5 Unforgivable Sins Of HVAC

You may not know much about your HVAC system, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to properly maintain it.

Keeping your business place or home cool in the summer and warm during the winter is important — especially since we spend so much time indoors. But with all of the different types of air conditioners and heaters out there, it can be difficult to know what to look for when things go wrong.

Here are five things you should never do with your HVAC unit:

1. Don’t Ignore Strange Noises.

One of the most common issues with HVAC systems is that they make strange noises. If your system is making an unusual sound, it may be a sign of trouble. The longer you wait to call in a professional, the more expensive it will be to get things fixed.

If you hear something strange coming from your system in Palm Beach County, Broward County, and surrounding South Florida areas, don’t ignore it or assume that everything is fine; instead, contact an HVAC expert immediately!

2. Not Changing The Air Filter Regularly.

Changing the air filter is important for HVAC systems and can help extend the life of your system. It can also save you money in the long run, which is why it’s a good idea to keep an eye on when it’s time to change yours.

Changing your air filter every month or so can help reduce allergens and dust in the home.

3. Ignoring The Programmable Thermostat.

If you’re anything like me, the idea of a programmable thermostat might feel like something out of an episode of Star Trek. But it’s actually quite useful for controlling your home’s temperature when you’re away or asleep.

You can set the thermostat to maintain a comfortable temperature while you sleep and then kick into action when it’s time to get up in the morning, saving electricity along the way.

Setting up a programmable thermostat is easy: just follow these steps:

– Find where your current thermostat is located. It should be somewhere visible from both inside and outside of your property like restaurants, grocery stores, and other places (usually near or on an exterior wall).

– Take note of its model number so that you know what type you need later on; this may not be necessary if there’s only one type available where yours has been installed.

– Remove any existing wiring and replace it with fresh wire using crimp connectors (you can buy these at any hardware store). Here’s how they work: insert each end into its respective slot before closing them together by pressing down on their handles until they click firmly into place! That way no one will get shocked by accident… unless they try really hard.

– Follow manufacturer instructions carefully as each brand differs slightly from others – especially regarding how much wire length needs cutting down before installing new connectors – but once completed properly everything should fit nicely together without sticking out too much beyond their designated areas.

4. Not Arranging For Seasonal Maintenance.

The following are some of the most common seasonal maintenance tasks:

– Cleaning. This includes vacuuming the blower compartment, wiping all surfaces, and cleaning the air filter. If your system has a condenser unit (the part that cools the air), it should also be wiped down.

– Testing. This is where you check for leaks from refrigerant lines, motors, or any other part of your HVAC system that could cause problems later on if not addressed now.

You should also test for proper airflow throughout each room in which you want to use your HVAC system so that temperatures remain consistent throughout each room at all times during summer months when cooling needs are greatest; this way, you won’t have to spend a fortune on energy bills just because one area isn’t getting enough cool air!

5. Thinking That Small Problems Are Harmless.

You may think that small problems are harmless, but they can lead to bigger problems. A little leak might be a small issue for you, but it can cause other problems, too.

That same leak could cause your office or home carpeting to become damp and moldy if left unchecked. A drain in the floor can lead to water and even structural damage if not addressed quickly enough.
Small issues may also cause problems for others around you as well.

If your system isn’t running efficiently because of a clogged filter or dirty coils on your air conditioner, then everyone else who uses that unit will suffer from increased temperatures as well!

That means everyone else will have higher utility bills due to having their systems work harder than normal – all because yours wasn’t working properly!

Bottom Line.

HVAC systems are complex and can be dangerous. If you have a problem with your units, it’s important to address it quickly. The longer you wait, the worse it will get.
