We’re right in the thick of it now: the middle of summer in Texas. Your air conditioner is working the hardest it ever does, and you’re probably retreating into the cool comfort of your air conditioned home as often as you can. Is there anything you should be doing to keep your HVAC system in good shape throughout the summer? Yes! We’ll tell you five things to do.
Perhaps you haven’t thought about your furnace in a while. You certainly haven’t had to use it! But now is the best time to think about your furnace and what it might need. You want to avoid needing furnace repairs, having breakdowns, or allowing an unsafe situation to develop during the winter when you really need your heat. So while you have plenty of time, you should consider how your furnace performed last winter and whether you had any concerns about it. And you should learn a bit about the heat exchanger, the component that keeps you and your family safe from carbon monoxide poisoning, so that if a problem does occur, you’ll be able to resolve it quickly and safely.
