How To Maintain Your HVAC Unit During Fluctuating Weather

Every year around this time, the weather struggles to stay consistent. Temperatures rise and then quickly fall, only to rise again. This can cause a lot of stress for an HVAC system that will have to fluctuate between heating and cooling again and again.

It’s important to ensure your heater and air conditioner don’t go through unnecessary wear and tear during these seasons. With the right actions, you can keep your HVAC system working well for years to come.

Here are a few tips for keeping your system stress-free:

Use a Smart Thermostat

A smart thermostat allows you to take total control of your HVAC system. You can easily set these types of thermostats to specific temperatures and create a schedule that fits the season.

Try setting your thermostat for a reasonably cool temperature on the low end and a reasonably warm temperature on the high end. This can help ensure the system doesn’t constantly blast heat or AC.

Close Off Your Rooms

When the AC or heater runs, it will push air through every vent in your home. This can be wasteful if you aren’t using certain rooms for most of the day. It may help control the amount of HVAC usage to close vents and seal rooms that are in use. This allows your space to heat or cool quicker and turn off the HVAC system sooner.

Open Your Windows

If you’ll be home during the day, be mindful of the outdoor temperature and your personal preferences. Some days in the spring and fall are perfect for opening the windows and enjoying the breeze instead of running your HVAC system all day. Even an hour or two of this strategy daily can greatly reduce the workload of your heater or air conditioner.

Use a Fan

Using a fan may be sufficient to cool your primary rooms on warmer days. Desk fans, floor fans, and ceiling fans can all help circulate the air. Even if you run the AC for a bit, a few fans can help move the cool air around and more quickly bring your space to a comfortable temperature.

Schedule Seasonal Maintenance

It’s always a good idea to schedule heater maintenance in the fall and AC maintenance in the spring. A technician can review every part of your system and ensure it’s ready for the coming months. They can also uncover the need for specific repairs that will save you money in the long run.

These are just a few ways you can help lower your HVAC system’s workload during fluctuating weather.
