To make your holiday season truly magical, it’s important to prep your home’s HVAC system in advance. Here are some essential Thanksgiving HVAC tips and expert advice to help you get your home ready for the holidays.
Test the Thermostat
- Set your thermostat to your desired Thanksgiving temperature a few days in advance to make sure it’s responsive and accurate. This gives you time to adjust if necessary.
Inspect the Furnace and Heat Pump
- Look for any unusual noises, smells, or leaks. If you notice anything odd, it might be a good idea to schedule a quick professional inspection before the holiday.
Consider Adjusting the Thermostat for Guests
- Extra bodies and cooking activities can add warmth, so you might want to set the temperature a few degrees lower than usual before people arrive.
Manage Your Oven Use
- Cooking and baking during the holidays can significantly raise the temperature in your home. Plan your cooking schedule efficiently and use the exhaust fan to remove excess heat and moisture.
Decorate with Care
- While festive decorations are lovely, they can sometimes obstruct air vents or thermostats. Be mindful of where you place your decorations to avoid interfering with the HVAC system’s proper airflow.
Schedule Professional Maintenance if Needed
- If it’s been over 6 months since your last HVAC tune-up, consider calling in a pro like Action Air. We’ll inspect, clean, and fine-tune your system, which can save you from surprises on the holiday.
