Memorial Day marks the beginning of the hotter months in Humble, New Caney, The Woodlands, Aldine, Huffman, Crosby, and Cypress, making it the perfect time to ensure your HVAC system is in peak condition. At Air Tech of Humble, we understand the importance of a reliable and efficient cooling system, especially when you’re hosting family and friends for holiday gatherings. Here are our top tips for keeping your HVAC system running smoothly and efficiently during the Memorial Day weekend and beyond.
Optimize Your Thermostat Settings
It’s tempting to lower the thermostat to keep your space cooler for guests, but maintaining a consistent, moderate temperature is key. We recommend setting your thermostat at 78 degrees when you’re home. Using a programmable thermostat can save you up to 10% a year on cooling by automatically raising the temperature when you’re away and cooling the house down before anyone arrives.
Ensure Regular Maintenance
Air Tech of Humble offers detailed maintenance checks to optimize your system’s performance. Regular maintenance not only helps prevent unexpected breakdowns but also ensures your HVAC operates efficiently. Our technicians will inspect coolant levels, test system controls, and clean the coils, preparing your system to work efficiently throughout the summer.
Replace or Clean Air Filters
To maintain optimal air flow and air quality, regularly check and replace your HVAC filters, especially before high-use periods like Memorial Day. Clean filters reduce your system’s workload, which can lower energy costs and reduce the risk of overheating during the summer months.
Utilize Ceiling Fans to Assist Cooling
Ceiling fans complement your HVAC system effectively by circulating cool air throughout your rooms. This allows you to set the thermostat a bit higher without impacting comfort levels. Ensure your fans are rotating counterclockwise during the summer to push cool air down.
