4 HVAC Resolutions Worth Making in 2021

Ah, 2021 is finally here! The most wonderful thing about the new year is that it provides you the perfect opportunity to improve your life, from eating healthier to committing to spending more time with family and friends. While you’re making resolutions for yourself, why not also make resolutions to improve your home’s overall energy efficiency by taking better care of your HVAC system?

In today’s post, HVAC repair specialist Stone Heating and Air shares four HVAC resolutions worth making in 2021.

HVAC Resolutions

Schedule maintenance. This should be at the top of your list for improved heating and air conditioning performance in your home. A regular maintenance schedule ensures that small issues are found and addressed right away. This prevents them from turning into major problems that can shorten your HVAC system’s lifespan and lead to costly repairs or even a full replacement.

Clean your air ducts. Homeowners tend to forget that air ducts are an integral part of any HVAC system. Calling in a trusted air conditioning company to check your ducts can greatly improve the air quality in your home. Better indoor air quality reduces the risk of airborne illnesses, prevents mold growth and also helps your home smell better.

Changing your air filter more often. Changing your air filter is one of the best things you can do for your HVAC system. The air filter helps remove contaminants from the air and prevents debris from circulating around and settling in areas of your house where you don’t want it to. A clogged filter also means that your HVAC system has to work harder to move conditioned air around, which translates to higher utility bills.

Going programmable. If you haven’t already, now is the best time to invest in a programmable thermostat. Programmable thermostats are credited with reducing a home’s heating and air conditioning bills by 10-30% on average. With this technology, you can control the temperature remotely, lock temperature settings and zone your home, among other things.
