Your thermostat is a seemingly minor yet highly vital part of your HVAC system. Aside from occasionally adjusting the temperature or switching between heating and cooling mode, you might not spend much time considering your thermostat’s role in your home comfort.
We want you to know that your thermostat is actually a huge factor in how comfortable your home is. From the way that you use this part of your system, to keeping it well maintained, your thermostat can truly make or break your comfort levels.
With that said, we have some tips that you may want to start to incorporate into your regular habits. These tips will help you optimize your home comfort and we are happy to report they are pretty easy too!
Your home comfort involves more than just the temperature of the air blasting through your ventilation. Your home indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a large role in how comfortable your home is. In fact, your IAQ can actually make or break your cooling system’s ability to keep you comfortable.
This is Florida so most, if not all of us, are concerned with keeping cool and comfortable throughout the year. You work hard to make sure that your air conditioning system is kept in great condition with regular maintenance and timely repairs. You even take the extra step of checking on your home’s sealing and insulation to make sure that none of the cool air your AC produces is being wasted.
It is officially the holiday season and this is not the time of year that you are going to be okay with wasting any of your hard-earned money. That is why you take such good care of your home comfort system after all; you want to make sure that your HVAC system is running as efficiently as possible so not one dime goes to waste. A large part of this is making sure that the air that you pump into your home is of good quality.
In most cases, the average person doesn’t know how their air conditioner works. They just know that when it does it produces the cold air they want and when it doesn’t things can get uncomfortably warm really fast.
Dogs, cats, rabbit, birds, the list goes on. So many of us have furry critters that we consider a part of the family. We love to pet them, cuddle with them, and we brush or bathe them when it is needed (if they let us that is.)
When you have to purchase a new air conditioning unit, whether for a brand new install or to replace an old system, you want to make sure that your new one is worth your investment. After all, purchasing a cheaper unit that doesn’t work as well or is less energy efficient will simply ending up costing you more cash in the long run (but you already knew that).
Did you know the air you breath can impact your health? We aren’t just talking about smog; we mean the amount of dust, pollen and other contaminants in the air that might enter your lungs, can have an effect on your health. What’s more, this debris can impact the health of your air conditioner over time too, making it harder for your system to run the more it builds up.
We totally get it — letting go of something you love is never easy! But here’s the thing: sometimes saying goodbye is for the better, especially when it comes to operating an older, outdated air conditioner!
