Proactive care and attention can ensure that you system functions at peak efficiency for as long as possible. For example, consistent maintenance is crucial. Simple tasks like changing air filters regularly, scheduling annual or seasonal tune-ups, and cleaning outside components can significantly prolong your system’s useful life. Also, keep in mind that continuous operation can strain components, so be sure to set you thermostat to auto mode where possible or switch the system off when not needed to conserve energy and promote longevity.
