As the seasons change, maintaining a comfortable indoor environment becomes a top priority. At 7th Generation Air Conditioning and Heating, we understand the importance of a well-functioning HVAC system for your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. While professional service is always recommended for major repairs or replacements, there are several DIY tips you can implement to keep your system running smoothly.
Change Your Air Filters Regularly
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain your HVAC system is to change the air filters regularly. Clogged filters can restrict airflow, causing the system to work harder and potentially leading to breakdowns. Aim to replace your filters every three months or as recommended by the manufacturer.
Clear Away Obstructions
Ensure that the outdoor unit of your HVAC system is free from debris, leaves, and other obstructions. These can block airflow and reduce the system’s efficiency. Regularly clear the area around the unit and trim back any vegetation that may be encroaching on the space.

Seal Air Leaks
Air leaks in your home can significantly impact the efficiency of your HVAC system. Seal gaps and cracks around windows, doors, and other openings with caulk or weatherstripping. This simple step can help your system operate more efficiently, saving you money on energy bills.
Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat
Investing in a smart thermostat can be a game-changer for your home’s energy efficiency and comfort. These programmable devices allow you to set customized temperature schedules, ensuring your HVAC system runs optimally when you need it and conserves energy when you’re away.
