Living in Lamar, Colorado means dealing with extreme temperature swings throughout the year. Your HVAC system works overtime to keep your home comfortable during scorching summers and frigid winters. Regular maintenance isn't just recommended—it's essential for system longevity and efficiency.

Check and Replace Air Filters: This simple task can dramatically improve your system's efficiency. Replace standard filters every 1-3 months, depending on usage and household factors like pets or allergies.

Clear Outdoor Unit Area: Keep at least two feet of clearance around your outdoor unit. Remove debris, trim vegetation, and ensure proper airflow for optimal performance.

Monitor Thermostat Settings: Programmable thermostats can save significant energy costs. Set temperatures 7-10 degrees different when away from home.

Spring Preparation: Clean supply and return vents, check for unusual noises, and schedule professional cooling system inspection before summer heat arrives.

Fall Readiness: Test heating system operation, inspect ductwork for leaks, and ensure carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly.
