The holiday season means cold temperatures outside your Las Cruces, NM, home. With an efficient and reliable heating system, you can stay warm and comfortable indoors, but it’s important to remember the cost of this comfort. Consider scheduling professional services for your home’s heating and cooling system for optimal comfort at an affordable price. Here are a few tips to help your HVAC system during the holiday season.
1. New Air Filters
Clogged and dirty air filters cannot stop dust and debris from entering your system and can inhibit airflow throughout your furnace and ductwork. Change your furnace filters regularly, usually every one to three months, depending on the style and your furnace.
2. Professional Duct Cleaning
Our technicians clean ducts using compressed air and a powerful high-suction vacuum system. The air helps blow buildup through the ducts and into the vacuum while the vacuum sucks out the remaining particles. Duct cleaning is best as a routine service scheduled every three to five years and helps prevent blockages, foul odors, and strange noises. With clean ducts, your furnace can blow hot air directly to the vents without any obstacles in the ducts.
3. Preventative Maintenance
Routine maintenance is essential every year for your heating system to remain reliable, safe, and efficient. Our technicians complete numerous different tasks during annual maintenance to clean, tune, and inspect your system. We take special care to ensure that all parts and components are in good working condition. We check the utility components of the system for safety and reliability. We also test your heating system to ensure adequate and efficient hot air from the vents. To avoid forgetting to schedule service and get discounts on repairs and more, our Customer Care Club takes the guesswork out of keeping your heating system in top shape.
4. New Thermostat
A programmable thermostat gives you greater control over comfort by allowing you to set the temperature in your house based on your routine. The heating system automatically adjusts based on these settings, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to turn the heat down when you go to sleep or leave the house.
Likewise, a smart thermostat is similar but includes advanced features. Your smart thermostat is connected to your Wi-fi, giving you remote access and allowing you to make adjustments even when you aren’t home. Smart thermostats also record data so that you can analyze your usage, and over time, the device can make adjustments on its own.
5. Upgraded Furnace
Aging heating systems lose efficiency as the years go by. If you’ve started seeing an increase in your utility costs associated with winter heating, our technicians will assess your system and decide if an upgrade is the right choice. We provide options for determining the next system, such as a mini-split system, heat pump, or upgraded central air system. Our technicians make these recommendations based on the size and layout of your home and your personal preferences. We install your new furnace, ensuring all electrical, gas, and ductwork connections are secure.
6. Install a Heat Pump
Heat pumps use air from the ground to provide heating and cooling for your home. This natural resource helps lower the system’s energy demands for a decrease in utility costs. Heat pumps push hot air into your home, pushing the cold air out. The system does the opposite for summer cooling, providing comfort through every New Mexico season.
7. Install Heating Zones
Zoned heating utilizes multiple thermostats and dampers within the ductwork so that you can control different areas of your home separately. This means you can lower the temperature in rooms where heat is not as crucial and keep your energy costs down.
