subject: Scheduled Maintenance For Your Heating And Air Conditioning System? Or Can You Diy? [print this page] As the winter gets closer, it is time for your 2nd servicing for your cooling and heating system. Your local Northwards Kentucky heating and air conditioning company can get the job done for you. You almost certainly think 2 check-ups is one too many, particularly since your financial position it tight this year.
But your North Kentucky furnace fix supplier is not just making an attempt to take more of your cash. There's a good purpose for 2 annual visits. Remember that your heat pump serves 2 purposes : cooling and heating. In winter, the heat pump pumps the heat into your place, and in the summertime it pumps the heat out of the house.
The key to the reason for two visits is temperature. When the weather is hot, you can't test the heating action of the heat pump, and when it is cold, you can't test the cooling action. Therefore, your heating and cooling maintenance company will call you twice a year to make an appointment. You have put a lot of money into your system, so it is in the best interest of your budget to keep the system well-maintained. As Poor Richard said so long ago, "A stitch in time saves nine." That was good advice 200 years ago, and it is still good advice today. If you make small payments twice a year to get your heating and cooling system cleaned and tuned, you will be making small payments to ensure that your system lasts for as many years as it can-rather like a car with 300,000 miles on it.
Between upkeep visits, you can do your part to keep the system going well and cleanly. The most important thing you can do is to replace the filter each month. If you purchase filters by the carton from a reduction store, the price tag will be small. It's also feasible to find permanent filters that may be hosed off to get rid of the dust.
Speaking of dust, a secondary reason for changing the filter is to reduce the amount of dust in the air of your house. You want to eliminate as much dust as possible from your air for two reasons. First of all, the dust blown about by your furnace fan lands on your furniture. Dusting the furniture is one of those household duties that most people try to avoid, so if the dust is being trapped by the furnace filter, it's not being deposited on the armoire or the chiffarobe.
Second, dust in the air aggravates many people's indoor allergies. We all know the kinds of things that dust is made of, but we won't go into that here, because it is a rather distasteful topic. These motes flying through the air are not made of dirt from outdoors. It's made from creepy things that many people are allergic to. So, keeping the room dust-free with a good filter will, in the end, save you money that would have to be spent on allergy-relief medicine.
These are some of the explanations that you must work to maintain your cooling and heating system. Some of the work is for you, and other work is for the professionals.
