Keeping your air conditioning and HVAC systems in top condition is essential for ensuring a comfortable indoor environment throughout the year. At Air-Ref Co Inc, we understand the importance of proper maintenance and repair services. Here are some valuable tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your AC and HVAC units:
Regular Cleanings and Inspections
Schedule regular cleanings and inspections with a professional HVAC technician. This will help identify and address any potential issues before they escalate into more significant problems, saving you money and extending the lifespan of your equipment.
Annual tune-ups are recommended to ensure your system is operating efficiently and effectively. During these tune-ups, the technician will clean and lubricate moving parts, check for refrigerant leaks, and make any necessary adjustments.
Change Air Filters Regularly
Dirty air filters can significantly reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system and even lead to breakdowns. It’s recommended to change your air filters every 1-3 months, depending on the type of filter and the level of usage. Clean filters allow for proper airflow, improving indoor air quality and reducing strain on your system.
Proper Thermostat Settings
Setting your thermostat to the appropriate temperature can help you save energy and reduce wear and tear on your HVAC system. During the summer months, aim for a temperature between 78°F and 80°F when you’re home and a few degrees higher when you’re away or sleeping. In the winter, set the thermostat between 68°F and 72°F.
By following these tips and scheduling regular maintenance with Air-Ref Co Inc, you can ensure your air conditioning and HVAC systems operate efficiently, provide optimal comfort, and have an extended lifespan.
