Tips for NC Heating & Cooling
Maintaining Your HVAC System

Tips for home HVACAs a Raleigh, NC home owner, nothing is more frustrating than having to live with a broken home heating or cooling system. For many North Carolina businesses, being able to rely on their commercial HVAC systems could be a matter of making or breaking their bottom line.

An ounce of prevention (and maintenance) is worth a pound of cure (or HVAC repair!). Maintaining your Raleigh-Durham residential or commercial HVAC system will save you time and money — that you otherwise could be forced to spend on replacing and repairing your heating or air conditioning. It can also save you money by increasing the energy efficiency of your heating, cooling, dehumidification or refrigeration system.

We’ve outlined some tips and information below to help our North Carolina customers get the most life out of their heating and cooling.

Heating & Air Tips:

  • Regularly change filters every month during peak cooling or heating seasons. New filters usually only cost a few dollars. Dirty filters cost more to use, overwork the equipment and result in lower indoor air quality.
  • Before each heating and cooling season, have Mechanical HVAC Services professionally tune-up your heating and cooling equipment. This is the biggest step to preventing major malfunctions and helps the equipment run more effiecently
  • Contact Mechanical HVAC Services to install an Energy Star qualified programmable thermostat to automate your HVAC system. This solid-state, electronic device optimizes HVAC operation “24/7″ based on your schedule, and can be “overridden” as needed for unscheduled events. This “smart thermostat” can also turn on the HVAC system one hour before you arrive home, instead of heating or cooling your home when you are not there!
  • Contact a Mechanical HVAC Services professional to inspect your home’s ducts.
  • If you have a gas fired heating system, make sure you have a carbon monoxide detector installed.
