Set your thermostat a few degrees higher than what you usually would keep during the summer and lower in the winter. This way, you won&#8217;t have to come home to frozen pipes or mold\/mildew from too much moisture. You will also be reducing your energy use and bill.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check air filters<\/strong>: Replacing dirty air filters is an easy DIY task that you can do to prepare your HVAC system before you leave. We recommended this before leaving on your vacation as letting dirt build-up in filters can restrict airflow, making your AC work harder, and even causing it to shut down while you are away. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Schedule an HVAC maintenance appointment<\/strong>: Performing preventive maintenance on your HVAC system, especially before leaving for vacation, takes care of any issues that may cause damage or shutdown while you are away. Having your HVAC checked out by our technician will spare you any shock after your trip. It will also keep your heating and cooling systems running at peak efficiency. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Close the windows and blinds<\/strong>: Another tip on how to maintain your HVAC system is to close your windows and blinds. Keeping them open will let the sunlight in, increase room temperature, and strain your AC. Worried that closing your blinds and curtains will attract burglars? Look at this way: if burglars can&#8217;t be sure your home has valuables, they won&#8217;t rob you. Closing your blinds will prevent this information from being revealed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Install a surge protector<\/strong>: Power surges can damage your electronic appliances, including HVAC units. They are caused by lightning strikes, electrical grid problems, or downed power lines. Power surges can overload your HVAC capacitor and damage the circuit board or short out the compressor, affecting the cycling rate. So, if you are looking to know how to maintain your HVAC system while you are vacationing, you should add surge protection to the list.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Install a smart thermostat<\/strong>: With a smart thermostat, you can adjust the temperature in your home on your smart phone from wherever you are. You can keep tabs on your home&#8217;s energy usage and set the temperature higher or lower depending on weather conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Galmiche_Sons_to_Schedule_your_HVAC_Maintenance_Appointment_Before_Its_Too_Late\"><\/span>Contact Galmiche &amp; Sons to Schedule your HVAC Maintenance Appointment Before It&rsquo;s Too Late<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As St. Louis&rsquo; leading HVAC maintenance contractors, we are a one stop shop for all of your HVAC needs.
