AC doesn’t Hibernate in Winters!

1. Switch Modes Smartly

Heat Pump or Furnace + AC?

• Heat Pumps: These multitaskers switch to heating mode in winter. Double-check the settings to avoid unnecessary strain.
• Furnace + AC Combo: Ensure your furnace is doing the heavy lifting while the AC takes a breather. Tune-ups are key to keeping both systems ready.

?? Pro Tip: Before transitioning seasons, schedule a quick system check-up. Your HVAC will thank you later!

2. Maintenance Matters (Even in Winter!)

Out of sight doesn’t mean out of mind! Keep your AC in shape even when it’s off-duty:

• Filters: Clean or replace filters every 1–3 months to maintain airflow and efficiency.
• Coils: Dusty coils reduce cooling performance later. A quick clean now saves hassle later.
• Leak Checks: Inspect for refrigerant leaks or damage from inactivity.

?? Pro Tip: Book a pre-spring maintenance service to ensure a seamless switch back to cooling!

3. Optimize Your Thermostat

Constantly tweaking temperatures? That’s a no-go!

• Consistent Settings: Stick to stable temperatures (20–25°C during the day) to avoid overworking your system.
• Programmable Thermostats: Automate temperature changes for nights and work hours to save energy.

?? Pro Tip: Set your thermostat to "heat" for winter and enjoy a cozy, efficient home!

4. Humidity Matters

Winter air is dry—making your home less comfortable. Your HVAC system can help:

• Use a built-in humidifier or a standalone one to maintain 30%-50% humidity.
• Add an air purifier to filter allergens and dust for fresher air.

??? Pro Tip: Check humidifier filters and clean them regularly for optimal performance.

5. Keep It Energy Efficient

Heating can hike up those bills, but a few tweaks can help:

• Schedule regular HVAC maintenance.
• Insulate your home to retain warmth.
• Use your system smartly to balance comfort and costs.

?? Pro Tip: An efficient system saves energy and keeps you warm without breaking the bank.
