Keep your vents open.
If you do not have a maintenance plan for your HVAC system, you should seriously consider getting one. HVAC system preventive maintenance enhances energy efficiency, lessens HVAC wear and tear and reduces costly repairs. It minimizes the likelihood of a breakdown. With a proper preventative maintenance plan in place, you can prolong your system’s lifespan and enjoy optimal comfort levels in your home. To prevent wear and tear and optimize your system’s performance, install a new thermostat. Installing a smart thermostat enables you to control your HVAC system remotely. You can adjust the temperatures in your home from afar without accessing it remotely. Specific needs and schedules of your household will determine the settings on your thermostat. This reduces the workload for your system, ultimately minimizing wear and tear as well as energy bills. Install energy-efficient windows to reduce condensation build-up, lower UV ray penetration, and lower heating and cooling expenses. These benefits collectively work to reduce wear and tear on your HVAC system by making it easier to cool and heat your home. Keep your vents open. Keeping your vents closed in rooms that are not in active use causes your unit to work harder than it should, making it more susceptible to wear and tear. Use your ceiling fans to decrease your HVAC system’s workload throughout the year. In summer, ensure your fans are in the reverse mode to draw the heat produced by your system to your ceiling before distributing it in your room. The reverse mode also prevents your ceiling fan from creating uncomfortable breezes.
