Seasonal HVAC Tips to Keep Your Home Comfortable Year-Round

Your HVAC system works hard every season to keep your home comfortable, safe, and energy-efficient. With just a few smart habits and timely maintenance, you can improve system performance, lower your utility invoices, and avoid costly breakdowns. Here are practical seasonal HVAC tips from the experts at WBR Heating & Cooling to keep things running smoothly, no matter the weather.

Spring: Prepare Your AC for the Hot Months

As temperatures rise, it’s time to make sure your air conditioner is ready to move.

• Schedule a professional AC tune-up to check refrigerant levels, clean coils, and ensure components are administration efficiently.
• Change or clean your air filters for better airflow and indoor air quality.
• Inspect the outdoor unit—clear away leaves, debris, or boughs that could block airflow.

A pre-summer inspection can prevent mid-season malfunctions and ensure peak efficiency when you need it most.

Summer: Optimize Cooling and Vitality Usage

During the hottest months, your HVAC system runs the hardest. Help it out with these overturns:

• Set your thermostat during the day to balance comfort and vitality savings.
• Use ceiling fans to circulate cool air and reduce the load on your AC.
• Avoid heat buildup by closing curtains during peak sun hours and minimizing the use of heat-producing devices.

If your system struggles to cool evenly, ask about zoning options or upgrading to a more efficient unit like a ductless mini-split.
