Tips to Improve your HVAC system this Spring in Massachusetts

As New England transitions into Spring and Summer, your HVAC needs are going to change. Now, instead of pumping in warm air throughout your home, you will be circulating cool or fresh air through your home. Continue reading to learn about some tips you can implement this spring to get the most out of your HVAC system.

HVAC Filter Check

Your HVAC system has a filter to ensure large dust particles do not enter your home or ducts. The filter is located within the HVAC box located outside your home. Changing the filter, especially for the first time, will reduce the strain and energy needed to run the HVAC system efficiently. Many people see an immediate increase in airflow and reduced energy right after changing the filter.

Air Duct Review

The ducts are naturally a critical aspect of your HVAC system. While it seems there would not be much to review with your ducts, the seals can deteriorate over time, especially if the home is still settling into place. Ensure the seals around your ductwork are still properly sealed.

Implement HVAC Best Practices

As a home or business owner, the best thing you can do is ensure you are not losing conditioned air through human error. This included keeping doors or windows open. As a business owner, task your employees with being vigilant and close the door behind guests as they enter. You can even install signage telling people to do so. Additionally, make sure your employees or family keep windows closed while the system is operating.

One of the main advantages of HVAC systems is the ability to close specific sections of the building that do not need conditioned air. Be sure when you are turning on the AC, only have it go to the rooms that are being used an occupied. Also, areas like basement or 1st level rooms with limited sun do not need as much conditioned air.
