Springtime is upon us, and soon enough temperatures will be on the rise, enough so that you’ll want to start using your air conditioner if favor of your heater.

Of course, if you have a heat pump system these are one and the same. The best thing you can do this time of the year is to go ahead and schedule a maintenance session for your system. Since heat pumps work year-round, these systems need a professional tune-up twice a year instead of once a year.

Whether you already had this spring’s tune-up done already or not, the fact is that if you are trying to switch your heat pump to cooling mode and it won’t budge, you have a problem! Read on to learn more about what’s going on here.

You may have heard or seen us say at one point that it’s important to change out your HVAC air filter every 1–3 months. We aren’t just throwing this out as a random suggestion. We are offering this tip as a way for you to get the most effective and most efficient use out of your furnace or air conditioner. And considering how much we have to use both around here, chances are you’d like to do anything to keep your heater running powerfully and affordably, right?

Well, one method of doing this is by performing a small maintenance task—changing the air filter. You might be surprised to find just how important this small component is. It’s about much more than protecting or improving your home’s indoor air quality. In fact, that is not the purpose of this air filter at all.
