Keeping Your Home Comfortable with Joplin’s Air Conditioning & Heating

At Joplin’s Air Conditioning & Heating, we understand the importance of a well-functioning HVAC system. Whether you’re dealing with scorching summers or chilly winters, your home’s comfort depends on proper maintenance and care. Here are five essential tips to help you keep your HVAC system running smoothly throughout the year:

1. Regular Filter Changes

One of the simplest yet most crucial tasks in HVAC maintenance is changing your air filters regularly. Clean filters ensure better air quality and improve your system’s efficiency. We recommend checking your filters monthly and replacing them every 1-3 months, depending on usage and indoor air quality factors.

2. Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clean

Your outdoor AC unit needs attention too. Regularly remove debris, leaves, and dirt from around the unit to maintain proper airflow. Trim any nearby vegetation to prevent obstruction and ensure at least two feet of clearance around the unit.

3. Schedule Professional Maintenance

While DIY maintenance is important, nothing beats the expertise of a professional HVAC technician. Schedule bi-annual maintenance checks with Joplin’s Air Conditioning & Heating to catch potential issues early and keep your system running at peak performance.

4. Optimize Your Thermostat Settings

Proper thermostat use can significantly impact your energy bills and system longevity. Consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat to automate temperature adjustments based on your schedule and preferences.

5. Don’t Ignore Strange Noises or Smells

If you notice unusual sounds or odors coming from your HVAC system, don’t ignore them. These could be signs of underlying issues that, if left unchecked, might lead to costly repairs or even system failure.

Additional Tips for HVAC Efficiency:

• Seal air leaks around windows and doors to prevent energy waste
• Use ceiling fans to improve air circulation and reduce AC workload
• Keep vents and registers clear of furniture and obstructions
• Consider adding insulation to your attic to improve temperature regulation

By following these tips and partnering with Joplin’s Air Conditioning & Heating for professional service, you can ensure your home stays comfortable year-round while maximizing energy efficiency. Remember, a well-maintained HVAC system not only provides better comfort but also saves you money in the long run through reduced energy consumption and fewer repairs.
