Nothing warms your heart quite like a furnace. To keep your HVAC system working smoothly and efficiently, don’t forget to keep up on maintenance. Here are the top 6 maintenance tips to heat your Valentine’s Day!

 

  • Check Your Filters

 

 

    1. When’s the last time you changed your filters? It’s recommended that you change your air filters every 1-3 months. This Valentine’s Day, make sure to check your air filters and change them if they’re dirty. A dirty air filter is one of the factors that can negatively affect the efficiency of your HVAC unit.

 

    1. Use a Smart Thermostat
      With a smart thermostat, you can set the mood this Valentine’s Day and make sure the temperature is as comfortable as can be. When you need to leave the house, a smart thermostat will allow you to automatically set the temperature to save you on energy and even preset it to a certain temperature before you arrive back home.

 

    1. Turn Down The Heat
      To turn up the heat this Valentine’s Day, consider turning it down. It can help give your HVAC system a break after working overtime through the colder winter months. Instead, consider cuddling up under some blankets or in front of the fireplace. Not only can this help you save on energy costs, but it can also create a cozy atmosphere for you and your special someone.

 

    1. Seal the Drafts in Your Home
      If you have cold drafts in your home, you may have some gaps around your windows and doors. To be sure, check around them and see if you feel any drafts. You can easily seal the drafts by caulking or weatherstripping those areas of your home. This can not only help keep your home more comfortable, but it can also save you on energy bills. If you have drafts, it’ll make your HVAC system work harder to heat and cool your home, which can lead to higher energy bills.

 

    1. Dust Your Home
      Something as simple as dusting your home can help make your Valentine’s Day celebration much better. There’s nothing like breathing in all that dust and debris to kill the romance. Make sure to dust areas around your air vents and registers. They can get clogged with dust and put a strain on your HVAC unit.

 

  1. Schedule Professional Maintenance
    One way to ensure your HVAC system runs smoothly and efficiently for years to come is to schedule professional maintenance at least once a year. Not only can professional maintenance prevent costly repairs and reduce your energy consumption, but it can also improve your indoor air quality. And let’s face it – love really should be the only thing in the air this Valentine’s Day.
