Winter is coming. Is your HVAC system ready? The cold we brave in the Red River Valley every year puts your HVAC unit to the test. Here are three things you can do today to help make sure your system is ready to take on the winter chill.
1. Clean or Replace Air Filters
Clearing dust and debris from your air filters is essential to the health of your building occupants and the HVAC system itself. When your air filters are clean, then the air you’re breathing is also cleaner.
But did you know that your HVAC system can also breathe easier with clean air filters? Clean filters allow for optimal air flow through your system, allowing your system to operate at maximum efficiency. This helps to keep operating costs down and increases the overall life of your system.
2. Install a Programmable Thermostat
Set your building and budget up for success with a programmable thermostat. Its an easy way to control, manage and monitor your systems operating temperatures and adjust them for optimal system efficiency. You can also take it a step further with an entire RedLINK system, which connects all of your comfort services into a handy app that you can control from anywhere, at any time.
3. Preventative Maintenance Appointment
The best piece of advice we can give you for increasing your HVAC systems efficiency? A good old-fashioned preventative maintenance appointment from your trusted HVAC technician. Giving your tech a chance to get into your system before the dead of winter hits allows them to do a couple of important things.
First, you have a chance to fix any existing issues to help you avoid a system failure, which can be expensive to repair. Second, these preventative appointments provide a chance for your technician to identify any potential issues or system age limitations that could be problematic in the future, and review your options for updates or replacements.
Take these three steps to help make sure your HVAC system is ready to keep you nice and warm this coming winter season. Need a helping hand? Our team of certified technicians is ready to help.
