According to wallethub.com, Illinois ranks worst in the highest natural gas consumption per consumer. Unfortunately, winters in St. Charles can get rough. These five tips will help ensure your home HVAC system runs its best to keep those costs down. At Amazing Air Inc., we specialize in HVAC system water heater installation in Aurora, IL. We can help you add a boiler to your unit for pleasant, comfortable home heating this winter.
Replace Filters Regularly
Do the buy-ahead technique so you always have filters for the next replacement. Doing this will help you make sure you get started on time to change filters. Neglecting to change your filters on time can lead to dust and allergens getting trapped in the coils of your HVAC system, making it more costly to operate and less efficient and spreading allergens around your home.
Get Seasonal Maintenance Checks
To keep your HVAC system running smoothly for its life span of 16-20 years, have one of our technicians do a maintenance service on your system, or even consider getting an energy audit. Contaminants in your HVAC system will cause it to work harder and give less of the heating and cooling you rely on for a cozy home.
Clean Your Outdoor System
Cut any plants and shrubs about four inches away from your outdoor heating and cooling units. In the winter, put a cover over your outdoor air conditioning unit. Check for any leaves and yard debris you can dust off yourself. If you feel comfortable, lubricate the fan on your unit. If you notice anything caught inside the team, it’s best to call our HVAC contractor in Naperville and Aurora, IL.
Do Simple Monitoring Checkups Yourself
Listen for unusual hums and buzzes indicating your system isn’t operating like usual. You don’t need to monitor 24/7, but noticing these changes can help save money by fixing problems early. Smells are another concern. If you see an unusual smell, it could be bacteria or mold in your ductwork that could make your family more prone to illness and even be potentially hazardous.Â
Also, if your energy bills suddenly rise, it could signal you need furnace repair in Naperville, IL. Instead of letting the problem get worse and risking shortening the lifespan of your unit, an inspection could help restore your HVAC to efficient performance again.
Don’t Go Outside Your Comfort Zone
As you check your home HVAC and change filters, you’re helping save your family money. A thrifty homeowner may be tempted to do some of the work themselves. Still, HVAC involves some fragile components and hazardous materials, and it’s essential to get the job done effectively and safely. It’s not worth saving a few bucks if it puts safety at risk or means the job needs to be done right.
