Optimizing Energy For All Seasons by HVAC Duct Cleaning

As the seasons change, it is necessary to keep every home hot or cold as the situation might demand, though it is good to keep it ventilated always which otherwise would result in a buildup of toxins, pollutants and chemicals in the indoor air, resulting in a range of health complications for the inhabitants. In every home, old and new, it is necessary to have a good ventilation system in place just to bring in the fresh air and to drive out the stale gases, which make a healthy HVAC system.

Maintaining your HVAC system in prime condition in all types of weather can seem like a daunting task for every house owner and Morehead City Coastal Home Services HVAC service knows this. With a little help from our technicians, you can get over what might seem confusing, frustrating or problematic.

One task all house owners can accomplish without much effort is to inspect and either clean or replace your filter each month as the filter becomes clogged with dust, allergens and pollutants from the air that it sucks in. These minute dust particles build in layers over the air filter and will restrict the airflow causing the system to work harder.

A clogged air filter will put undue strain on your heating/cooling units and it can be compared to trying to breathe through a straw while jogging as this is the type of strain you want to prevent in the first place. The system, when pushed to its limit has to work harder, and it consequently uses up more energy in the process while this burden on the unit will shorten the lifespan of the system and increase your cost to operate the system.

If your air flow systems are older than 5 years, an immediate inspection by the HVAC services from Coastal Home Services to ascertain its energy efficiency and the possibility to explore energy efficient options, is a must. Don’t wait until it is really cold and you need your heater working at all costs, as getting an appointment in the peak of the season may take longer and will be costly. Be proactive and get the early bird advantage of employing professionals to inspect and turn your HVAC system in top working order now. Aiming to replace your HVAC system before it actually fails will ensure that you have time to price and research options.

As more and more homes are being planned and designed by professionals, a natural or a forced ventilation system would be in place. For a simple start, open windows and doors or switch on the attic fans for a few hours every day, weather permitting, which are some easy ways to speedup the rate of ventilation. To keep your unit running at optimum levels an annual professional inspection and maintenance is recommended, though a little homeowner upkeep will also go a long way.
