At Advantage Service Co, we understand the importance of keeping your Heat Pumps and Air Conditioning systems in top-notch condition. However, observing routine maintenance tasks can keep your devices running efficiently, saving you costly repairs in the long run.
Regular Filter Replacement
The filter for your air conditioning or heat pump system is crucial for maintaining optimal operation and ensuring good indoor air quality. Typically, filters should be swapped out every 1-3 months, but the frequency can vary depending on your system usage and home environment.
Correct use of the thermostat significantly impacts the performance of your heating and cooling units. Consider programming your thermostat to lower temperatures when the house is vacant or everyone’s asleep, which will not only extend the life of your units, but save significantly on energy costs.
Seasonal Inspections and Tune-ups
A professional inspection of your heat pump or air conditioning system should take place at least once a year. This is essential to detect minor problems before they escalate into major malfunctions, ensuring your unit performs at its peak.
Much like a car, your AC and heat pump need regular tune-ups to maintain optimal performance levels. Tune-ups also minimize the potential of a breakdown, especially during peak season.
Clean Around the Outdoor Unit
Ensure the outdoor unit of your heat pump or air conditioning system is free from dust, debris, and other hindrances. These can restrict air flow and decrease system efficiency. A good practice is to keep a two-feet clearance around the unit to allow for proper air circulation.
At Advantage Service Co, we are committed to providing reliable and cost-effective heating and cooling solutions. Applying these tips will contribute to efficient system operation, lower energy costs, and improved home comfort.
