As we transition from cooler weather into warmer temps, your heater may finally be getting some reprieve. It will still be some time yet before we need to use our air conditioners on a regular basis, so now is a great time to just relax and forget about these systems, right?<\/p>\n
Well\u2026 not quite. You should be handling any late-season heating repair needs now while you have the chance, and your air conditioner is just about ready for its spring maintenance appointment\u2014more on that below.<\/p>\n
Handling these tasks, and following the efficiency tips we\u2019ve outlined below, will help you not only tackle high energy bills this summer, but will leave you in good shape all year round. Read on to learn more!<\/p>\n
During maintenance, our technicians fully inspect your HVAC system. During this inspection, we check for any components that may need adjusting, and make adjustments right there. We also check for signs of repair needs. If you have any, we\u2019ll alert you right away so you can get them on your schedule at your earliest convenience.<\/p>\n
Tackling repairs and making sure parts aren\u2019t loose within your HVAC system helps it work more efficiently, leaving you spending less on energy bills. One more task that happens during maintenance is cleaning\u2014when your system is as clean as it can be then it can work as well as it\u2019s supposed to.<\/p>\n
Ceiling fans aren\u2019t just for decoration! Most homeowners realize this. But did you know they aren\u2019t just used for summer? True, during the summer, the ceiling fan helps distribute cooled air throughout your home, making the AC <\/em>more efficient. That\u2019s what most homeowners know about ceiling fans\u2014but they don\u2019t know they can use them in the winter too.<\/p>\n By reversing the direction of the rotation of the fan in the winter (so it spins clockwise), you can help to force heated air trapped at the ceiling and high points of your home back down into the living space where it will do the most good. This means you can turn your thermostat down a couple degrees and effectively save energy, and money.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s homes are sealed up pretty tightly during construction. They\u2019re done so to help boost your HVAC efficiency and prevent conditioned air from escaping your living space. If your home is aging however, or if any damage has been done, it is possible that you\u2019ve developed air leaks. In some cases, it can even be that the insulation you have in place to prevent unwanted heat transfer has degraded, or was never properly installed to begin with.<\/p>\n Whatever the case is, by investing in a professional home energy audit, you can effectively take steps to reduce heat transfer. We may recommend things like air sealing, insulation upgrades, or even simple weather stripping applied around drafty windows and doors. Remember, even the most efficient HVAC systems can\u2019t do their job as well as can be expected if you\u2019re losing air.<\/p>\n When you\u2019re looking for an HVAC company in Bethel Park, PA<\/a> that you can trust, call the friendly staff at Boehmer Heating & Cooling<\/a>.
