the purpose of keeping homes warm and systems running efficiently. Enjoy these 6 tips and keep an eye for additional tips in further posts.
Clean filters improve airflow and efficiency. As such, replacing your filters every 1 – 3 months during the winter, will ensure your HVAC system operates. In the winter our HVAC systems experience heavier use.
Inspect windows, doors, and ducts for drafts or leaks, and seal them to prevent warm air escaping. With this in mind it will reduce the strain on your HVAC system, which will save energy and money.
Set your programmable thermostat to a lower temperature while you are away from your home or asleep. Raise the temperature while you are home. With this in mind you will not only save energy but also reduce wear and tear on the system.
Make sure furniture and other items are not blocking your vents or registers. As a result restricted airflow makes heating your home less efficient, thus driving up your energy bill.
Our technicians will clean and check your furnace, inspect the heat exchange, and ensure safe and efficient operation. Futhermore, we recommend a Bi-Annual maintenance to ensure your HVAC is always ready regardless of the season.
Set your ceiling fans to run clockwise on low speed during the colder months. Consequently this will help maintain an even temperature throughout your home. In the same way in the warmer months, your fans need to be running in an anti-clockwise direction, to draw the hot air upwards.
