We hope your family is staying pleasantly warm, and you\u2019re enjoying time with loved ones, friends, and neighbors. To ensure your family stays safe and comfortable throughout the holidays, here are some important HVAC tips from Bruce\u2019s Air Conditioning &amp; Heating.<\/p>\n<h2>Change Your Air Filter<\/h2>\n<p>One important task to check off on your home preparation list for the holidays is to change your air filter. By doing this you\u2019ll be helping to enhance your home\u2019s indoor air quality while enjoying additional savings on your utility bill. Air filtration helps reduce airborne particles containing viruses and reduces the chances of HVAC system failures related to a clogged filter. In other words, it\u2019s an easy way to keep your household safe, healthy, and happy.<\/p>\n<h2>Keep Vents and Unit Clear<\/h2>\n<p>Make sure your Christmas tree and decorations are not blocking any indoor vents. Decorations can impede airflow if they\u2019re in front of or near air vents. Position them at least three feet away from vents to keep warm air flowing all season long.<\/p>\n<p>For outdoor decorations, be certain to keep them away from your HVAC unit. The system requires at least three feet clearance to run properly. Blocked air flow may not only damage components but also compromise system performance resulting in increased energy bills in the new year.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t Cover Your Thermostat<\/h2>\n<p>Holiday decorations should not be covering your thermostat. When it\u2019s covered, the thermostat can\u2019t correctly gauge the temperature indoors. Your heating system won\u2019t deliver the proper temperature, leading to either a chilly home or an uncomfortably warm one. The last thing you want is an improperly functioning HVAC system over the holidays.<\/p>\n<h2>Our Gift to You<\/h2>\n<p>Our dedicated team of professionals will continue delivering top notch service and great value throughout the holidays and all year long.
