When it comes to maintaining a comfortable living space, a little DIY know-how can go a long way. At NexAir Home Services, we understand the importance of taking pride in your home, and that’s why we’ve compiled some top DIY tips to help you achieve Nex Level comfort.
1. Air Filter Replacement
Changing your HVAC system’s air filter is one of the easiest and most effective ways to improve indoor air quality and energy efficiency. A clogged filter can cause your system to work harder, leading to higher energy bills and potential breakdowns. We recommend replacing or cleaning your filter every three months or as recommended by the manufacturer.
2. Thermostat Maintenance
Your thermostat is the brain of your HVAC system, so it’s essential to keep it in top shape. Start by cleaning the exterior and interior surfaces to remove dust and debris. If you have a programmable thermostat, ensure that the settings are optimized for your daily routine to maximize energy savings.
3. Ductwork Inspection
- Check for leaks or damage in your ductwork, as these can lead to energy loss and poor air distribution.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the accessible portions of the ducts, removing any accumulated dust or debris.
- Consider professional duct cleaning every few years to ensure optimal performance.
4. Weatherstripping and Caulking
Drafty doors and windows can significantly impact your home’s energy efficiency. Inspect the weatherstripping around doors and windows, and replace any worn or damaged sections. Additionally, caulk any cracks or gaps around frames to prevent air leaks and improve insulation.
