Get Ahead of the Cold
As autumn sets in, homeowners in Greenville, SC, should take some time to think about their winter heating needs. Keeping your utility bills low while ensuring your home feels warm requires a small amount of seasonal HVAC maintenance.
Adjust Your Thermostat Settings
During a Greenville heater tune-up, a First Class technician will calibrate your thermostat. Before then, you can take steps to improve the device's performance by changing the settings. Most programmable thermostats have options to set the season. Switching from summer to winter will save you from having to make a series of energy-wasting adjustments.
Change Your Air Filter
Swapping out a system's air filter is a standard part of any HVAC tune-up. If you start using your heating system before a tune-up, make sure you change the filter every 30 days throughout the season. Keeping your air filter clean will reduce wear and tear, improve heating efficiency, and provide better indoor air quality.
Schedule Early Fall Maintenance
It's never too soon to schedule a Greenville heater tune-up. Your goal should be to have the service completed before your first use of the heating system. In addition to extending the longevity of your HVAC equipment, a fall tune-up will adjust the system to ensure its maximum efficiency and heating effectiveness.
Give Your Ducts Some Attention
Conducting fall maintenance may require that you look beyond your HVAC system. Dirty ductwork can contaminate your treated air and inhibit airflow. Ducts with loose or corroded parts will also leak warm air before it reaches your living spaces.
A proper fall duct cleaning will get rid of debris and pollutants while giving your technician a chance to identify the need for repairs. Keep your vents and registers clean throughout the season, wipe them with a damp cloth to remove dust and cobwebs.
