As Memorial Day approaches, marking the unofficial start to summer in areas like Northshore, Covington, and Mandeville, ensuring that your air conditioning system is in top shape is crucial. At DuPont Air Conditioning & Heating, we’re committed to keeping your space cool and efficient during the sweltering months ahead. Here are some expert tips to keep your HVAC system in excellent condition throughout the holiday weekend and beyond.
Smart Thermostat Settings
To maximize energy efficiency while maintaining comfort, it’s essential to smartly manage your thermostat settings. We recommend setting your thermostat at a comfortable 78 degrees when you’re home and increasing it slightly when you’re not. This minor adjustment can significantly cut down your energy usage. If you’re still without a programmable thermostat, now might be the time to invest in one. It automatically adjusts temperatures according to your schedule, improving both comfort and energy savings.
Regular HVAC Maintenance
The secret to reliable cooling throughout the summer lies in regular maintenance. DuPont Air Conditioning & Heating provides comprehensive maintenance services that include checking your system’s refrigerant levels, cleaning the coils, and ensuring all components are functioning effectively. Routine maintenance not only prevents unexpected failures but also boosts your system’s efficiency.
Update Your Air Filters
An easy yet powerful way to enhance your HVAC system’s efficiency is by regularly changing your air filters. Clean filters improve airflow and air quality, easing the workload on your system. This simple maintenance step can reduce your energy bills and prolong the lifespan of your HVAC unit.
Utilize Ceiling Fans
Using ceiling fans in conjunction with your HVAC system can enhance air circulation and make your home feel cooler without the need to lower the thermostat further. Make sure your fans are set to rotate counterclockwise during the summer, pushing cool air downwards, allowing you to keep the thermostat set higher.
