Preparing for HVAC Installation or Replacement
If you’re considering a new HVAC system or HVAC installation, proper planning is essential. Start by scheduling an energy audit to determine your home’s heating and cooling needs. Factors like square footage, insulation levels, and window efficiency play a role in sizing the right system. Opt for energy-efficient models to save on utility bills in the long run.
Maintaining Your Air Conditioner
- Change air filters regularly (every 1-3 months) to improve efficiency and indoor air quality.
