The holiday season brings loved ones together, but hosting can be a challenge–especially when creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. A well-functioning HVAC system plays a crucial role in ensuring your home is holiday ready.
In this guide, we will share how to keep your HVAC system ready for holiday hosting, so you can focus on what matters most–creating lasting memories with loved ones.
1. Schedule an HVAC Check-Up
Prepare your heating system to handle increased demand that comes with colder weather and extra guests. A well-maintained HVAC system ensures even heating, lowers energy costs, and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns when you need it most.
2. Keep Your Air Clean
Extra holiday guests can quickly affect your home’s air quality, with allergens and particles building up faster than usual. Consider changing your heating and cooling system’s filters before your gatherings to help keep the air fresh and ensure everyone’s comfort.
3. Monitor your Thermostat
Guests, cooking, and holiday decorations can cause temperature fluctuations in your home. Lowering the thermostat slightly before gatherings helps balance the extra heat and ensures you and your guests stay perfectly comfortable.
4. Keep Vents and Ducts Clear
Blocked vents and air ducts can restrict airflow, negatively affecting your home's comfort and efficiency. Taking a moment to check for vents or ducts obstructed by furniture, holiday decorations or debris can help ensure warm air circulates evenly throughout your home.
If your heating and cooling system is over 10 years old or struggles to maintain comfortable temperatures in your home, it may be time to consider an upgrade. Common signs include: frequent repairs, rising energy bills, and/or persistent air quality issues.
