Hit a “Home” Run with Your Comfort This Spring
Okay, baseball fans, it’s that time again—baseball season. Spring training is in the works and opening day is just around the corner. And just like the players on the diamond, you need your heating and cooling system to be prepared to secure a win. So, suit up and get ready for some practice swings. Because our comfort coaches are explaining how you can step up to the plate and avoid striking out this season.
Score Big Wins This Season
Follow these pre-season tactics and your home will be a winner.
Warmups
Just like the pros warm up with stretching and weight training during the off season, you should also practice some “warmups” with your home comfort system. Between winter and spring, always pay attention to your system. Is your temperature consistent? Do you notice hot and cold spots in your home? If something doesn’t feel right, call for an HVAC tune-up.
Practice
For teams to work in unison, they need practice. For your HVAC system to work seamlessly, it needs attention, too! Before spring arrives, practice these annual habits: schedule regular HVAC service, replace filters, clean vents, and calibrate your thermostat.
Consider a Trade
If your HVAC system didn’t make the cut during winter, you might be considering a trade. Replacing your current system with an energy-efficient update can do wonders for your home comfort. From saving money and energy to experiencing pure comfort 24/7, sometimes a trade results in a home team win!
Get on Base with These Tips
Now that your system is in top shape, we don’t want you striking out this season. Avoid these common mistakes for your cooling system and you’ll be a real all-star.
Strike One: Forgetting to clean AC coils
To prep for a winning season, don’t forget about your AC coils. Grime, dirt, and dust can collect on your cools during the off season. Extra dirt may lead to a loss of efficiency and higher than expected energy bills. ARS professionals can do a thorough job of cleaning your AC coils, so you have total peace of mind. If you haven’t scheduled an AC tune up— Strike one!
Strike Two: Forgetting to schedule annual maintenance
You go to the dentist every six months, right? Well, your HVAC deserves the same type of regular checkup. Don’t forget that HVAC service keeps your system running smoothly and helps lower energy bills. Missed out on this? Strike two!
Strike Three: Setting the cooling temperature too low
Once the weather changes and you turn on that AC system, don’t even think about setting it too low. Believe it or not, lowering the temperature setting will not cool your home faster. Instead, it will just make it run harder and waste energy. Place the thermoset at a comfortable setting and let the system work it’s efficiency magic! Guilty of lowering that temp too much? Strike three and you’re out!
