It\u2019s Halloween season in Arizona, and you\u2019ve been busy as a goblin preparing for the fun-filled evening. Between carving pumpkins, setting out black cat, ghost, and skeleton decorations, and hanging cobwebs on shrubs, trees, doors, and windows, you\u2019re ready to pass out candy to all the neighborhood families and pets dressed up for Halloween. In other words, you don\u2019t need any unplanned HVAC problems.<\/p>\n
The HVAC air filter traps airborne like dust, dander, dirt, and other debris and keeps it from blocking the blower and clogging up the coils. Clogged coils can\u2019t cool or heat air passing over them, meaning damage can occur to your system. Change out the air filter to help the HVAC run more efficiently and enjoy a longer lifespan to celebrate future Halloween holidays.<\/p>\n
Halloween day and night can mean temperature fluctuations both indoors and outside. You\u2019ll want to keep your HVAC system happy by reviewing the thermostat settings. Having a smart or programmable thermostat will make this task even easier as it can accommodate spikes and drops in temperature. If it\u2019s going to be warm, you\u2019ll want to set the thermostat a few degrees higher so that air-conditioned air isn\u2019t blowing outside every time the door is opened for trick-or-treaters.<\/p>\n
Hanging decorations outside is a long-standing Halloween tradition. But you\u2019ll want to keep any decorations far away from the HVAC unit outdoors. Adornments on any HVAC components can result in blocked airflow or even compressor damage. You\u2019ll need help from your local professionals to rectify these problems which can be costly.<\/p>\n
It may seem like a good idea to decorate air vents with Halloween themed items. Decorations or home furnishings shouldn\u2019t be blocking or covering any air vents indoors. This can lead to improper air circulation or even blocked airflow.<\/p>\n
Flammable items should be kept far away from any HVAC components. Wax candles used for Halloween decorations are highly flammable. You may want to look into safer alternatives like battery-powered candles, small flashlights, or solar candles.<\/p>\n
