With over 68 years of experience serving the San Luis Obispo County community, we’ve learned a thing or two about keeping your home comfortable year-round.
Regular Filter Changes
One of the simplest yet most crucial tasks for maintaining your HVAC system is regularly changing the air filters. Clogged filters restrict airflow, causing your system to work harder and consume more energy. Aim to change your filters every three months or as recommended by the manufacturer.
Annual Professional Tune-ups
- Heating System: Schedule an annual tune-up before the winter season to ensure your furnace or heat pump is running efficiently and safely.
- Air Conditioning System: Have your AC unit serviced before the hot summer months to prevent breakdowns and enjoy optimal cooling performance.
During these tune-ups, our certified technicians will thoroughly clean and inspect your system, making any necessary adjustments or repairs to keep it running at peak condition.
Proper Thermostat Settings
Adjusting your thermostat settings can significantly impact your energy bills and system’s longevity. In the summer, set your thermostat to 78°F or higher when you’re home and raise it a few degrees when you’re away. In the winter, aim for a comfortable 68°F and lower the temperature when you’re out or sleeping.
Ductwork Inspection and Sealing
Leaky ductwork can waste a significant amount of energy and compromise indoor air quality. Have your ductwork inspected and sealed by professionals to ensure efficient airflow and prevent the circulation of dust, allergens, and other contaminants.
