With the heat of summer in full swing, it's essential to make sure your HVAC system is running efficiently to keep your home cool and comfortable. One way to ensure that your HVAC system is in top working condition is by getting routine system checks and changing your filters regularly. At Lee Heating & Cooling, we recommend having your HVAC system checked by a professional at least twice a year, typically in the spring and fall, to ensure that it is running efficiently and to catch any potential issues before they become major problems. During a routine check-up, our technicians will inspect all components of your HVAC system, clean any dirt or debris, and make any necessary adjustments to improve its performance. Changing your filters regularly is also crucial for maintaining the efficiency of your HVAC system. A dirty filter can restrict airflow, causing your system to work harder and consume more energy. By changing your filters every 1-3 months, depending on the type of filter you have, you can reduce energy consumption, improve air quality, and extend the lifespan of your HVAC system. In addition to routine system checks and filter changes, there are other good practices that can help you maximize the efficiency of your HVAC system. Making sure that your home is properly insulated and sealed can help prevent cool air from escaping, reducing the workload on your HVAC system. Installing a programmable thermostat can also help you save energy by adjusting the temperature when you are away from home or asleep.
