HVAC Maintenance Tips for Homeowners

Did you know that half of your total household energy consumption is due to your HVAC system? You can save thousands of dollars by properly maintaining your home's heating and cooling system. Here's a partial list to help get you started:

• Make time for regular tune-ups and preventive maintenance every spring and fall to help prepare your system for the change in season and prevent major breakdowns.

• A filter change every 30 days can improve the air quality and help you lower energy consumption.

• Remove clutter around the outside unit of your HVAC. Clearing your space from fallen leaves, twigs, and debris can help maintain the proper airflow and help minimize fire hazards around your system.
