CONCORD — Host, Sarah Rutan: When it comes to maintaining your heating and air conditioning system, it’s best to be proactive rather than reactive. Today we’re in Concord with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Brian Waskow of Hometown Heating &amp; Air Conditioning to learn more.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Brian Waskow: So one thing we should all do in life in general is to be proactive vs. reactive. One piece of advice I could give you as a technician in doing heating, air conditioning and ventilation for many, many years is to test your system out when you don’t need it. Prior to the summer, turn on your air conditioner, let it run, make sure the air is coming out cold in all the vents, make sure that you change your thermostat. Its better to find out in April that your system doesn’t work, than on July 1st when its 110 degrees.
Same advice could be said for your heater in the wintertime. Turn it on. Make sure that you run it, change the thermostat and make sure that the heat is coming out everywhere. One thing its also going to do is this funny smell of dust that gets on your heater during the summertime and its going to burn off, you are going to be able to open the windows and ventilate the smell out without it being freezing outside. Its much better to know that your heater is not going to work when you don’t need it then when you absolutely have to have it.
