February is a perfect time to show some love to your HVAC system. After all, your home's heating and cooling system do a lot of work to keep your living spaces comfortable throughout the year. Fortunately, there are simple and effective ways to extend the love to your HVAC system that also benefits you and anyone else in your home. We offer tips below.

Show Some Love to Your HVAC System This February

Change Your Filters

Your HVAC system will absolutely love having a nice new filter. You'll also benefit from having a heating and cooling system that doesn't have to work so hard to keep your home comfy. Regular filter changes every three months to reduce breakdowns and keep your utility bills in check.

Keep Your Vents Clear and Cover Your Windows

Show some love to your HVAC system by ensuring vents and registers aren't blocked. This is also something that helps boost system efficiency. You'll also be rewarded with more even heating and cooling throughout your home. With your windows, keep blinds or curtains drawn when it's really cold or hot outside to minimize heat transfer.

Take Care of Draft Issues

Air leaks can also contribute to breakdowns and other issues by making your HVAC system work harder to compensate. In addition to making sure all your windows are shut this February when it's cold out, minimize draft issues by:

Replacing old or damaged weather-stripping.
Sealing air leaks around doors and windows.
Watching how often you open and close exterior doors.
Update Your Home's Insulation

Insufficient or missing insulation can also contribute to heat loss and make your HVAC system work harder to keep your home cozy. Pay extra attention to insulation in your attic and basement since these are two areas often overlooked. If your home is older, be especially mindful of insulation that may need to be replaced or upgraded to provide better air transfer protection.

Schedule an Inspection

Another way to show some love to your HVAC system this February is to contact Master Mechanical about an inspection. A routine heating and cooling system inspection is a cost-effective way to identify any problems that can be quickly and affordably corrected. An HVAC inspection typically involves:

Checking the filter.
Looking at internal parts.
Checking thermostat performance and settings.
Determining if any parts or connections need to be adjusted or replaced.
Consider an HVAC Upgrade

While commitment is always an admirable goal, exploring other options is sometimes better. In this case, we're talking about an HVAC system replacement or upgrade. If your current heating and cooling system needs increasingly frequent repairs, this is a step worth taking. Replacing an older HVAC system is also an investment that can pay off by improving efficiency and performance.

Proof We’re the Best HVAC Company Straight From Our Customers

Mini-Split Installation That Exceeded Expectations

Gwen Anderson

Jake is amazing! We reached out to get a quote for a mini-split system to cool our server room, and Jake exceeded our expectations. He recommended a more cost-effective solution that has provided us with incredible results. His out-of-the-box thinking and thoughtfulness are so impressive. I had six other HVAC companies provide quotes, but Jake was the only one who made sustainable and well-considered suggestions. The office staff is also super friendly and helpful!
Came Right on Time for Our

Dominique Haffery

We just had Master Mechanical service our AC units before it gets too hot! This way we know they are operating efficiently! I used to be scared to pay money for these things but it truly saves money in the long run! Master Mechanical was able to come out quickly, give me a shorter window then most companies do in this trade, came right on time, communicated the whole way! They are professional and experts at their craft! Highly recommend!!!
A Great Company for Complicated HVAC Problems

Eric Williams

Jake did an excellent job helping me solve a complex problem that no one else could help with - I needed a new thermostat installed for a unique 120V water chiller AC system, and all other HVAC companies refused to work on it. Jake was on time, friendly, informative, and had it done in less than an hour. Highly recommended!
Saved $1000 With a Second Opinion on AC Repair

Kris

I’m glad I called Master Mechanical for a second opinion. They saved me $1000 over the quote for the same repair from another HVAC company. They were professional on time and fixed my unit same day. They also weren’t pushing upsales. They did let me know my options, but unlike the other company, Master Mechanical didn’t try using scare tactics to get me to buy additional services. Master Mechanical will be my first choice going forward and I’ve already recommended their services to family members as well.
Repaired My Boiler Instead of Pushing an Unnecessary Replacement

Kathleen Ferraro

I am so grateful to Master Mechanical for repairing my old boiler. Danny Chee is very knowledgeable and was able to figure out the problems and repair them. Plus he is a very nice, polite person. He made sure everything was working correctly before leaving, even after 5:00. The people on the phone, Paul and a woman whose name I can't recall, are professional and helpful. I received texts and emails confirming appointments and letting me know when Danny was on his way. They could have sold me a new boiler but instead fixed the old one at a fraction of the cost. I highly recommend them and will continue to rely on them in the future.
