As Memorial Day nears, signaling the start of summer in College Station, Bryan, Navasota, Anderson, Richards, and Caldwell, it’s crucial to ensure your air conditioning system is ready to handle the heat. At Barkers Cooling, Heating, & Plumbing, we’re committed to keeping your home both comfortable and efficient. Follow these expert tips to maintain your HVAC system in top condition during the holiday weekend and the warmer months that follow.
Smart Thermostat Settings
To optimize energy efficiency while maintaining comfort, thoughtful management of your thermostat settings is important. We recommend setting your thermostat at a cozy 78 degrees when you’re home and turning it up slightly when you’re away. This minor adjustment can greatly reduce your energy consumption. If you’re not already using a programmable thermostat, investing in one can significantly enhance comfort and energy savings as it automatically adjusts temperatures according to your schedule.
Regular HVAC Maintenance
Ensuring reliability throughout the summer begins with regular maintenance. Barkers Cooling offers comprehensive maintenance services that inspect your system’s refrigerant levels, clean the coils, and verify that all components are functioning efficiently. Keeping up with maintenance not only helps prevent unexpected failures but also keeps your system running efficiently.
Update Your Air Filters
One of the easiest ways to enhance your HVAC system’s efficiency is by regularly changing your air filters. Clean filters better airflow and air quality, reducing the strain on your system. This simple maintenance task can help lower energy bills and prolong the lifespan of your HVAC unit.
Utilize Ceiling Fans
Using ceiling fans in conjunction with your HVAC system can improve air circulation and make your home feel cooler without needing to lower the thermostat further. Ensure your fans are set to rotate counterclockwise during the summer to help push cool air down, which allows you to set the thermostat a bit higher.
