Energy Efficiency Matters
Living in New England means dealing with harsh winters and humid summers. Your heating and cooling systems work overtime during these peak seasons, making efficiency crucial. Consider installing a programmable thermostat to optimize your energy usage and reduce utility costs.
When to Call the Professionals
While some maintenance tasks can be handled by homeowners, certain situations require professional attention:
- Unusual noises from your system
- Inconsistent heating or cooling
- Significant increases in energy bills
- Poor indoor air quality
- System age over 10 years
Remember that preventive maintenance is always more cost-effective than emergency repairs. By staying proactive with your HVAC system’s care, you can ensure optimal performance throughout every season in our challenging New England climate.
