Efficient HVAC systems make buildings safer and healthier. They use fresh air from external surroundings to regulate the temperature and humidity accordingly. Different kinds of HVAC systems use different kinds of components such as thermostats, heating units, etc for air conditioning.
Well, if you use them properly with proper and regular maintenance then you can enjoy their long-lasting effects from the comfort of your home and if not then…. you can expect some difficulties that might cost you in terms of money, time and most importantly- your wellbeing.
Here are some of the precautions that can be made:
-
IGNORING WEIRD NOISES:
If you have heard any strange sound coming from your HVAC system then don’t waste your time or refrain yourself from calling a professional. The strange noise can be coming from anything- be it a high compressor pressure, thermostat problem, leaky refrigerant , loose motor part, compressor problem or even dirt accumulated in your vents. Many times people ignore this sound but this ignorance is clearly not a bliss as they can cause several skin and lung diseases, nausea and headache.
-
NEGLECTING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:
As we all know that there are different parts and components in HVAC systems, we need to make sure that all of them work properly in coordination with each other. It is very important to ensure that they get time- to- time maintenance check ups. Even a minor issue has to be repaired ,if you want to have a comfortable life. Added to that, routine maintenance reduces the energy usage and increases the lifespan of the parts.
-
CHOOSING A WRONG SIZE FOR THE HVAC SYSTEM:
Another mistake is failing to decipher the correct size of your HVAC unit’s dimensions and measurements. Getting the wrong size can bring in a lot of problems in your life. Never fall for the trap that a larger HVAC system is better at performance. Most of the time, it doesn’t happen especially if your HVAC system is larger than your air conditioner or heating system. Rather people should pay attention to what suits their place and ensure that the dimensions are appropriate. The correct size of your HVAC system determines the right output for your heating and cooling systems. With an accurate reading of the airflow required at your home, your HVAC installers can recommend specific units which also helps in choosing the right model.
-
USING THE HVAC SYSTEM TOO FREQUENTLY:
The HVAC system also requires some rest and downtime, when required. Using the HVAC system continuously for hours and days is a waste of energy. It can damage the system, if you use it for longer periods of time. Avoiding the use of your air conditioner and heater frequently also cuts down on your electricity usage .Thus saving up on your money .
-
BUYING THE CHEAPEST HVAC SYSTEM:
One of the major mistakes that you can make is with buying a cheaper HVAC system. One needs to plan out their budget, know the possible pinch points before buying one. It is also advised to compare different companies and their features before buying it. While a cheaper HVAC system might sound cool and tempting but it rarely ends up giving a good environment (that we want). In some cases you might even have to compromise on the air quality.
The problem with cheap HVAC systems is that they use poor quality components. They are made up of poor quality material that is easily available in the market and at a cheaper rate. So this all leads to poor quality of air in your home. We all want an HVAC system that is long lasting and not something that breaks down often also read boat bill of sale.
-
CLEANING YOUR HVAC SYSTEM ON YOUR OWN:
Many times we don’t find it necessary to call a professional to clean up our HVAC system and use whatever cleaning aid that comes in our hands. These cleaning substances often have strong, chemical abrasives that have the power to damage our HVAC system. In such cases, one should avoid using them without prior knowledge and rather go for warm water and a cloth to wash them. But it is better to seek the assistance of a professional.
If you’ve made any of these ‘mistakes’ then don’t worry. Some mistakes can be corrected in due time. Call for a professional to guide you before it’s too late.
