It’s so easy to not pay much attention at all to the Heating and Air Conditioning equipment. At least, that’s the case for me. We are blessed to have central air conditioning in our home. And it’s getting that time of year again where I’m going to have to be better at paying attention to the Heating and Air Conditioning unit. Well, I absolutely don’t have to do all that much when it comes to the heating and cooling equipment. We belong to an Heating and Air Conditioning repair plan so the heating and cooling equipment are in good hands. They Heating and Air Conditioning professionals come out twice a year to do seasonal Heating and Air Conditioning repair. This keeps the heat pump in good shape and maximizing the efficiency. We for sure need the best efficiency that we can get when it comes to how much the heat pump runs during the Summer. From June through November, the air conditioning is on just about all the time, of course, I program the digital control unit in order not to be over cooling the household while we’re away during the peak heating hours. But as the heat pump is coming back to life now that the hot and cold temperatures continue to climb, I have to refocus on the air filter. Making sure that I’m changing the air filter for the Heating and Air Conditioning equipment is important stuff. Any heat pump has to have continuous and unblocked airflow in order to work regularly. A dirty or blocked air filter is something that can absolutely put an undue strain on the heating and cooling equipment. Since the heat pump stays quiet all Winter, I’ve got to get myself back in the habit of changing the air filter once per month.
