These New Year’s HVAC Resolutions Are Key

The turning of a calendar page into a new year gives you an excellent opportunity to make a fresh, clean start, aka HVAC resolutions. As you plan to spark positive change in your health, fitness, and finances, don’t forget about your home-comfort system. After all, you spend close to 90% of your time indoors, so it pays to foster a healthier environment at home. Here are some New Year’s HVAC resolutions you should consider.

Add a Zoning System

Does your home have two or more levels? Or, do your family members have different temperature preferences? Consider adding a zoning system as one of your HVAC resolutions. The system lets you program different temperatures for the different zones in your home, helping ensure that every room is always perfectly comfortable.

Expand Your HVAC Knowledge

Make an effort to learn more about your home’s HVAC system. That will help you avoid problems and identify and deal with potential issues before they become catastrophic — and expensive.

Schedule Preventive Maintenance

Even though you may be able to spot small problems, it always helps to get a second opinion from a professional. Schedule a tuneup for your heating system in the fall and one for your cooling system in the spring. Try arranging for a maintenance session before turning on your system to allow your technician to catch performance issues early.

Switch to a Smart Thermostat

Smart thermostats come with a number of energy-efficient features. They connect to your Wi-Fi network, allowing you to adjust your temperature or air quality from wherever you are. They can track your energy usage to help you be more energy efficient. Some can even detect when you’re coming back home and turn on your HVAC system for you.

Find the Best Local Contractor

Don’t wait for an HVAC emergency to start scrambling for a company to call. Prepare in advance by doing research and connecting with the best HVAC contractor in your area.
