Let's get ready for a comfortable summer! Turn on your system (before you need it) and listen for any unusual sounds. Set the temperature, and if the climate in your home doesn't adjust to this setting, give us a call.
The right temperature inside a home depends largely on who is there at the time, and when no one is in the home, the right temperature can be significantly lower than a conventional "living area" temperature. Adjust your thermostat accordingly!
Replacing the home's HVAC system is an expensive proposition, but if your system is old and inefficient, the added comfort and financial benefits of a new system can be very real. If your system is more than 10 years old, ask us about the longevity of your system.
You could save up to 10% on your electric bill by programming your thermostat to be at a lower temperature at night and after you leave for work! However- it's recommended that you don't reduce the temperature more than about 6 - 8 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yearly service of your HVAC system ensures it runs properly. Homeowners should have the system inspected in the fall to best prepare it for the demands of winter. If you're a little late, don't worry! Better late than never- give us a call!
#HVAC#TuesdayTip: Keep supply and return vents clear. Check supply and return vents around your home to ensure they are clear of clutter such as furniture, carpets, pet hair, and any other items that could reduce airflow and make your system work harder.
Friday Fact: Lower your water heating bill by turning down the temperature to the warm setting (120°F). You'll not only save energy, you'll avoid scalding your hands.
Calibrate your thermostat! A broken thermostat can lead to your HVAC system not working as intended. It might be unable to read the temperature in your home and fail to turn on. A professional technician can repair your thermostat and make sure it's properly calibrated.
We're guessing that your home already has a programmable thermostat, enabling you to schedule when your cooling equipment comes on and helps control energy costs. But now you can pick up a Wi-Fi model and gain access to the thermostat remotely through any internet connection.

Less stress is best- especially on your HVAC unit! Never close more than 20% of your home's registers to avoid placing unnecessary strain on the HVAC system. Similarly, don't close doors to rooms so that the system can work efficiently.
Get ready for spring by checking your thermostat settings. Is it heating and cooling to your desired temperature? Ensure your system can keep you comfortable when you're home, and save energy (and money) while you're out. #Spring#HVACTips#HVAC
Consider changing the indoor humidity filter at the start of each season change. Make a note to yourself and you'll never forget! #TuesdayTip#HVAC#SpringCleaning
Your path to a cooler house might be as easy as opening doors and registers (vents found either on the floor or ceiling) in every room. Make sure to check those vents, they can often become closed due to foot traffic or the vacuum cleaner running over them! #TuesdayTip#HVAC
The U.S. Department of Energy says the average household energy bill is $2,200 a year, which is quite high. Changing your air filter every month can save you anywhere from 5- 15%, plus your home will be healthier. #healthyliving#HVACTips#SaveEnergy

Programmable thermostats allow you to control your HVAC units even when you're not there. Match your thermostat to your schedule, use a timer for when you leave for work and when you come home, set it for particular rooms, and even set specific temperatures. #HVAC
Replace the batteries in smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors twice a year. We like to do this when we spring ahead and fall behind, which is an easy reminder. While you're at it, dust or vacuum the detectors to keep them working at peak performance. #SpringCleaning#HVAC
🧐 What is #MERV? MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Values, which report a filter’s ability to capture larger particles between 0.3 and 10 microns (μm).
😎 How it Works: #MERV13 filters are designed to catch common airborne pollutants like smoke, allergens and viruses
