How to Minimize HVAC Wear and Tear

Experts agree that having a proper HVAC maintenance plan can go a long way in minimizing wear and tear on your HVAC system. Here are a few tips from HVAC repair expert Stone Heating and Air on how you can prevent significant damage or premature wear to your HVAC equipment.

Keep the Vents Open

Homeowners often make the common mistake of shutting off vents to rooms that aren’t being used. Keep in mind that keeping a vent shut will force your air conditioner to work harder than it should, which could potentially wear down some components more quickly.

Replace Your Old Thermostat

Upgrading your thermostat to a programmable one can help you optimize the performance of your HVAC system. Programmable thermostats allow you to key in your own settings based on the specific needs of your household. They can ensure that your air conditioner and heater won’t run unnecessarily when everyone is out of the house or sleeping. With this kind of system, you can expect your HVAC system to operate more efficiently and reduce the risk of damage.

Perform Repairs ASAP

Whether it’s heating or air conditioning repair, make sure to get the job done immediately. Don’t let one component deteriorate as you continue to use your HVAC equipment. This can have a significant impact on the system’s performance and later on result in serious damage.

Change Your AC or Heat Pump Filter

At some point, your air filter will become clogged with debris, preventing air from flowing into the indoor unit with ease. This can cause additional strain on your HVAC system, so you should replace your air filter regularly.

We had our AC go out on one of the hottest days of the year. We called as soon as they opened and they came out so quickly and offered us some loaner units to keep our babies and animals cool in the meantime. Matt was so helpful and fixed the problem quickly. He went above and beyond to help us and we will be using Stone Heating and Air to replace our unit when it’s time. They’ll be our first call in the future!

Excellent service! Excellent service! Knowledgeable staff! I was very impressed with the responsiveness and knowledge of your team. Shortly after 1 called for an appointment, Dave and Gino did a thorough inspection of my system and explained all of the areas that needed repair or replacement. They gave me short and long-term options and the benefits of both. HVAC is not something I know a lot about so I had appreciated their patience. Overall, it was a great experience! 5 STARS!! Highly recommend Stone Heating and Air!
