Keeping Your Home Comfortable Year-Round
At D & K Heating & Cooling, we understand the importance of a well-functioning HVAC system. Whether you’re in Omaha, La Vista, or Papillion, NE, maintaining your heating and cooling equipment is crucial for comfort and energy efficiency. Here are some valuable tips to help you get the most out of your home’s HVAC system:
1. Regular Maintenance is Key
- Schedule professional inspections twice a year
- Change air filters monthly during peak seasons
- Keep outdoor units clear of debris
2. Optimize Your Thermostat Settings
Programming your thermostat can lead to significant energy savings. Consider setting it a few degrees higher in summer and lower in winter when you’re away or sleeping.
3. Improve Your Home’s Insulation
Proper insulation helps maintain indoor temperatures, reducing the workload on your HVAC system. Focus on attics, walls, and floors for maximum efficiency.
4. Don’t Ignore Strange Noises or Odors
If you notice unusual sounds or smells coming from your HVAC unit, it’s time to call a professional. Early detection of issues can prevent costly repairs down the line.
5. Consider Upgrading to Energy-Efficient Models
If your system is over 10 years old, newer, more efficient models could significantly reduce your energy bills and improve comfort.
