- • Is your air conditioner running? Go catch it! JK. Seriously though, if your HVAC system rarely shuts off and it is not a million degrees outside, you could have a refrigerant or thermostat problem; or your HVAC system may be too small for your home or business.
- Conversely, if your HVAC system is too large for your home or business, it could short-cycle, which can also waste energy and could result in its premature demise.
- Weird noises or smells may also be indicators of HVAC operational or component issues which waste energy and, worse yet, could cause your HVAC system to fail.
- Different temperatures in different rooms may be a sign that your HVAC system just isn’t big enough to support your entire home or business; or you may have leaky or blocked air ducts…any of which lead to wasted energy and higher utility bills.
- Speaking of high utility bills…if you find your energy costs increasing without seasonal or habitual changes that would warrant it, that is a very likely sign that your HVAC system is not operating optimally and that you are, once again, wasting energy.
If you are experiencing any of the above, you have an older system that could use a once-over and the keen eye of an HVAC professional or if you simply would like to schedule regular, convenience HVAC maintenance checks to ensure adequate upkeep and prevent any unwelcome breakdowns and the costs associated with them, Anderson Performance Heat and Air can help.
