Prepare Your Home for Springtime Comfort!
When it comes to maintaining your home comfort equipment, we’ve got you covered! But there are a few things you can do yourself that help improve the levels of comfort in your home. If you consider yourself handy around the house, give these tips a try!
Your Air Conditioning System
-
Clear away leaves, brush and dirt from the outdoor equipment to prevent it from getting inside when the system turns on. Also remove anything sitting on top of the upper grill.
-
Trim back trees and bushes to allow at least two feet of clearance. This prevents any other debris from further falling into or around the equipment.
-
Replace the air filter at least once a month to keep proper airflow, which lends itself to good coverage and energy efficiency.
-
Schedule your air conditioning system tune-up!
Your Home’s Energy Efficiency
-
Use weatherstripping and caulk around doors and windows to help reduce air leaks and save you on energy costs.
-
Replace the insulation anywhere you can access, including attics, unfinished basements and crawl spaces for better comfort.
-
Use programmable thermostats and schedule your equipment to turn off during times of the day where no one is home or everyone is asleep to save energy.
-
Ask us about turning down your water heater during the warmer months to save even further on energy costs!
