Find those below, and call our Carrier® experts with any questions or concerns.
Expert Advice for Ultimate Home Comfort
1. Perfect Your Programming Skills
Whether you’ve installed a new furnace, AC, or both, make sure you have a solid understanding of how a programmable thermostat can enhance its operation. These devices enable you to schedule temperature changes throughout the day. You won’t have to constantly adjust the thermostat to stay comfortable. And not only that, but you’ll also see savings on your energy bill by keeping the system off or running low when you aren’t home.
2. Replace Your Air Filters Regularly
For the best results with your new HVAC system or systems, replace your furnace air filter every one to three months. This ensures better air quality—and a clean filter also makes it easier for your furnace and AC to push warm air through your home’s ductwork.
3. Make Annual Maintenance a Priority
Just like any other home system or appliance, proper maintenance is key to the longevity of your new HVAC system. It improves energy efficiency, reduces the chance of breakdowns, and ensures your comfort. Be sure to schedule service once every year.
4. Increase Efficiency With Fans and Curtains
To get even more out of your new HVAC system, take advantage of other ways to increase air circulation. Run your ceiling fans to help distribute the cool or warm air more evenly through your home. Close curtains during the day in the summer to minimize heat and leave them open to help naturally warm your rooms.
5. Keep the Area Around Outdoor Units Clear
Whether it’s an AC or a heat pump, ensure the areas surrounding your outdoor units are free of leaves, sticks, or anything else that could interfere with system performance.
6. Insulate Your Home
Even a brand-new HVAC system can only do so much if air is leaking through windows and doors. Check these areas for any gaps or openings and seal them to help your HVAC systems run as efficiently as possible.
