HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. It’s important to have your HVAC systems serviced annually to ensure optimal efficiency. We recommend having your heat pump or furnace inspected at the end of summer or the beginning of fall. You should have your air conditioning inspected at the end of winter or the beginning of spring. The idea behind preventative HVAC maintenance is to spot issues before they become a costly breakdown in the middle of the season when you need them most.

Most manufacturer’s guidelines suggest replacing your HVAC air filters every one to three months. Dirty air filters reduce your indoor air quality and can affect your heating and cooling system’s performance.

Ensuring you have clean air inside your home can help you reduce allergy and asthma symptoms. Over time, dust, smoke, pet hair, and other allergens float around inside your home, clinging to your curtains, furniture, and floors. Identifying and removing these indoor air pollutants is essential for your family’s health. We offer professional duct cleaning services to reduce the number of pollutants found inside your HVAC system’s ducts. We can also install special air filters, air purification systems, and UV germicidal lights to help remove indoor air pollutants.

Most homeowners on a budget are always looking for ways to lower their monthly energy bills. Here are a few tips from the experts at Hoover Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Cooling:

• Switch to a programmable thermostat to regulate indoor temps
• Install ceiling fans to improve your indoor air circulation
• Close the curtains during the day to reduce your summer indoor temps
• Ensure your windows and doors are sealed with weatherstripping
• Unplug electrical appliances when not in use
• Ditch the incandescent light bulbs and switch to energy-efficient LEDs
• Schedule annual HVAC preventative maintenance services
• Request a home energy audit from a qualified professional

If appropriately designed, a zoning system can help you save hundreds in annual energy costs. HVAC zoning enables you to regulate your indoor temperatures for more consistent comfort. Your home will be divided into various zones, allowing you to control different rooms based on your heating and cooling needs. If certain rooms are used daily, you can ensure these areas receive more heating or cooling than other unoccupied areas of the house. Talk to us today about the benefits of installing dual-zone air conditioning or heating systems inside your Southeast Michigan home.

Most furnaces and air conditioners usually last 10-15 years, depending on the make and model and how often it requires maintenance or repair. If your unit is over 15 years old and needs frequent repairs, it could be time to replace it with a more modern, energy-efficient model. We offer specials and financing!
