How to Operate and Maintain a Heat Pump

A heat pump system can be an excellent set up for your home. It can both heat and cool your home, which is essential during hot summers and cold winters. But to avoid frequent A/C repairs and rising energy costs, there are some basic steps you can take to maintain your heat pump over the long-term. Know How to Operate Your Unit Daily Learning to properly operate your heat pump will save energy (and money). Backup heating systems are more expensive to run, so avoid letting it kick in. This includes setting back the thermostat accordingly. Also, unless you use a high-efficiency, variable-speed fan motor, constantly running the indoor fan will degrade your heat pump’s performance. Always keep the thermostat on the “auto” fan setting. Clean Filters and Coils Dirty filters and coils can reduce airflow, which will decrease performance and damage the system’s compressor. Clean filters once a month, and replace them if necessary. Pay attention to any manufacturer’s instructions t...

How to Maintain Your Central Air Conditioning Unit

Central air is essential during hot summers, especially in tropical or southern locales like the Greater Tampa and Brandon Florida area. Most of us expect a unit to work when it is installed, and to keep working indefinitely, summer after scorching summer. But there is some everyday maintenance that is required.

Keep the grass at a short length near the unit. Clear any other debris that might accumulate. Keep all debris and vegetation at least two feet away from the unit. Clean Filters, Coils, Fins, and Drains Filters need to be cleaned or replaced regularly. Clogged or dirty filters can block airflow and impact your system’s efficiency. This could lead to dirt being carried to the evaporator coil, which will reduce the coil’s he...

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
