A Perfect HVAC System
What does a perfect HVAC system look like? What is its role in the home?
While some people simply get an HVAC system for their home and put it to work, there is so much more to do, which is to take care of that HVAC system. In fact, homeowners who really want their systems to last much longer invest in taking care of them to make them work, and not just for now, but for the future as well.
Home insulation and a healthy HVAC system work hand in hand. But one without the help of the other can only affect homeowners with large energy losses and a decline in home comfort. In order for homeowners to enjoy all the benefits of heating and cooling, insulation and maintenance are crucial.
The Perfect HVAC System Is One That Is Clean And Well Maintained
A strong HVAC system is one that is clean and well-maintained. In return, homeowners receive clean, healthy air from a strong HVAC system.
What exactly is maintenance and why is it widely recommended? Maintenance is professional care provided by a certified HVAC contractor. He or she evaluates the entire HVAC system from start to finish. They clean every part of it, test it, and restore it to ensure safe, proper, and healthy service.
Why is cleaning an important part of HVAC system maintenance? Because air is constantly flowing in and out of the system, there are all kinds of foreign things inside it. Often, these particles build up inside and grow. As a result, the HVAC system works with buildup which causes the service to slow down, using more energy and driving this buildup home. Intensive cleaning helps the HVAC system last longer, work better and use less energy. As a result, 90 percent of permanent damage and costly repairs are prevented.
With maintenance, homeowners rely on the HVAC system:
- Will work efficiently and safely
- Provide healthy indoor air
- Cost less work to heat and cool the home
- Last much longer
While some homeowners shy away from HVAC maintenance, homeowners with clean, efficient systems don’t.
They prevent problems that may include:
- Odorous or gritty air
- Energy loss and excess costs
- Coolant leaks
- Broken wires and burned motors
- Irregular HVAC system performance
In short, there can be no problems for homeowners who have maintenance because they are building the perfect HVAC system in the perfect home. As a result, these types of homeowners will spend less on their systems overall and enjoy a high lifestyle.
The Perfect HVAC System Works In A Fully Insulated Home
Fully insulating the home reduces heat loss and in turn, reduces energy costs as well. While these tasks may seem daunting, they are actually worth the effort.
To begin the insulation process, first, work in the attic area where the greatest amount of heat loss tends to occur. The attic area is home to extreme temperature swings. If there are leaks in the air ducts, attic air is sure to enter and flow around the house. Not only undoing the air conditioning or heating process but also polluting the air.
While in the attic, place insulation in the air ducts. This layer of insulation directly surrounds the ducts. Air duct insulation protects heating and cooling air from escaping through the “skin” of the ducts. With the attic temperature as it is, heat transfer adds up to significant changes.
Next, work on the floors, windows, and walls. Be sure to seal all cracks around windows and doors with mastic or weather stripping.
How Does The HVAC System Affect The Home?
Did you know that the air in our home is dirtier than the air outside? The health of our indoor air depends on many factors, including heating, ventilation, home health, and HVAC system health.
The condition of your HVAC system greatly influences the health of your home. This means it can either help or hurt your home and your lifestyle goals. By learning the right way how the HVAC system can affect your home, homeowners can use their HVAC system to improve home life.
