FAQs
How often should I replace my HVAC filters?
It's recommended to replace standard HVAC filters every 30-90 days. However, this can vary based on factors like the type of filter, air quality, presence of pets, and usage. High-efficiency filters may last longer, up to 6 months. Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines for the best schedule.
What is the ideal indoor humidity level?
The ideal indoor humidity level ranges from 30% to 50%. Maintaining this range helps to prevent mold growth, reduce allergens, and create a comfortable living environment. In winter, try to keep it above 30% to avoid dry skin and respiratory issues.
How can I improve the air quality in my home?
Improving air quality in your home can be achieved by regularly changing HVAC filters, using air purifiers, ensuring proper ventilation, maintaining a clean environment, and controlling humidity levels. Additionally, avoid using products that emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and consider houseplants that help purify the air.
Why is my HVAC system making strange noises?
Strange noises from your HVAC system can indicate various issues, such as loose components, debris in the unit, motor problems, or issues with belts and ducts. It's important to have any unusual noises inspected by a professional to prevent damage and ensure efficient operation.
How often should I schedule HVAC maintenance?
It's advisable to schedule professional HVAC maintenance at least twice a year: once before the winter season and once before the summer season. Regular maintenance helps in identifying potential problems early, ensuring efficient operation, and extending the lifespan of your system.
What can I do to improve ventilation in my home?
To improve ventilation in your home, utilize exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms, open windows when possible, use whole-house fans, and consider installing a mechanical ventilation system. Additionally, keep vents clean and unblocked to ensure proper airflow throughout your home.
