HVAC Tips for Arizona Snowbirds

 Tips for Seasonal Homeowners

As you set sail to warmer or cooler temperatures, preserving the integrity of your home will be essential to your peace-of-mind while you are away. In this article, we review tips on keeping your HVAC system reliable and efficient all-year-long for your residence in Glendale, Phoenix, and all surrounding areas.

Initial Inspection

Before departing for a long-period of time, it's important that you inspect your HVAC system for signs of problems, like strange noises or smells. All issues should be addressed promptly to avoid safety concerns and larger problems later. To eliminate worry, contact your local HVAC company, like Apex Heating & Air, and let them inspect your system and provide you peace of mind while you are away.

Schedule HVAC Maintenance

Regular maintenance and cleaning can help you stay ahead of big problems before they become larger ones. Scheduling a maintenance call before you leave for the season with your local HVAC company, like Apex Heating & Air, will help you identify any problems and ensure your system is operating smoothly. 

Thermostat Adjustments

From smart thermostats to programmable ones, adjusting your home to a safe yet efficient temperature will save energy due to the reduction in workload on the system. Smart thermostats provide online access where you can monitor the weather in Arizona and make adjustments right from where you are.

Filter Replacement

Replacing the filter on your HVAC system every 30-days will help to eliminate clogs which lead to better energy-efficiency. By making it a habit to replace your air filter before you leave and after you return will help eliminate any problems that come from a dirty filter.

Ducts and Vents

For homes that are left unattended for long periods of time, dust and other debris can block proper airflow. Regular cleaning of your ducts and air vents will help maintain airflow without blockages. Sealing of your ductwork is equally important to eliminate energy waste.

Emergency Contacts

Whether you monitor your homes condition with the help of a neighbor or property cameras, it's important that you have someone regularly check on your homes condition to ensure it can be accessed incase of an emergency or if you should have problems while you are away. 

By inspecting your HVAC unit before you leave and scheduling with your local HVAC company, you can eliminate a lot of worry while you are away from home for long periods of time.
