It’s that time of year again—the winter months are upon us! With temperatures dipping below freezing all week long, it can be hard to stay comfortable and warm. Here’s how to keep your home heated and comfortable during the coldest month of the year. When we inspect the system, we can check the entire HVAC system. This includes the furnace, thermostat, ductwork, and all the other parts of the unit.
What is the climate change impact on the HVAC system
Just like any other system in your home, the HVAC (heating, cooling, and air conditioning) system is impacted by climate change. To avoid heat accidents, be sure to follow these tips:
1. Make sure your HVAC unit is properly maintained and that all filters are replaced as needed.
2. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and make sure your unit’s thermostat is set to the proper temperature.
3. Keep your home warm by not leaving open doorways or windows open for long periods of time during the winter.
Regular Maintenance
Also remember to follow regular maintenance for your HVAC system. If you are not sure on a schedule, always make sure to contact us. If you notice any issues with how the system is heating, it is always best to do it as soon as you notice. This will help reduce the chance of further damage on the unit. If a part is worn and is damaged, a new part will need to be ordered. Depending on the back order, this could take days or weeks. So always make sure to be aware of any odd noises or sounds the system might make. Check the thermostat to ensure the set temperature is the same as the temperature in your home. If it is off by a few degrees, it may be time for a new thermostat. Contact us and we will check the system. We will also recommend what thermostat will be right for your home. This will help keep you warm and comfortable through the winter months.
