This time of year it may be cold in the morning, heat up during the day, cool at night. If you change your thermostat to keep up with changes be sure not to change it from heating to cooling or vice versa too quickly. This could blow fuses, trip breakers, etc. The best way is to turn to off wait approximately 10 minutes then turn to heat or cool. Having your system cleaned and checked will ensure maximum performance before heating season is upon us in full swing. If you have a furnace, dirty heat exchangers minimize heat transfer causing more use of fuel to heat your home. If you have a heat pump, a dirty indoor coil minimizes heat transfer causing the heat strips to run more using more electricity to heat your home. Our PTU thoroughly cleans and checks your system, catching possible problems before heating seasons is upon us. An auto changeover thermostat was made for spring and fall. It will change Precision Tune Up Tips One of the tasks involved in the precision tune up is clearing the drain lines. The drain lines run from your indoor unit to outside, they carry the water that accumulates when you have your system in air conditioning outside. When the drain lines become clogged with debris and quit draining the water backs up in the drain pan. This could cause water damage wether the indoor unit is located in the attic (damage to ceiling) or a closet (damage to floor coverings). There are devices that can be installed during a precision tune up that will turn off your system when a clog occurs. Having regular precision tune ups in conjuction with one of these devices will help to keep water damage from becoming a factor in the operation of your heating and air conditioning system
