Time to Fall Backwards
This upcoming weekend is a busy weekend for house chores. For those of us who still have manual clocks or VCRs, it is the weekend to Fall backward in time. Historically, this is a great time to check smoke detector batteries and change your heating/air conditioning system air filters. It used to be easy to knock out these few house chores while wandering around spinning the hands of clocks backward. Don’t let technological advancement and smartphones lull you into forgetting to change those batteries and air filters…unless you have in-house robots to do these menial tasks.
Change your air filter regularly
Depending on your air filter type, it should be checked or changed every 1-3 months. Even if you have expensive, clean air filters that last an entire year, it is still worth a minute to check for dirt or anything that might block airflow.
Is it time to consider replacement of your equipment?
Nobody likes to think about such a major expense, but if you have to, the payback time for newer, more efficient equipment is getting shorter and shorter. An investment today can show payback in savings of utility costs in just a few years, not to mention much more efficiency and not worrying about how much more life is left of your equipment. Hillside ALWAYS does free estimates on new and replacement equipment, and we have financing available for those who qualify.
Consider a programmable thermostat
For a limited time, we are giving away a remotely accessible thermostat with a combination heat/air conditioner installation! Up to $800 value! These programmable thermostats are ideal for people with a set schedule, leaving and returning home simultaneously each day. A programmable thermostat will turn your equipment on and off to meet your schedule, so it is warm when you get home, but saving you money while you are away. If your schedule is a bit unpredictable, consider a programmable thermostat that you can access from anywhere you have your smartphone or Internet access. Turn your equipment on or off from anywhere, adjust the temperature, check the outside temperature, and even change your program schedule whenever you need! Hillside proudly offers a fantastic, remotely accessible programmable thermostat; call us if you want more info.
