Tips for Improving the Home’s Heating and Cooling Systems

For many people, the start of the new year is a perfect opportunity for making changes and committing to self-improvement goals. For some, this means healthier eating, getting more exercise, or leveling up financially. For others, it may be as simple as making the home a more comfortable place to live or saving a little extra money on monthly bills. 

It may seem somewhat trivial, but improving the home’s heating and cooling systems can have a lasting impact on a family’s finances and overall quality of life. So here are three things homeowners can do for their HVAC systems to help lower their utility bills and enhance their comfort - not just in the new year, but for many years to come.

Set the Right Temperature - And Stick With It

The first thing homeowners can do to improve their HVAC system is to find a comfortable temperature and try not to adjust it too often. Frequently changing the thermostat setting will cause the unit to turn on and off more than it’s designed to do. Not only does this drive up the energy bills, but it also leads to unnecessary wear and tears on the unit.

Of course, while too much temperature fluctuation is bad for the system, the ideal solution isn’t just to keep one constant temperature at all times. For instance, there’s no reason to waste energy heating or cooling an empty home while everyone is at work or school. For many homeowners, a thermostat replacement is a proper solution - a programmable or smart thermostat will allow homeowners to effortlessly keep the home at a consistent, energy-saving temperature for any season or time of day.

 

 

Schedule Twice-Yearly Maintenance

calendar The next way to keep the home’s cooling and heating system in good shape this year is to have the system professionally serviced regularly. The ideal service schedule for any HVAC system is bi-annual - once in the spring and once in the fall. Spring air conditioning maintenance will help prepare the unit for the hot summer months, while autumn heating maintenance will ensure that the system is ready for the cold, dry winter.

Many homeowners skip one or both of these service visits, thinking that it’s unnecessary. But a lack of maintenance is the leading cause of AC and heater breakdowns and performance issues, so choosing to forego routine maintenance can end up costing more in the long run. Fortunately, many heating and AC service companies offer cost-effective maintenance membership plans that include bi-annual service visits and a variety of other perks.

Remember To Change the Filter!

Last but not least, one of the best (and easiest) ways to help the home’s HVAC system is to change the air filter regularly. Like professional maintenance, this is one task that too often tends to slip through the cracks. But it’s not to be underestimated - a dirty air filter can drastically impede the unit’s efficiency, cause unnecessary wear, and tear, and lower the home’s indoor air quality. 

As a general rule, HVAC filters should be replaced every 2-3 months at a minimum. Some homes may need it more often depending on how naturally dusty they are, how many pets are in the house, and whether anyone in the household has any respiratory sensitivities. Many companies offer a filter replacement service as part of routine maintenance, but most homeowners can easily handle heater or AC filter replacement on their own.
