HVAC winter maintenance is essential, as winter can be harsh not only for us but also for our homes and HVAC systems. These systems keep us comfortable and safe all year. So, it’s time to show them some love by protecting them from winter’s harsh elements. In this blog post, we’ll outline five ways to protect your HVAC system this winter and ensure it continues to serve you and your family efficiently.
Schedule Pre-Winter Maintenance
First, schedule pre-winter maintenance with your HVAC technician. They’ll inspect your system, replace worn parts, tighten connections, and address small issues before they escalate.
Change Your Air Filters
Air filters are crucial for efficiency. Dirty filters strain the system, potentially causing breakdowns. Check them monthly and replace every 90 days.
Invest in a Programmable Thermostat
A programmable thermostat can lower energy bills by adjusting temperatures when you’re away, saving up to 15%.
Seal Your Home
Seal gaps around windows and doors to prevent drafts and reduce HVAC workload.
Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clear
Clear snow, ice, and debris around the outdoor unit to maintain airflow and prevent damage.
