How do you keep your Valentine cozy when in this crazy Missouri weather it’s HOT one minute…COLD the next? Your sweetheart isn’t the only one who needs tender loving care during this season, so does your HVAC system!
Your HVAC system may think you’re crazy running the heat all night, then the next morning, turning on the A/C.
Missouri is no stranger to fluctuating temperatures. Just a couple of weeks ago we went from -6 degrees to 70 in the matter of a couple of days. Then the crazy Missouri weather topped it off with tornadoes in January!
These highs and lows can make your head spin!
While it’s not “bad” on your system to run the heat and A/C in the same day, there are a couple of key things to remember to keep it running for the long haul.
First, ease into the new temp. Maybe adjust your preferred temperature gradually…the goal is to not overtax the system. Making too big of a jump in temp can lead to technical issues and be a big strain on your HVAC system.
Second, wait five minutes between switching from heat to air (or vice versa). Switching too quickly can fry your circuit board or blow a fuse.
Lastly, because Missouri will always have crazy weather, we can’t stress enough the importance of routine maintenance. Avoiding checkups to your HVAC system can greatly shorten the life of your system and even lead to serious dangers. Dust, dirt, and debris inside the unit can lead to house fires if left to build up. Worn out wiring and lack of insulation around wiring can also be dangerous.
Routine checkups can greatly increase the lifespan of your system while providing you with the security you need to know you and your loved ones are safe.
Whether you’ve lived in Missouri all your life, ten years, or just ten days, you will have noticed it can be coat weather in the morning and shorts weather in the afternoon. That’s not likely to change, so investing a little in routine maintenance will really give you peace of mind.
Which reminds us, we offer the Peace of Mind Service Plan.
The Peace of Mind plan is NOT an insurance policy or a warranty plan. It is a service membership exclusively offered by A&D Mechanical Services. Consider us your personal maintenance team!
For just a low monthly membership, repairs and maintenance on covered units will be made. Parts needed for repair are included in the plan and if there is a total failure of your covered equipment, we will replace the unit. NO OTHER PLAN DOES THAT!
We appreciate you as our customer and are wishing you a warm Valentine’s Day and hope you don’t have to flip from heat to A/C several times in one day!
