How to Make Fewer Inconvenient and Expensive Service Calls and Lower HVAC costs
No one enjoys wasting their hard earned money on inconvenient and expensive heating, air conditioning or plumbing service calls. Here at A-1 American, we definitely do not want you to loose any of your time or money unnecessarily. So, here are a few tips and tricks to prevent you from having to make those calls.
Plumbing and HVAC Maintenance
One of the best ways make sure that your home’s heating, air conditioning and plumbing services run in an efficient manner is by making sure that they are regularly maintained on a yearly basis. Annual system maintenance protects your household systems and makes sure that they are working at a peak efficiency. Regular HVAC system maintenance can increase your unit lifespan to up to 30%. That can mean close to six additional years of high quality efficiency. It also drastically decreases the amount of breakdowns and inefficiencies in your systems. Decreasing the amount of breakdowns of your systems also decreases your need to make expensive and inconvenient service calls.
Noticing Strange Noises
Another way to save you from having to make many service calls is by being cognizant of the noises that your heating, cooling and plumbing units are making. Strange noises are a good way to tell that that there might be a bigger problem. If you can notice these noises early on and act on them, then you won’t have to continually make unnecessary and expensive service phone calls.
Cleaning AC Unit Filters
A key way for lowering spending costs on your AC Unit is by keeping up with regular cleaning maintenance. By regularly cleaning the air conditioning ducts and filters of your unit, it will allow for it to work more efficiently and for a longer period of time. It will also reduce air borne particles in your air conditioning system.
Keeping Your HVAC System at Even Temperatures
Making sure that your HVAC systems are at even temperatures does not only ensure your personal comfort, but it also reduces your amount of energy usage. A/C systems often have optimal temperatures that would save energy in the most efficient way. A good way to find your systems optimal energy saving temperature ranges, is by taking a look at the system’s user manual. Another way to lower energy costs is by avoiding changing your temperatures to quickly. Changing your temperatures too frequently makes system run less efficiently, work a lot harder and use much more energy.
Increase Home Insulation
High energy costs can come from a multitude of places. A lack of adequate home insulation can definitely make your HVAC costs much higher than they need to be. In order to decrease these costs, make sure that your home is properly insulated. Poor insulation can be found in many homes, especially older homes. This poor insulation can cause you to loose cooled and heated air from the HVAC units. So, by making sure that your house is properly insulated, you can lower your HVAC costs.
