5 Tips to Keep Your HVAC Healthy

Epperson Inc. • Sep 29, 2023

Your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system is a vital component of your home, providing heating and cooling to keep your home comfortable year-round. Regular maintenance and care are essential to keep it running smoothly and efficiently. That's where the Epperson Inc. Comfort Club comes in. A membership program designed to protect your home from unexpected HVAC breakdowns, the Comfort Club can add years of life to your equipment through year-round preventative maintenance. Of course, there are plenty of ways to keep your HVAC healthy, including:

Tip 1: Change Your Air Filters Regularly

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain a healthy HVAC system is to change your air filters regularly. Clogged or dirty filters can restrict airflow, causing your system to work harder and less efficiently. By replacing your filters as recommended, typically every one to three months, you can improve indoor air quality and reduce the strain on your HVAC equipment. We are happy to provide air filter fixes, upgrades, and maintenance near Somerset, Kentucky.

Tip 2: Schedule Professional Maintenance

Next on our list of tips to keep your HVAC healthy is to keep up with routine maintenance. Regular professional maintenance is essential for keeping your HVAC system in top condition. The Epperson Heating and Air HVAC Maintenance Comfort Club offers preventative maintenance year-round, ensuring that your system is inspected, cleaned, and tuned up by certified technicians. This helps identify and address potential issues before they become major problems, preventing costly breakdowns. We are proud to be your trusted team of experts for anything HVAC-related in the Mt. Vernon area.

Tip 3: Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clean

If you have a central air conditioner or a heat pump, keeping the outdoor unit clean and free from debris is crucial. Trim any vegetation or shrubs around the unit to allow for proper airflow. Regularly clean the coils and remove leaves, dirt, and debris from the area to maintain optimal performance.

Tip 4: Seal and Insulate Your Home

Proper insulation and sealing any gaps or cracks in your home's structure can significantly reduce the workload on your HVAC system, thus extending its lifespan. Well-insulated and sealed homes maintain a consistent indoor temperature, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling. This can lead to lower energy bills and less wear and tear on your HVAC equipment.

Tip 5: Use a Programmable Thermostat

Investing in a programmable thermostat allows you to set temperature schedules that align with your daily routine. You can reduce energy consumption by adjusting the temperature when you're away from home or asleep and ensuring your HVAC system doesn't have to work harder than necessary.
