Summer is here — how to make sure your HVAC system is ready
Summers are hitting peak temperatures — and local heat waves are growing longer, stronger and more frequent, according to new data from the EPA.
Here's the deal: Heat waves are extended periods (two or more days) of unusually high temperatures compared to historic norms. High-pressure patterns can trap hot air closer to the ground, a phenomenon worsened by climate change.
Homeowners across the city are gearing up for the last months of this hot summer.
While many focus on deep-cleaning their rooms and closets, it's also essential to tend to one of the most critical components of a home: the HVAC system.
What you need to know: Properly maintaining your HVAC can help keep your home cool and comfortable this summer.
It can also help prevent costly breakdowns and repairs.
Here's how to help ensure your HVAC system is ready for heat waves this summer.
First things first: For seasonal maintenance, contact your local Trane Comfort Specialist. Trane is a leading global manufacturer of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. 🛠️
Regular professional tune-ups can enhance an HVAC system's efficiency and lifespan.
A Trane professional will handle any needed coil maintenance for your unit, as well as check and refill its refrigerant levels and clean its blower mechanism.
Trane's Repair or Replace Guide can help you figure out if now is the time to upgrade to a newer, more energy-efficient system.
Next steps: Make sure to change your filters every 30-90 days to help ensure your system operates at peak efficiency. A clogged or dirty air filter restricts airflow, forcing the system to work harder.
Eliminate the hassle by ordering a high-performance Trane Filter by FilterTime™, delivered straight to your doorstep.
✅ Follow up with these easy at-home tips:
Seal any cracks or leaks in your doors and windows.
Keep dust and debris from building up on the unit itself.
Install a Trane Link UX360 smart thermostat to control your system virtually.
Connect your smart thermostat to Trane's Home App to track your system's energy use and adjust your home's temperature anywhere, anytime.
Here's what else: Caulking or adding weatherstripping to seal leaks around doors and windows can help prevent hot air from infiltrating your living spaces.
Pro tip: Ceiling and stand fans create a wind chill effect, making you feel cooler without actually lowering the room temperature.
⚠️ Heads up — if your HVAC unit isn't working or if you're experiencing any issues, it should only be inspected by a licensed professional.
Trane professionals are equipped with essential skills and training, both to minimize the mess of deep-cleaning your unit and to locate and fix potentially hazardous issues.
The takeaway: Preparing your HVAC for the warmer months will help ensure your home stays cool and comfortable, and Trane is here to help.
