Essential HVAC Maintenance Tips for Homeowners

Keeping Your Home Comfortable Year-Round

Energy Services understands the importance of a well-functioning heating and cooling system. Here are some valuable tips to help you maintain your HVAC system and ensure optimal performance:

1. Regular Filter Changes

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain your furnace is to change the air filter regularly. This helps improve air quality and system efficiency.

2. Schedule Annual Maintenance

Book a professional inspection and tune-up for your heating system before winter arrives. This can prevent unexpected breakdowns and extend the life of your equipment.

3. Keep Vents Clear

Ensure that furniture, curtains, or other objects don’t obstruct your vents. This allows for proper airflow and helps maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home.

4. Upgrade to a Programmable Thermostat

Installing a smart thermostat can lead to significant energy savings and improved comfort by automatically adjusting temperatures based on your schedule.

5. Know When to Replace

If your furnace is over 15 years old or requiring frequent repairs, it may be time to consider a replacement. Energy Services can help you choose an energy-efficient model that suits your needs.

6. Don’t Ignore Strange Noises

Unusual sounds coming from your heating system could indicate a problem. Don’t hesitate to call for professional help if you notice any concerning noises.
