At Papalia Home Services, we understand the importance of maintaining an optimal home environment. Proper temperature control with efficient heating and cooling systems is key to achieving this. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you keep your home comfortable and energy efficient.

Invest in Routine System Maintenance

First and foremost, ensure your heating and cooling units are inspected and serviced regularly by professional technicians. Regular maintenance increases the efficiency and lifespan of the units, allows for early detection and remedy of problems, and reduces the likelihood of emergency breakdowns. Typical maintenance includes cleaning, part inspections, adjustments, and repair or replacement of defective parts. Remember, prevention is always better than cure.

Upgrade to High-Efficiency Units

If your heating and cooling systems are outdated, they’re likely consuming more energy than necessary. Newer, high-efficiency units operate at lower costs and are environmentally friendly. Plus, you’ll enjoy greater comfort and better air quality. Weigh the cost of an upgrade against the potential savings on utility bills, then decide if a new heating or cooling unit is right for you.

Optimize Your Thermostat Settings

The ideal temperature setting varies from person to person, but a commonly recommended setting for summer is 78°F when you’re home and around 83°F when you’re away. During winter, try 68°F when you’re home and lower when you’re out. These settings promote energy efficiency without sacrificing comfort.

Remember, if you have trouble with any aspect of your heating or cooling services, the experts at Papalia Home Services are always ready to provide assistance. Our commitment is to keep your living space comfortable all year round with exceptional service and affordable prices.
