How to Make Your Home More Comfortable TIP # 1


The number one way to make your home more comfortable may very well be the easiest. Maintenance! We are constantly moving at the speed of life and often times that keeps us from staying on top of it all. Your HVAC maintenance is just the sort of thing that can go unnoticed until it is too late.
Monthly filter replacements should be at the top of the list. The air filter catches dust and dander as well as other allergens and pollutants getting more and more obstructed. The harder to get air through this filter, the more toil and strain put on your HVAC system. Keeping this inexpensive filter changed monthly will go a long way in not only extending the life of your system but also keeping the air you breath inside the home … well... breathable!
Annual checkups are another essential maintenance interval that should not slip you by. Your heating and air conditioning system is no small investment. Keeping it running tip top should be elevated on your list concerns. Get ahold of your local Lennox dealer and ask about what they offer for a scheduled maintenance program. Many will offer a biannual program where a HVAC professional will come out to your home as the summer air conditioning season is approaching and again as the winter heating period sets in. They will give your system a through check up and advise you on anything they may find. Nobody knows these systems like they do and you can expect to catch any issue before it becomes a problem.
Set your calendar reminder for “Air Filter Change” on the 15th of each month and call your local Lennox dealer today to set up a biannual program. Finally, you can cross HVAC maintenance off that list of concerns. Now if only this blog had advice on car batteries...
