When it comes to commercial and residential HVAC systems, property managers, property owners, and homeowners often have questions and concerns about the importance of HVAC systems and services.
HVAC systems are essential for controlling and maintaining a healthy and comfortable work or living environment in our businesses and homes. However, when it comes to commercial and residential HVAC systems, property managers, property owners, and homeowners often have questions and concerns about the importance of HVAC systems and services. So, here are some answers to three commonly asked questions that can help you keep your commercial and residential HVAC system properly functioning throughout the seasons.
Why Is HVAC Maintenance So Important?
In order to prolong your HVAC system’s lifespan, prevent the need for frequent and costly repairs or replacements, and keep your system running smoothly and efficiently, routine HVAC maintenance is key. Ultimately, scheduling and performing routine maintenance on your HVAC helps ensure that your system is updated and functioning efficiently without any problems, which can help save you time and money while maintaining a healthy and comfortable environment to work and live in.
How Often Should My Air Filter Be Checked or Changed?
It’s recommended that an HVAC’s air filter be inspected at least once a month and changed every three months. Checking and changing your HVAC’s air filter is one of the most important aspects of HVAC maintenance. It helps improve your indoor air quality, keeps your HVAC system running smoothly and efficiently, reduces the risk of repairs or replacement, and prolongs its lifespan. It’s especially important to check and change your air filter during allergy season or seasons of excess use, such as spring and summer.
How Can My HVAC Lower My Monthly Utility Bills?
HVAC systems in commercial and residential properties are constantly running and consume large amounts of energy for cooling and heating, especially during the warming and cooling seasons, where temperatures fluctuate from high to low. This can result in higher utility bills while decreasing your HVAC’s life expectancy and efficiency over time. Listed below are some helpful tips for reducing your property’s monthly utility bills:
- Regularly having your HVAC inspected and serviced
