5 Common HVAC Mistakes Homeowners Make

The HVAC system is one of the main components and features of residential properties because it’s responsible for maintaining a comfortable building temperature. Due to the system’s different components, it can be easy to misuse it. A few common HVAC mistakes homeowners make can affect how well it operates over time.

1. Failing to Clean the Air Filters

A lot of dirt and grime can build up in the HVAC filters, affecting the airflow and cause the parts to work harder than necessary to operate. Failing to clean the air filters can also cause a lot of dust and contaminants to circulate in the building as the appliance is in use. This step is also useful for boosting your energy efficiency in the building.

2. Installing the Wrong Size

Many homeowners don’t realize that their HVAC system is too small or large for their home, which can cause the unit to work harder than necessary to operate or use too much energy usage. Either way, installing the wrong size of an HVAC system can lead to increased energy use and can cost more in the long run.

3. Neglecting Routine Maintenance

Similar to any other product on the property, the HVAC system requires routine maintenance to avoid issues or excess wear that can occur. Failing to schedule routine maintenance with a local technician can mean issues are easy to miss, which can lead to more severe problems in the coming years.

4. Failing to Repair Leaks

Waiting too long to repair leaky ductwork can cause the cool or hot air to only distribute to certain areas of the home. Unfortunately, this can affect the building’s level of comfort and cause the unit to work harder than necessary to operate. All gaps and holes present should be repaired by a professional to reduce your energy usage and your electricity bill.

5. Performing Maintenance and Repairs Yourself

Many people attempt to perform maintenance or repairs on their home themselves to save money, but this can damage the appliance. It’s important to leave the work to a skilled and trained technician to ensure everything is completed correctly. A technician has a trained eye and can quickly perform the work to restore the operation of the appliance sooner. They also have the right tools and equipment, which can prevent damage from occurring. You’ll save more money with a professional’s help instead of fixing any damage that you may have caused.
