In Southern California, while winters remain mild, summer temperatures can soar. Ensuring the optimal performance of your heating and cooling system is essential for maintaining the comfort of your luxury home.
Here are some tips:
- Regular Checkups: Schedule a licensed professional to inspect your units at least once a year, adhering to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
- Periodic Use: Even during off-seasons, activate your heating and cooling system occasionally. Prolonged inactive operation is not recommended.
- Filter Care: For maximum efficiency, replace or clean filters monthly (or have a licensed professional do it). Your manufacturer’s manual provides a step-by-step guide for DIY maintenance.
- Thermostat Settings: Ideally, set your thermostat to 72°F for heating and 78°F for cooling. Adjust according to personal comfort.
- Temperature Management: On hot days, draw your drapes and blinds to deflect heat. Conversely, on chilly yet sunny days, let the sunlight in for natural warmth.
Note:
Always use a certified technician for servicing or repairing your heating and cooling system. For comprehensive maintenance details, consult your manufacturer’s manual or check manufacturer’s website.
