Keeping Your Home Cool & Comfortable
As a Trussville, Alabama homeowner, you know all too well the intense heat and humidity that can descend upon us during the summer months. With temperatures routinely soaring into the 90s, your HVAC system is put to the test, working overtime to keep your home cool and comfortable.
However, extreme heat can take a toll on even the most well-maintained HVAC equipment. That’s why it’s crucial to stay on top of seasonal tune-ups and preventative maintenance. Regular check-ups by a licensed HVAC technician can identify potential issues before they become major (and costly) problems.
Your Annual Tune-Up
During your annual tune-up, the technician will thoroughly inspect your system, cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical components, and more. They’ll also change the air filter – a step that’s often overlooked by homeowners but can have a big impact on airflow and efficiency.
Speaking of air filters, be sure to replace yours every 1-3 months during the summer. A clogged filter forces your HVAC system to work harder, driving up energy bills and potentially leading to breakdowns. Set a calendar reminder to stay on top of this easy but important maintenance task.
A Smart Investment
Another way to keep your cool this summer? Invest in a smart thermostat. These Wi-Fi-enabled devices allow you to precisely control your home’s temperature, whether you’re at work, running errands, or sound asleep. Many also offer remote access via a smartphone app, making it a breeze to make temperature adjustments on the go.
Paired with proper HVAC maintenance, a smart thermostat can deliver significant energy savings – up to 23% on cooling costs according to the EPA’s ENERGY STAR program. That’s money you can put towards other summer fun, like a trip to the Trussville Splash Pad or a night out at one of our fantastic local restaurants.
