Tips for taking care of your home’s HVAC system

Through proper installation and routine service by a NATE-certified technician, you can keep your home comfort system running efficiently for years to come. You’ll also see the difference in your energy bill.

Follow these tips for energy-efficient performance.

• Clean your air filters monthly. Dirty filters make equipment work harder and cause more wear and tear on your system. They also increase your energy bill and lessen indoor air quality.
• Choose furnaces and air conditioners bearing the ENERGY STAR® logo. A properly sized and installed ENERGY STAR® air conditioner uses up to 20 percent less electricity than older models.
• Have a technician give your home’s cooling system a pre-season tune-up so that everything is running efficiently when the 80-degree days arrive.
• Have heating and cooling equipment installed and serviced by a NATE-certified HVAC technician.
