These measures can help lower utility bills and reduce environmental impact.
The recommended indoor humidity level for optimal comfort and health is typically between 30% and 50%. High humidity can promote mold growth and discomfort, while low humidity can lead to dry skin, respiratory issues, and static electricity. Using a humidifier or dehumidifier can help maintain the ideal humidity level.
It's advisable to schedule maintenance for your HVAC system at least once a year, ideally before the start of the heating or cooling season. Regular maintenance helps ensure that your system operates efficiently, extends its lifespan, and prevents costly breakdowns.
Upgrading to a programmable thermostat offers benefits such as energy savings, increased comfort, and convenience. Programmable thermostats allow you to set different temperature settings for various times of the day, reducing energy usage when heating or cooling is unnecessary, such as when you're away from home or asleep.
The lifespan of an HVAC system typically ranges from 10 to 20 years, depending on factors such as system maintenance, usage patterns, climate, and the quality of installation. Regular maintenance, proper installation, and timely repairs can help extend the lifespan of your HVAC system.
