Summer means days by the pool, barbecues in the backyard, and sitting out on the deck, soaking up the warm, sticky rays of the sun. As much as we love the summer days, nothing quenches the heat quite like the cool of your home’s AC. At Kasper Mechanical, we work all summer long to ensure that your home is a cool and comfortable oasis to drive into after a long day outside. This summer’s going to be a hot one, so get ahead of the heat and snag our HVAC deals that can’t be beat. No one knows your Northern Virginia home’s HVAC needs like your local technicians at Kasper Mechanical.
Get prepared for the long summer days by getting up-to-date on all your HVAC’s needs with Kasper Mechanical. Here’s a few of our best kept secrets for keeping a healthy AC unit:
YOUR UNIT WORKS SMARTER, NOT HARDER
As the heat increases, it’s no surprise that your energy bill might too. If you want to spare your HVAC system a little overtime, the best strategy is to keep your unit working smarter, not harder. Find a temperature that’s comfortable for you and your family to keep the AC set to all season long. When you don’t fluctuate the temperature between seasons, your unit doesn’t have to work as hard to cool down or heat up, meaning you save work for your HVAC—and save yourself some money too!
Another way you can conserve energy is to turn the fan settings on your AC unit to “Auto.” In the summer especially, you might be tempted to crank up the blades and use up all your AC’s man-power to cool your house down. When you press “On,” the blades on the blower motor will run constantly—rather than as needed—and will wear down your AC unit faster. Bite the urge to turn on your fan and save yourself a break in the future.
SCHEDULE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
If you don’t want any surprise issues, make sure to give us a call for some routine maintenance. It’s like going to the doctor. When you invest in the health of your HVAC by scheduling seasonal check-ups, you’re more likely to catch a problem before it gets terminal. Schedule a maintenance appointment with our Customer Care Club so that when the heat wears you out, you can be confident that your HVAC is strong enough to carry you through the season.
STIMULATE AIR FLOW
When you have good airflow, you know that your HVAC system can carry the cool air to every room of your home. Poor airflow can be caused by dirty air filters, closed vents, or blocked ducts, all of which can be easily avoided with proper care. It’s recommended that you change your air filter every 60 days to decrease dust and dander, which can block the air from moving out of the vents. Similarly, clogged ducts—caused by dirt and debris—prevent the air from moving efficiently throughout the house. Call us to schedule a duct cleaning so that you’re always getting enough airflow to cool your house.
