HVAC Tips for the Holidays
If you’re hosting a small holiday party this season, make sure that your HVAC system is working. The cold, and the extra warm bodies, could change how efficient your HVAC system will be this winter. Here are a few tips that will help you get everything ready.
Schedule an Inspection
You should have your HVAC system inspected in the fall or early winter before the cold season begins. If you haven’t done that already, there’s still time to call an HVAC contractor at Cahill Heating, Cooling, Electric, Plumbing & Sewer. We can complete the inspection before you have your holiday guests over. A bit of maintenance could help you find and fix minor issues before they become costly repairs.
Dust Your Home
Yes, dusting your home can affect your HVAC system’s efficiency. A lack of dust on your furniture means a lack of dust in the air when your furnace turns on. This will improve the air quality. It might also help you get a little more life out of your furnace filter. It won’t have to work as hard to keep dust and other debris out of your ducts.
Change Your Filter
Speaking of filters, you should at least check on your HVAC system’s filter. You should do this at least once a month regardless of the season. It will be even more important if you have a crowd of people in your home.
Turn Down Your Thermostat
Even though it will get colder outside, you will want to turn down your thermostat a bit if you have company over. Many warm bodies will raise the temperature in your home in a natural way. You shouldn’t worry about people getting too cold. As long as you keep your home at a comfortable temperature, you should be fine to turn the temperature down a bit.
