Four HVAC Must-Knows

How well do you know your HVAC system? Although we tend to take our comfy home temperatures for granted, as a homeowner you should spend time learning the basic information of your HVAC system. Gaining knowledge about the care and maintenance of your unit(s) in the long run can save you money and keep your home at a comfortable temperature.

1. Get to know your HVAC.

• What brand and model HVAC do you have?
• Where are your unit(s) located Outside?
• Are they protected and high enough off the ground?
• Are they protected from a gutter or trees?
• Are your inside unit(s) located in a closet or attic?
• Have precautions been set up to prevent leaks?

2. Change your filter regularly:

Although a simple task, changing air filters throughout your home can lead to a great reward. Not only will you have better air quality but you will also protect the blower fan from debris. Filters are what protects the unit(s) from becoming blocked. If air is restricted and can’t flow freely then the HVAC has to work harder. This can lead to wear and tear on the unit(s), resulting in repair cost. Along with less effective heating and cooling.

3. Pay attention:

It’s important to ensure you’re getting the most out of your system and to be aware of any problems. If there are any strange noises or smells, or if your utility bill is unusually high, you should contact an expert such as Brinson & Sons. Calling the professionals immediately can potentially save you money down the road.
