We still have some more weeks left of warm Oregon days, but it won’t be long until we start feeling the chill of the autumn air. Is your HVAC system ready to handle the late summer heat and cool fall days? Here are some important reminders to ensure you stay comfortable, no matter what kind of weather we get.
Get a system tune up.
Professional HVAC maintenance is crucial. Why? Because it keeps your system running at peak efficiency and can help prolong its lifespan! If you forget about it or simply don’t think it’s important and neglect it, you could be risking an unexpected and expensive system breakdown. Basic annual maintenance helps keep things running smoothly. And it gives our licensed techs the chance to point out any potential problem spots and fix them before they become larger problems. The end of summer into early fall is the best time to schedule your HVAC tune up.
Think about convenience and efficiency.
The end of summer means back to school and the beginning of new routines for many Oregonians. This time of year, things can get very busy! So, consider how you can make your home more efficient and convenient. Installing a programmable thermostat is a great way to do that. These devices regulate the temperature in your home – even when you’re running from work, to school, to sports practice, to family gatherings, off-site meetings, and more. Simply set your desired temperature to adjust when you want it to turn up or down, off or on, and then head out. You can save up to 20 percent on your annual utilities this way, and you can even program the temperature from your smart phone.
Clean or replace air filters.
Bi-monthly filter changes or cleaning for your system is important. Clean filters translate to cleaner indoor air. Dirty or clogged filters make it difficult for smooth airflow and can put extra strain on your machine. Looking for even better cleaner air that can help reduce allergens, bacteria, or airborne pathogens that cause illness? Install a Reme Halo In-Duct Air Purifier this autumn. It’s one of the best ways you can bring fresh air and better health into your home.
Ask any Oregonian what the best time of year is here, and you’ll probably hear summer or fall. It’s one of the best times to get outside and enjoy the beauty! And once you’re done adventuring, you’ll want to come back to a home that’s kept at the temperature you think’s best.
