HVAC TIPS/VIDEOS

Change your air filter regularly. A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and cause your HVAC system to work harder, leading to reduced efficiency and potentially even damaging the system. Most air filters should be cleaned or replaced every 3 months for 1 inch filters. For 4 inch filters replace every 6 months. Rule of thumb, hold you filter up to the light and if you see 50% or less light it is time to change it. If you have our Accuclean Whole Home Air Cleaner you can view the video below on how to maintain it.

Keep your HVAC system well-maintained. Scheduling regular maintenance with a professional, we offer affordable maintenance plans, and we can help ensure that your system is running at peak efficiency and identify any potential problems before they become major issues.

Use a programmable thermostat. A programmable thermostat allows you to set your HVAC system to turn off or on at specific times, which can help you save energy and money or even better use smart thermostats like Nest which learn your habits to run your system in the most efficient way.

Keep your vents and registers clear. Make sure that your vents and registers are not blocked by furniture or other objects, as this can restrict airflow, reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system and put wear on your system.

Consider sealing your ducts. Leaky or poorly sealed ducts can lead to significant energy loss, so if you suspect that your ducts may be a problem, consider hiring a professional to seal them. Last thing you want is to pay money every month to heat or cool your attic or crawlspace.

Use fan mode on your hvac system to circulate air through out the home which can make a room feel cooler during the summer. This allows you to set your thermostat a few degrees higher and save energy. Also whether you have our beyond Hepa rated Accuclean air filtration system or your standard 1 inch air filter, it will keep air moving through the filter, removing airborne particles, especially during wildfire season.

Use shades or blinds. Keeping your windows covered during the hottest part of the day can help keep your home cooler and reduce the load on your HVAC system.
