We use HVAC systems to maintain indoor comfort no matter what time of day or day of the year it is. You can stop worrying now about sudden utility spikes by utilizing your HVAC devices efficiently. You can spare yourself all the added hassle by keeping in mind money-saving tips to help regulate your electric use without compromising your safety and comfort.

There are other problems we should be wary of as the season changes aside from paying for higher utility charges. One thing we should look out for is the malfunctioning of our system that may result in various discomforts. It is for this reason that we need to be mindful of any changes with our HVAC system. Any minor change with the way it works like unusual smells and sounds may already be an indication that there is a much bigger threat or a budding problem that can cost you a lot of money when not fixed right away. You need to be observant and check if there are unpleasant smells that are noticeable in your house and you also need to determine if the smell continues to worsen when your HVAC unit is running.

Neglecting the existence of vampire energy otherwise known as leaking energy is the result of not turning off an appliance when not in use because it still draws electricity especially if it is not unplugged. Even though this incident only draws little to no amount of energy, if this small yet steady energy loss accumulates over a period of time, we will definitely notice a significant rise in our utility bills. It is why it is recommended to always unplug all electronic devices when they are not in use.

Keep Vents and Filters Clean

We have always reminded you that clean filters, vents and ducts help your air conditioning system perform efficiently. As your HVAC system draws air in and over its coils, it also pulls in the accompanying dust, dirt, and debris. If left to build up, the system will have to work harder to pull air through the system. Additionally, the pollen, dust, and other contaminants can create an unhealthy indoor environment. You don’t want suffering and medical costs for your family or household.

By frequently changing your air filter, vacuuming around vents/registers, and remembering to schedule bi-annual professional maintenance, the A/C won’t need to use more electricity to cool your home. And your indoor air will be healthier!

Pests are one of the worst problems anyone can have. Farmers have difficulty in keeping their crops safe from pests because pests eat them and result in low production. In the HVAC industry, pests are likewise a major headache that you can’t just constantly ignore because they prove to be destructive when just ignored.

Be an observant owner and check all aspects of your HVAC system on a regular basis. Do not just wait for a problem to blow up when you could’ve possibly prevented it earlier. Remember that bigger problems may no longer be fixed and may warrant a replacement, which would prove to be more costly for you.

When it comes to bugs and other insects, keeping the area clean and clear is only the first step to preventing them from invading your home. Once they already invade your space, you may even have to require the services of an expert bug exterminator to get rid of them because they don’t just go away on their own.

Fallen leaves are likewise common during the autumn season. It is very important to remove fallen leaves and other debris that may serve as food or shelter for pests. Bugs or rodents in or around the AC unit can lead to performance problems due to pest waste or destructive chewing and nesting activities of these small animals.
