Navigating the Seasons with Your HVAC System

As New England residents, we’re no strangers to the dramatic shifts in weather throughout the year. At Papalia Home Services, we understand the importance of keeping your home comfortable regardless of what Mother Nature throws our way. Let’s explore some seasonal HVAC tips to help you stay cozy and save energy all year round.

Spring: Prepare for the Heat

As winter thaws, it’s time to think about your cooling system:

  • Schedule AC maintenance to ensure efficient operation
  • Clean or replace air filters
  • Check and clean outdoor unit
  • Consider upgrading to a more energy-efficient model if your system is aging

Summer: Beat the Heat

When temperatures soar in Boxborough, MA, and surrounding areas, your AC becomes your best friend:

  • Set your thermostat to 78°F (26°C) for optimal efficiency
  • Use ceiling fans to improve air circulation
  • Keep blinds closed during the hottest parts of the day
  • Schedule AC repair promptly if you notice any issues

Fall: Transition to Heating

As leaves change color in Acton, MA, and Westford, MA, it’s time to prep your heating system:

  • Schedule a heating system tune-up
  • Check for drafts and seal any leaks
  • Clean your chimney if you have a fireplace
  • Consider a programmable thermostat for better control

Winter: Stay Warm and Cozy

When snow blankets Concord, MA, Sudbury, MA, and Lexington, MA, ensure your heating system is up to the task:

  • Keep your thermostat at 68°F (20°C) for energy efficiency

  • Schedule regular maintenance to prevent unexpected breakdowns
  • Consider upgrading to a high-efficiency heating system for long-term savings
