HVAC System Tips For Winter

Winter HVAC

Make sure your HVAC system works well all winter long.

Winter can be a challenging time for your HVAC system. You’ll be using your heat more than you had in past months, which can place some strain on your overall system. Because of this, it’s important that your HVAC system is in the best shape possible before winter starts. Here are some strategies you can use to help keep your system running efficiently during the winter.

Have Your System Professionally Inspected

If you have a professional take a look at your home’s HVAC system, you will get a sense of any repairs or replacements you need to make. A professional will be able to identify where your home is lacking in energy efficiency. This is valuable because many homeowners simply don’t have the time or knowledge needed to identify these problems.

Insulate Your Home

When a home lacks proper insulation, it’s hard to keep it warm. This is because the heat that should be pumping through your house is escaping instead. Having a home that isn’t adequately insulated will end up costing you money. You’ll have to constantly keep the heat running to keep your home comfortable, which will end up being very expensive. A well-insulated home will keep heat in, allowing you to spend less money on heating.

Take A Look At Your Ducts & Air Filters

You should really clean replace your air filters every month but if you haven’t been doing this, winter is a great time to start. As time goes on, your air filters collect dust. This dust can collect, preventing heat and cold air from moving through your home efficiently. In a similar way, unchecked air ducts can cause problems too. After month and months of being neglected, dust and mold can gather in your air ducts. Then, these harmful things will spread throughout your home, possibly affecting your health.
