Keeping Your Home Comfortable Year-Round
United Air Conditioning is committed to providing our customers with top-notch heating and cooling services. To help you maintain a comfortable home environment and extend the life of your HVAC system, we’ve compiled some valuable advice:
1. Regular Maintenance is Key
Schedule professional inspections at least twice a year, ideally before the peak heating and cooling seasons. This helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and ensures your system operates efficiently.
2. Change Air Filters Frequently
Replace or clean your air filters every 1-3 months, depending on usage and environmental factors. Clean filters improve air quality and reduce strain on your HVAC system.
3. Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clear
Ensure that your outdoor AC unit is free from debris, leaves, and vegetation. Maintain at least two feet of clearance around the unit for optimal airflow.
4. Utilize Programmable Thermostats
Install a programmable thermostat to adjust temperatures automatically based on your schedule, saving energy and reducing wear on your system.
5. Seal Ductwork and Insulate
Check for leaks in your ductwork and seal them properly. Adequate insulation in your home helps maintain consistent temperatures and reduces the workload on your HVAC system.
6. Consider Regular Tune-ups
Schedule annual tune-ups with United Air Conditioning to:
- Clean and lubricate moving parts
- Check refrigerant levels
- Inspect electrical connections
- Ensure proper airflow
By following these tips and partnering with United Air Conditioning for your heating and cooling needs, you can enjoy a comfortable home environment year-round while maximizing the efficiency and lifespan of your HVAC system.
