As the warm, sunny days of early summer arrive in beautiful Santa Cruz, we at Bogner HVAC want to help you stay cool and comfortable. Here are some essential tips and ideas to prepare your home HVAC system for the summer heat.
Schedule a Professional Tune-Up
A professional tune-up ensures your HVAC system is running efficiently and effectively. Our expert technicians will check for any issues, clean your system, and make necessary adjustments to keep your home cool all summer long.
Change Your Air Filters
Regularly changing your air filters is crucial for maintaining good air quality and system efficiency. We recommend replacing them every 1-3 months, especially during the peak usage season.
Clean Your Outdoor Unit
Ensure your outdoor unit is free from debris, leaves, and grass clippings. Keeping it clean improves airflow and helps your system run more efficiently.
Check Your Thermostat
Make sure your thermostat is working correctly and consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat. This upgrade can help you save energy and money by allowing you to set temperatures according to your schedule.
Seal and Insulate Your Home
Properly sealing and insulating your home helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature and reduces the workload on your HVAC system. Check for any gaps or leaks around windows and doors and seal them accordingly.
Consider an Energy-Efficient Upgrade
If your HVAC system is over ten years old or not performing as well as it used to, it might be time for an upgrade. Modern, energy-efficient systems can provide better cooling and significant energy savings.
At Bogner HVAC, we’re committed to keeping your home comfortable and your energy bills low. If you have any questions or need to schedule a service, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Stay cool and enjoy the sunshine!
