You might not even realize that you have been doing one of them! We have put together a handy list of HVAC bad habits so our customers can adjust and improve the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/leaky-air-ducts-affect-hvac-system-efficiency\/\">efficiency of their residential heating and cooling system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some common HVAC bad habits and how to avoid them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Blocked Airflow <\/strong>&#8211; Oftentimes, a piece of furniture will mistakenly be placed in front of an air vent. This restricts air flow and causes your system to work harder. Look at all the air vents in your home and ensure they are not blocked.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not Changing Air Filters <\/strong>&#8211; Changing air filters is crucial to maintaining the health of your HVAC system. Many people forget to do this regularly, not realizing its importance. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/consequences-of-not-changing-hvac-air-filter\/\">Not changing your air filter<\/a> restricts airflow, impacting energy bills. Additionally, a dirty filter stops catching dirt and debris, reducing your in-home air quality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ignoring Regular Maintenance <\/strong>&#8211; Scheduling regular maintenance and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/hvac-cleaning-you-cant-afford-to-skip\/\">HVAC cleaning<\/a> appointments is a vital part of owning a HVAC system. Regular visits from a technician help to keep your system running in optimum condition. They also help to catch small issues before they become major ones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overusing Your Thermostat <\/strong>&#8211; It is important to understand how your thermostat works and avoid constantly adjusting it. Frequently turning your system on and off leads to increased wear and tear and energy consumption. Take the time to set your thermostat to your liking and then leave it as is.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Performing Self-Repairs <\/strong>&#8211; HVAC systems are complicated, and repairs need a fully qualified and licensed individual. While a do-it-yourself job can be appealing for cost savings, many homeowners often end up doing more damage to the system than good with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/avoid-diy-hvac-repair\/\">DIY HVAC repair<\/a>.
