It’s almost time to book a vacation! While you are planning for a well-deserved getaway, you will want to take some time to ensure your HVAC system will be properly safe and efficient when you are away. There are many things you can do such as setting your thermostat, checking the exterior of the unit, changing the air filter and more! Here is a tip guide on what to do with your HVAC system before going on vacation.
Most people will want to completely turn their HVAC system off when they leave, however this can end up doing more harm than good. When the system is shut off for a long period of time, it can allow a buildup of mold or moisture which can ultimately harm your system. Not only that, but when you return home, your system will have to work extra hard to get your home back to normal temperatures.
The best thing to do is to set your thermostat a few degrees higher than you normally set it at. This will allow the system to still regulate the temperature within the home and cut back on energy costs.
For the best results, it is best to know that your thermostat is accurate and performing correctly. You may want to consider upgrading to a smart thermostat. The Chill Brothers are offering ANY smart thermostat installation for only $199! View the website or call The Chill Brothers for more details.
It is normal maintenance to change your air filter regularly, but it is important to make sure the filter is clean before your vacation. There are many harmful effects of having a clogged air filter, but when no one is home, it can be damaging to your HVAC system and indoor air quality. Before you leave for vacation, you will want to change your air filters to prevent coming home to a dust filled home.

When you are on vacation for a long or short period of time, you will want to check for any debris on the outside unit. This includes tree branches, leaves, or grass clippings that may be on the unit. Removing the debris will help protect the unit and prevent coming back home to a damaged system.
Along with making sure your system is running, you will want to make sure all the vents are open. With closed vents, you can create cold or hot spots within the home and prevent the proper air flow.
The opposite goes for windows. Most people don’t leave their windows open when they leave, however you will want to ensure that all the windows are closed and locked. This also helps with air flow and doesn’t waste the cool air that your system is providing.
The best way to ensure your system will be okay when you go on vacation is to schedule a tune-up with The Chill Brothers. A tune-up allows the professionals to check and clean the system to make sure that the system is in good working condition.
You can even upgrade your maintenance level by enrolling The Chill preventative maintenance plan! With this plan, you will receive the best service while also making sure your system is covered.
