As a first-time homebuyer, you’re starting to get settled in your new home. There an abundance of items on your to-do list, from purchasing furniture to tackling the landscape.
Owning your first house is exciting! Don’t let that excitement sidetrack you from learning how different components in your home works—including your HVAC system. If you are moving into your new home during the hotter months, you’ll want to pay even more attention to your air conditioner. This will help be sure you keep comfortable in your new home through the warmer temps.
So, what do you need to know?
- Identify Your System—Make sure you know the make and model of your system. This should be indicated on the equipment itself. It will be helpful if you need to get in touch with a professional for repair, routine maintenance or general questions.
- Get to Know the Thermostat—When it comes to keeping indoor comfort and managing energy costs, your thermostat can be one of your best friends. Take the time to review your thermostat to understand where you can gain efficiencies—such as programmable thermostats that allow you to adjust the temperature even if you aren’t at home.
- Find a Reputable HVAC Company—Regular maintenance is key to making sure your air conditioner continues to operate properly and identify any issues before they become costlier to fix. MPC Heating & Cooling in Chadron can give you the service that you need, and share some tips on efficiency and how to increase indoor air quality and home comfort.
- Don’t Forget Your Filter—Outside of routine maintenance, one of the best ways to keep your air conditioner working efficiently is to exchange the air filter. Air filters are commonly located in the blower compartment of your furnace, in an attached filter case or in a wall-mounted return air grille.
