Every month, there are things you can do to make sure your heating and cooling system is in top condition. Here’s an HVAC maintenance to-do list for early fall from one of the leading cooling and home heating companies in Rogue Valley, Stone Heating and Air:
Check Air Filters
During stretches of heavy air conditioning use, like in the summer, air filters should be inspected to ensure they're not clogged. They can fill up quickly during these times, so be ready with a replacement should you need to change them out.
Inspect All Registers and Return Air Grilles
It's important to inspect your registers and return air grilles to ensure that they're not shut or blocked. If you need to, move furniture, rugs, carpets and other items an appropriate distance away. All vents should always be clear of obstuctions to avoid restricting airflow, which will help prevent issues with performance and potential overheating.
If you need to turn off cooling in unused portions of your property, never close more than 20% of your HVAC vents. This will allow you to cut back on wasted energy without hampering heating and cooling performance. For even better control over your HVAC system, talk to reputable heating and air conditioning companies about taking advantage of zoning for your home or business.
Set Your Thermostat CorrectlySet your thermostat to fit your daily schedule, taking into account when you’ll be home or when your business is closed for the day, for example. If you want flexible programming options, check out what smart thermostats can do for you.
