Top 3 At-Home HVAC Maintenance Tips
- Change Your Filter Regularly
Check monthly, replace every 1-3 months. Clean filters keep airflow strong, energy bills low, and air quality healthy. - Keep Outdoor Units Clear
Remove leaves, snow, or debris and maintain 2 feet of clearance around your AC or heat pump for best performance. - Clean Vents & Registers
Vacuum and dust your supply and return vents. Make sure they’re open and not blocked by furniture or rugs.
Top 5 Tips to Improve Indoor Air Quality
- Change Filters Regularly
Replace furnace or air-return filters every 1–3 months to trap dust, pollen, and allergens before they circulate. - Add Proper Ventilation
Use exhaust fans when cooking or showering and consider an HRV/ERV system to bring in fresh outdoor air year-round. - Control Humidity
Keep indoor humidity between 30–50%. Too high = mold; too low = dry air and dust. Use dehumidifiers or humidifiers as needed. - Keep It Clean
Vacuum, dust, and wash bedding often. Choose low-VOC cleaning and home products to reduce chemical pollutants. - Use Air Purification
Add a high-efficiency air purifier or upgrade to a media or UV filtration system for deeper contaminant removal.
