Spring HVAC Maintenance Tips For North Carolina Homes

For those lucky to call North Carolina home, we experience four great seasons, including normally glorious spring weather. Following winter weather events, North Carolinians eagerly await the arrival of spring.

As you prepare your home for spring projects, don’t forget that your HVAC system plays a critical role in providing you with important heating and cooling services. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, heating and cooling make up 51% of energy costs in the average U.S. household, so proper maintenance and service are important to help keep costs down.

Before you turn off your heating system for the season and switch to air conditioning, here are some tips to ensure your HVAC is prepared for the weather-whiplash temperatures characteristic of spring in North Carolina. We can go from mid-60s to mid-80s in a flash in NC, so staying on top of your HVAC maintenance will be key. 

Spring is an opportune time to ensure that your home’s HVAC system is fine-tuned and ready to help your home maintain long-term functionality. Bi-annual maintenance is essential for keeping the HVAC functioning smoothly and efficiently.

Programmable thermostats are an excellent spring investment that will allow you to continue saving your hard-earned energy dollars. Spring temperatures in North Carolina can vary, so using a programmable thermostat puts you in control of your comfort, convenience, and ease of use through smart technological features.

Air Purification Systems are a straightforward solution and a wise investment for North Carolina households. The Carolinas can be inundated with pollen and other allergens that love to visit, but with an air filtration system, you can safeguard your indoor air quality while eliminating hazardous allergy-producing particles that can cause allergy-related health problems.

Consider an upgrade from your current HVAC unit. Older models are less efficient, require more maintenance and service, and do not offer the same energy-star ratings and savings that today’s state-of-the-art units provide.
