As a first-time homebuyer, you’re just getting settled in your new place. There an abundance of items on your to-do list, from buying furniture to addressing the landscape.
Owning your first house is exciting! Don’t let that excitement distract you from learning how all of the components in your home works—including your HVAC system. If you’re moving in during the hot, summer months, you’ll want to pay extra attention to your air conditioner. This will help ensure you stay comfortable in your new home throughout the warmer temps.
So, what do you need to know?
- Identify Your System—Make sure you know the make and model of your system. This should be indicated on the equipment itself. It will be helpful if you need to reach out to a professional for repair, routine maintenance or general questions.
- Get to Know the Thermostat—When it comes to sustaining indoor comfort and managing energy costs, your thermostat can be one of your best friends. Take the time to look over your thermostat to understand where you can earn efficiencies—such as programmable thermostats that allow you to adjust the temperature even if you aren’t at home.
- Find a Reputable HVAC Company—Routine maintenance is critical to making sure your air conditioner continues to run properly and pinpoint any issues before they become costlier to fix. Comfort Zone, LLC in Cape Coral can offer the service that you need, and offer some tips on efficiency and how to enhance indoor air quality and home comfort.
- Don’t Forget Your Filter—Outside of ongoing maintenance, one of the best ways to keep your air conditioner operating efficiently is to switch the air filter. Air filters are usually located in the blower compartment of your furnace, in an attached filter case or in a wall-mounted return air grille.
