HVAC Maintenance
- Change air filters regularly: Dirty air filters reduce airflow and strain your HVAC system, leading to higher energy bills and potential breakdowns. Check and replace them every 1-3 months.
- Clean outdoor unit: Remove any debris, leaves, or dirt from around the outdoor unit to ensure proper airflow and efficient operation.
- Check for leaks: Inspect visible ductwork for any leaks or disconnections, which can cause energy loss and inefficiency.
Plumbing Tips
- Unclog drains: Use a plunger or baking soda and vinegar mixture to clear minor clogs before resorting to chemical drain cleaners.
- Fix leaky faucets: Replace worn washers or cartridges to stop dripping faucets, which can waste thousands of gallons of water annually.
- Insulate pipes: Wrap exposed pipes with insulation to prevent freezing in winter and reduce energy loss from hot water pipes.
