Winter is almost here, and you need to make sure your home will stay warm and comfortable throughout the season. This means checking around windows and doors for any gaps or cracks where drafts can enter, and taking the time to have your home’s insulation evaluated. Another important component you’ll need to focus on is your HVAC system. If you want it to perform reliably and efficiently this winter, you have to take measures to keep it in good condition. One of the trusted HVAC contractors in the area, HVAC Construction, Inc., shares some helpful tips below.
-
Replace the air filter. Because most homes are shut up tight in the winter, dust and other harmful particles can accumulate in your indoor air. The air filter prevents them from being circulated throughout your house, but this can still lead to dust buildup on the system’s components. Check if your air filter is clogged and dusty. If it is, replace it as necessary so any blockages won’t hamper the airflow and heating performance of your HVAC system.
-
Schedule a seasonal HVAC tune-up. The simplest and most effective way to keep your HVAC system in good shape is to have it tuned up as the seasons change. HVAC Construction, Inc. can help you with this. Our skilled, certified technicians can perform a comprehensive checkup of your HVAC system, identifying any developing issues and dealing with them promptly to eliminate the potential for breakdowns in the middle of winter.
-
Avoid covering your outdoor HVAC unit. This is because most HVAC systems are built to withstand inclement weather, even the snow and ice buildup that’s typical in the winter months. In some cases, in fact, covering up the unit can actually do more harm than good. For one thing, this can trap excess moisture between the cover and the HVAC unit, leading to rust. Not only that–it can also encourage small animals to take shelter under the cover, which may result in damage or a breakdown.
