With the cold weather upon us, this inspection will give you the tools to be sure your HVAC system is functioning at peak efficiency. You will also learn of any potential malfunctions with your current system before they become a greater issue, thus often avoiding major repairs or replacement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check for leaks and imperfections in your structure<\/strong> &#8211; Old and new homes alike are susceptible to drafts. An important part of your HVAC maintenance routine should be checking your doors, windows, and walls for any cracks or signs of damage that may let warm air out. Keeping warm air in will optimize your heating &amp; cooling system&rsquo;s performance and ensure there is less strain on your system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid blocking things up<\/strong> &#8211; If you want to increase the lifespan of your current system, you can take several simple steps to ensure your HVAC system operates efficiently. Make sure that no sofas or bookshelves are blocking vents as this can impede the effectiveness of your heating &amp; cooling system or become a safety hazard. Check your vents as well for any debris or dust that may have gathered in them during the fall months.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change your filters<\/strong> &#8211; Changing your air filters often means less strain on your unit to function correctly. Over long periods of time, this simple step in HVAC maintenance will not only increase the longevity of your unit, but also save you money on monthly heating costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use supplemental heating methods<\/strong> &#8211; There are many ways to stay warm this winter season. Stock your linen closet with lots of warm blankets. Heated quilts and space heaters are an excellent way to stay warm. While supplemental heating methods may not be considered traditional HVAC maintenance, it is a surefire way to prolong the life of your current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/quote-request.php\">HVAC system<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know your system<\/strong> &#8211; HVAC systems are not meant to last forever. They should be completely replaced approximately every 10-15 years. Sometimes the best step in HVAC maintenance you can take is to know when a replacement is necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Our_St_Louis_HVAC_Maintenance_Specialists\"><\/span>Contact Our St. Louis HVAC Maintenance Specialists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to HVAC maintenance, Galmiche &amp; Sons are the experts you have been looking for.
