HVAC repairs can add up and leave you feeling strapped for cash. If you want to get the most out of your Lancaster heating and cooling and avoid emergency repairs, follow these easy tips.
Help Your System Work Better
During the summer, your AC can work overtime trying to keep your home cool. Why not help it out some? One way to do this is to keep shades and blinds drawn in sunny rooms. You help the room stay cooler, and your AC runs less. Do the opposite in the winter to give your furnace a break. Open blinds and shades in sunny rooms and let the sun heat the room naturally.
Don’t forget about filter changes. A clogged air filter blocks airflow. Regularly changing the filter in your HVAC unit keeps it from overheating and working harder to cool or heat your house. Changing the filter every 30 days is a great habit to begin.
Get Professional Maintenance
Maintaining your HVAC system requires more than 30-day filter changes. You also want to make sure all the parts are working and calibrated properly. Participating in a seasonal or monthly maintenance program offered by HVAC companies is a great way to do this. Not only do you have peace of mind when operating your system, but if you need repairs, most maintenance program participants get discounted service calls and priority servicing.
