February is a perfect time to show some love to your HVAC system. After all, your home's heating and cooling system do a lot of work to keep your living spaces comfortable throughout the year. Fortunately, there are simple and effective ways to extend the love to your HVAC system that also benefits you and anyone else in your home. We offer tips below.

Show Some Love to Your HVAC System This February

Change Your Filters

Your HVAC system will absolutely love having a nice new filter. You'll also benefit from having a heating and cooling system that doesn't have to work so hard to keep your home comfy. Regular filter changes every three months to reduce breakdowns and keep your utility bills in check.

Keep Your Vents Clear and Cover Your Windows

Show some love to your HVAC system by ensuring vents and registers aren't blocked. This is also something that helps boost system efficiency. You'll also be rewarded with more even heating and cooling throughout your home. With your windows, keep blinds or curtains drawn when it's really cold or hot outside to minimize heat transfer.

Take Care of Draft Issues

Air leaks can also contribute to breakdowns and other issues by making your HVAC system work harder to compensate. In addition to making sure all your windows are shut this February when it's cold out, minimize draft issues by:

Replacing old or damaged weather-stripping.
Sealing air leaks around doors and windows.
Watching how often you open and close exterior doors.
Update Your Home's Insulation

Insufficient or missing insulation can also contribute to heat loss and make your HVAC system work harder to keep your home cozy. Pay extra attention to insulation in your attic and basement since these are two areas often overlooked. If your home is older, be especially mindful of insulation that may need to be replaced or upgraded to provide better air transfer protection.

Schedule an Inspection

Another way to show some love to your HVAC system this February is to contact Master Mechanical about an inspection. A routine heating and cooling system inspection is a cost-effective way to identify any problems that can be quickly and affordably corrected. An HVAC inspection typically involves:

Checking the filter.
Looking at internal parts.
Checking thermostat performance and settings.
Determining if any parts or connections need to be adjusted or replaced.
Consider an HVAC Upgrade

While commitment is always an admirable goal, exploring other options is sometimes better. In this case, we're talking about an HVAC system replacement or upgrade. If your current heating and cooling system needs increasingly frequent repairs, this is a step worth taking. Replacing an older HVAC system is also an investment that can pay off by improving efficiency and performance.

Proof We’re the Best HVAC Company Straight From Our Customers

Didn’t Push a Furnace Replacement

Taylor D.

Tom, the owner was awesome. He came out immediately when our furnace went out and completed a challenging fix. When I asked if I should replace the furnace he said no. Honest and did outstanding work. Furnace is quieter and seems to be running better than when we moved in!
Highly Recommended for AC Replacement

Jeremiah D.

Tom came over and thoroughly discussed my options. We discussed at length the pros and cons of the most expensive and least expensive options, and came up with a fair price for the products I chose. The crew showed up on time and finished the same day, and was easy to deal with. The new furnace heats my house so much better than the old one. I would definitely use Master Mechanical again. And I have. I’ve now replaced multiple furnaces and AC units using Tom and his crew at Master Mechanical, and would use them again.
Quick AC Fix During a Power Surge

Jim P.

Master Mechanical responded quickly when our AC failed following a power surge. They quickly diagnosed the problem, and responded patiently to my uninformed consumer questions. Once the team arrived to complete the repair work, they were professional and again, knowledgeable. Prices were fair, and they followed up with me after work was completed. Overall a great company!

Master Mechanical is an amazing company! I called last minute (per my friend's recommendation) since my ac broke yesterday. Victor was friendly, fast and explained everything and he ended up fixing my issue---thank you! Highly recommend Services A/C system repair.
Two Great HVAC Experiences

Bill L.

Did an excellent job on two repairs. The first was an emergency call for a furnace repair when it was 4 degrees F outside. They showed up on time, diagnosed the problem, went for parts, repaired the furnace all in about an hours time. The second repair was for the whole house humidifier attached to the furnace. It was a minor issue and corrected in less than 40 minutes. Everything is working great. My experience with their work is excellent.
