Holidays are for celebrating with friends and family but we know how stressful hosting can be. There’s a lot of pressure to ensure everyone is comfortable at your home and the last thing you need is for your Jacksonville HVAC system to malfunction at the most inopportune time. There’s always that one relative that will bring up how uncomfortable it was for years afterward but there is a way to ensure that your HVAC system is operating at peak efficiency before, during, and after your guests arrive for the holidays.

The Ocean State team has compiled the following list of tips to help you prepare your Jacksonville HVAC system for the holidays and focus on the things that truly matter like being together with your loved ones!

Schedule a Maintenance Visit

Even if your Jacksonville HVAC system seems to be running smoothly, there could still be underlying issues that pop up when you least expect it. We recommend exercising caution by scheduling a maintenance visit so that one of our Jacksonville HVAC technicians can examine your system, diagnose any issues, and get it fixed that same day. We have several customers who have been on our maintenance plans for years because it gives them peace of mind to know that it affords them twice annual visits from our techs to keep their Jacksonville HVAC system firing on all cylinders.

Our maintenance plans will let you rest easy knowing that your system has been inspected by professionals and you’re all set for holiday hosting duties! We’re currently offering $10 off a maintenance plan when you sign up today–a savings you can find on the list of specials on our website!

Change Out Your Air Filters

Clogged air filters are a recipe for discomfort during the holidays as they restrict air flow, impede your Jacksonville HVAC system and its ability to function properly, and also fail to remove harmful pathogens from the air that can cause illness to spread. At Ocean State, we have our very own Filter Club that delivers the filters you need to your home and we go to great lengths to ensure they arrive exactly when you need them. We also offer duct cleaning services to help everyone breathe easier at the dinner table and what’s more, we’re offering a special seasonal savings of $150 off your duct cleaning just in time for the holidays!

Make Adjustments to Your Thermostat

It seems like nobody can ever agree on what temperature the home should be during the holidays but one thing is for certain and that’s temperatures rising indoors when multiple people are occupying the house. To ensure that there is a consistently comfortable temperature throughout your holiday gathering, consider adjusting the thermostat on your Jacksonville HVAC system to accommodate your guests and to account for the increase in temperature. Technology has really progressed over the last few years and there are so many benefits to investing in a smart thermostat that allows you to control the temperature any time of day throughout every room of your home. These smart thermostats not only increase your Jacksonville HVAC system efficiency, but they end up saving you money on energy bills over the long run!
