While you may assume cranking down the thermostat will lower your indoor temperatures quickly, it&#8217;s not true. The tactic only hurts your system more, as it has to work harder and longer to achieve the temperatures you set on the thermostat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running for an extended period increases your system\u2019s parts\u2019 wear and tear, resulting in high repair costs. Consider using your usual temperature setting on the thermostat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedule Heat Pump Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any machines, heat pumps need regular tuneups to maintain optimal performance. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hushair.com\/services\/maintenance-plans\">maintenance<\/a> visit involves procedures such as cleaning and inspecting all the components, repairing any worn-out parts, lubricating the moving parts and fixing any leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean Your Air Filter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An air filter keeps your indoor air clean and healthy by catching pollutants in the air that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hushair.com\/services\/heat-pump-services\">heat pump<\/a> circulates throughout your home. In turn, this removes many of those contaminants from the air you breathe. As a result, the filter can eventually clog, which will prevent your heat pump from pulling in as much air as it needs to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this happens, your system will work harder to make up for the airflow issues. This makes the system less efficient and can even lead to costly repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pay Attention to The Outdoor Unit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After your heat pump extracts heat from the indoor air, the refrigerant relays this heat to the outdoor component, which disposes it to the environment. Consider clearing any vegetation around the outdoor unit to allow the component to dispose of heat efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call Hush Air Heating &amp; Air Conditioning for exceptional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hushair.com\/services\/air-conditioning\">AC services<\/a>, including heat pump repairs and maintenance.
