Tips From Professionals on How To Keep a Comfortable Temperature in the Home

It can be tough to feel comfortable during a scary movie. Everyone is constantly on the edge of their seats, waiting for someone or something to pop out from behind the corner. 

It’s not always an emotionally comfortable experience. However, it should be physically comfortable with the right temperature and air quality in the home. Here are a few tips from HVAC professionals on how to stay comfortable during those beloved scary movie marathons.

Check and Adjust the Thermostat

The first thing homeowners should check is the thermostat. Isn’t it true that the smallest changes make the biggest difference? Adjusting the thermostat up or down by just a few degrees can make a world of difference. Also, homeowners should make sure that the thermostat is functioning properly, as it can often be the cause of a malfunctioning HVAC system.

When considering the mood of scary movie marathons, it’s often best to have the house a bit cooler than normal. Holding onto blankets and pillows is often an act of comfort, but can cause people to become too warm. Cooler room temperatures will allow everyone to feel comfortable, even while holding onto something soft for security.

Regularly Replace Air Filters

Air quality is a major component of comfort in a home. Being able to breathe easily without excess dust and other particles floating through the air is a critical part of good air quality. That’s why it’s so important to replace air filters regularly. These air filters can help trap dust, dirt, and other particles, preventing them from traveling through the home. However, after a few months, the air filters become so full of particles that they can’t trap any more. 

The lifespan of a filter often depends on its thickness. A 1-inch or 2-inch filter needs replacement about every 3 months, a 4-inch filter should be changed every 6 months, and a 5-inch filter should be changed once a year. Homeowners can always look at the instructions label on the air filter to see the filter’s recommended lifespan. 

Schedule HVAC Maintenance Checks

Homeowners are great at managing to-do lists. But sometimes it can be a lot to remember and to keep up on their own. Yard work, cleaning, home maintenance, it all starts to pile up, and it’s easy to understand why.

When running HVAC maintenance checks independently, it’s hard for homeowners to know what to look for and spot small problems before they turn into bigger ones. This is why it is so helpful to schedule HVAC maintenance checks with a professional. They’ll know what to look for and can keep homeowners informed of any existing or potential problems.
