Switching from air conditioning to heating can be awkward. From the bad smells that come from burning debris to the changes in your power bill as you find a comfortable temperature, a lot of calibrating needs to be done as the months get cooler. Before accepting your current system's performance as the status quo, consider a few services and upgrades that can transform your home comfort for the better.

Duct Cleaning and Heating Renovation

When any air system is turned on for the first time in months—or even weeks—without proper maintenance, your home's air can fill up with dust. Even with a filter installed, dust can settle into openings after the filter installation, simply because dust can wander almost anywhere with air access.

This can lead to days of dust in the air. Unless you have standalone air filters (meaning aside from your air conditioning filtration), this can be a problem for people with asthma or allergies. For people without breathing problems, the smell of burning dust (which is different depending on the material) can be irritating.

To solve this problem, a home heating and ventilation professional needs to handle maintenance before the cooler weather really sets in. Some duct cleaning, heating-unit cleaning, and air-quality control can help your home stay easier on the lungs, which can mean spending less on allergy and breathing medication for many people.

Easier Temperature Control with Smart-Home Technology

The best benefit of smart-home technology is that you can make a lot more customized decisions about how things work, and you can do so with a computer. The term "smart" in most marketing areas usually means that an interactive computer (something that can be tapped, clicked, or swiped like an Android/Apple phone, or Windows/Mac computer) is helping you get things done.

With smart-home heating and air conditioning controls, you can control temperature thresholds and how often you want the system to be on. Are you less concerned about your home being exactly 75 degrees and more concerned about not being too hot or too cold? Many smart-home systems will allow you to set wider thresholds to get that kind of flexible comfort.

Did you leave home for a long trip, only to remember that your home heating is on full blast? With smart-home technology, you can either turn off the system or change the threshold to something more appropriate, if you have animals at home, while saving money on your power bill.
