Regular HVAC maintenance is crucial for keeping your system running smoothly and efficiently. Here are some tips from the experts at Hosack Plumbing, Heating & Cooling on how to maintain your HVAC system:
- Change filters regularly: Filters should be changed at least every 3 months, or more frequently if you have pets or allergies. This helps prevent dirt and debris from clogging your system and impeding its performance.
- Keep outdoor unit clean: Make sure to remove any leaves, debris, or vegetation that may have accumulated around your outdoor unit. This can block airflow and decrease efficiency.
- Schedule professional tune-ups: It’s recommended to schedule a professional tune-up twice a year – in the spring for your air conditioning and fall for your heating. This allows us to catch any potential issues and ensure that your system is running at peak efficiency.
- Check ductwork: Leaky or poorly insulated ductwork can cause your HVAC system to work harder, leading to inefficiency and higher energy bills. Have a professional inspect and seal any leaks or inadequately insulated areas.
- Consider an upgrade: If your HVAC system is over 15 years old or frequently needs repairs, it may be time to consider upgrading to a newer, more efficient model. Our team can help you choose the right system for your home’s needs and provide expert installation services.
