The Ultimate HVAC Guide for Spring

Warm weather is heading our way and the last thing you want to worry about is an issue with your HVAC unit. Here are some tips to prepare your unit for the warmer weather ahead!

1. Schedule a tune-up

           Schedule a tune-up to prevent any potential issues that could happen as your A/C kicks into 

           full gear during the summer. This also helps you to avoid high energy costs by making sure 

           everything is running properly.

2. Change your air filter

           Change your air filter once a month to every 3 months. This can help with any pesky spring
           allergies and keep your air flow clean.

3. Get your ductwork checked

           Your ducts can collect all sorts of debris and dust. Have your ductwork cleaned to help with
            the cleanliness of the air in your home.

4. Dust registers and return vents

           Dust your registers and return vents before your spring cleaning dusting and help prevent
           allergies.

5. Clean around your outdoor unit

           Clean away any debris or leaves that have piled up around your outdoor unit during the fall
           and winter. Keeping the area around your outside unit clean of any debris will help it run
           more efficiently throughout the season.

6. Consider purchasing a programmable thermostat

           Don't have a programmable thermostat? This is a great tool to help to save on your energy bill
           and keep your home comfortable. With the scheduling option, you can set it depending on
           how when you are home.

5 Myths About HVAC

With so many opinions out there, how do you sort out the truth from the myths?Here are some common myths about your HVAC unit:

1. Your HVAC unit doesn't need to be checked unless there's a problem.

Scheduling regular HVAC maintenance can help you find the problem before it becomes a problem so you won't be stuck in the cold without heat or in the heat without A/C.

2. Closing off vents will save energy.

In reality, your system (if you have a modern HVAC unit) will balance the pressure load through other open vents and not reduce the amount of air pushed out. Blocking a vent could also throw your system out of balance and force your system to work harder.

3. A fan is like your A/C.

Fans are designed to circulate air in the room, not cool the room like A/C. A fan will blow cool air on you but it will not drop the temperature in a room if left on.

4. Having your A/C on for short periods of time will save energy.

Your unit uses the most energy in the first 3-5 minutes of starting up. Turning it on and off can actually increase the amount of energy used. Run it for 40-50 minutes for the best efficiency. 

5. Cranking the thermostat will cool/warm your home faster.

The temperature you set your thermostat to has no correlation to how fast your   unit will heat or cool your home. You unit will use the same power level no matter what temperature you have it set to.
