Avoid These HVAC Mistakes to Stay Warm All Winter

Winter is here, and a well-functioning HVAC system is essential to keep your home cozy and warm. However, common mistakes can lead to inefficiencies, costly repairs, and discomfort. Here’s what to avoid to ensure your HVAC system runs smoothly throughout the season:

1. Neglecting Regular Maintenance: Skipping routine maintenance, like changing filters and cleaning components, can lead to poor performance and increased energy costs.

2. Ignoring Strange Noises: Unusual sounds from your furnace or HVAC system could indicate a problem. Addressing them early can prevent expensive repairs.

3. Blocking Vents: Furniture or curtains blocking your vents restrict airflow, causing uneven heating and increased strain on your system.

4. Setting the Thermostat Too High: Cranking up the heat won’t warm your home faster; it only wastes energy. A steady, moderate setting is more efficient.

5. Using Old, Inefficient Systems: An outdated HVAC system struggles to maintain comfort. Upgrading to an energy-efficient model can save you money and improve performance.

6. Closing Off Unused Rooms: While it seems like a good idea, closing off rooms can create pressure imbalances, leading to inefficiency and system strain.

7. DIY Repairs: Attempting to fix HVAC issues yourself can cause more harm than good. Always trust professionals for repairs and servicing.

The A Plus Quality team is here to help you avoid these mistakes and keep your home warm and efficient all winter. Our experienced professionals provide expert advice, maintenance, and repairs to ensure your HVAC system operates at its best.

FAQ

  • How do I know what size unit I need?
    If you have any problems with your system, you should contact the contractor who installed the units. All our systems are covered by a 5 year parts, 7 year compressor limited warranty
     
  • Furnace is blowing cold air in Winter?

    This can be due to Ignition lockout, sometimes could be resolved by resetting the power  and if this does not resolve the issue you should contact a certified gas technician from A-Plus Quality to get this problem resolved!

  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.

  • What is a mini-split?

    By definition, and simply put, a “Split System” is a heating and air conditioning system which has two main components, the indoor unit and outdoor unit. In short, the indoor unit absorbs heat energy in the cooling mode, and the outdoor unit rejects the very heat absorbed by the indoor unit. And the cycle is repeated until the set temperature is met. Although the indoor and outdoor units are located in physically different, hence “split” locations, they are connected and operate as, one system; continuously circulating refrigerant liquid and vapor by means of interconnecting, dehydrated copper refrigerant lines, commonly referred to as a “Line Set”.

  • Why should I maintain my Furnace or AC?

    An annual maintenance will extend the lifetime of your heating and cooling unit. The technician will diagnose and repair any problem with the unit before it fails, so you won't need to worry about any problems when the weather gets very hot in the summer or extremely cold in the winter.
