New Years Resolutions to Make for Your HVAC System.

The new year is here, what resolutions have you made for the year 2016? A good resolution for you to have this year is to take better care of your HVAC system. There are a few different ways you can vow to take better care of the system. One of the ways to take better care is to use a programmable thermostat if you are not already. Programmable thermostats save you money on your energy bill. They are also awesome because you can program it to a lower temp when you are gone which can raise right before you arrive home. This way your furnace gets a break when no one is home to use the warm air. The next thing you should do is change your filter monthly! This is very important. A dirty filter makes the furnace work harder which adds wear and tear and also raises your energy bill. The clogged filter can also cause the furnace to stop working correctly. We often go out to no heat calls and the issue ends up being a dirty filter. Make sure your filter is changed every month! Changing it is quick, simple and cheap.  The next thing you need to do is to get your system maintained! The ac gets maintained in the spring and the furnace gets maintained in the fall. This makes sure your system is all cleaned and ready to use. It is during this time that you can see potential issues and fix them before the unit breaks when you need it the most. One last thing you can do is to air seal your home. Air sealing your home will save you a lot of money on your energy bill because your conditioned air will not be going to waste. There are plenty of cracks that cold air can get into which makes your furnace work harder to warm the house. If you home was more sealed you can keep the HVAC system are lower temperatures and still be comfortable. That sames you money and piece of mind.
