Keep Your HVAC Unit Working Strong This Winter | Teems Electric

When the weather outside is frightful, you want to make sure your home is delightful, which means making sure your heating unit is working to its full potential.

The best way to keep your heating unit working strong all winter long is to take steps to maintain it throughout the year. Our team at Teems Electric wants to offer you some tips on how you can add years to the life of your heating unit.

Get a Programmable Thermostat

Do you have a habit of constantly messing with the thermostat in your home during the winter, moving it up and down a couple degrees every day?

Why not invest a little money to purchase a programmable thermostat? With a programmable thermostat, you can set your home for different temps at different times of the day. So, for example, you can increase the temperature while you’re at home, but lower it slightly while you’re away from home during the day. And you won’t constantly have to change it manually.

Give Your HVAC Unit a Good Cleaning

Is your HVAC unit still covered with leaves from the fall? It is time to finally clean off the debris that is on and surrounding your HVAC unit, which could end up clogging or even breaking it if the conditions are right.

Once of the best ways to clean your HVAC unit is to use a watering hose to wash off any dust or dirt. A professional can do a deep-clean to ensure all parts of the unit are clear of external debris and any harmful residue.

Inspect Your HVAC Unit for Damage

While you may not have noticed it previously, take the time to look at your HVAC unit closely to ensure the seals are tight and nothing is cracked. Cracks can end up causing leaks to your HVAC unit, which can cause serious and costly problems in the future.

Therefore, if you see any cracks or other issues on your HVAC unit, give our team a call today in order to set up an appointment to get your HVAC unit maintained and/or fixed before issues worsen.
