Monthly HVAC TLC

In the Mid-South, our air conditioners and furnaces work overtime. A few minutes of monthly attention can save you a lot of money on utility bills.

• Check Your Air Filters: This is the #1 way to keep your system healthy. Check them monthly and replace them if they look grey or dusty.

• Inspect Your Vents: Walk through your home to ensure no furniture or rugs are blocking your supply or return vents.

• Listen for Odd Noises: Keep an ear out for banging, whistling, or rattling, which could indicate a loose part or a struggling motor.

Quarterly Plumbing Health Checks

Plumbing issues are often "out of sight, out of mind" until a leak occurs. Performing these quick checks every few months can protect your Memphis home from water damage.

1. Test Your Shut-off Valves: Turn the water valves under your sinks and toilets to ensure they aren't stuck. In an emergency, you’ll need these to move easily.

2. Inspect the Water Heater: Look for any signs of "sweating" or rust at the base. If you have an older unit, consider learning about the benefits of tankless water heaters to save space and energy.

3. Clean Aerators: Unscrew the screens on your faucets and rinse out any sediment to maintain strong water pressure.

Improving Your Indoor Air Quality

Since we spend so much time indoors during humid Tennessee summers and chilly winters, the air you breathe matters.

• Dust Your Ceiling Fans: Dust builds up on top of blades and is redistributed every time you turn the fan on.

• Vacuum Around Your HVAC Unit: Keeping the area around your indoor air handler clean prevents dust from being sucked into the system.

• Check Humidity Levels: If your home feels too "sticky" or overly dry, it might be time to look into our indoor air quality solutions to find a balance that keeps your family healthy.
