Why Spring HVAC Maintenance Matters in Idaho

Scheduling a professional tune-up in spring ensures your system is operating efficiently after winter and ready to tackle the scorching Boise summer heat.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), a well-maintained HVAC system can save you about 30 percent on energy bills, especially when combined with other cost-savings measures, such as insulation and air sealing.

Think of it as a spring cleaning for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, optimizing its performance and saving you money!

5 Tips to Keep Your Boise Home Cool and Efficient

You can count on Western to help you make the best choices when it comes to keeping your home running efficiently:

  1. Spring Cleaning for Savings
    A spring tune-up, cleaning, and inspection can also significantly improve your system’s performance and save you money on energy costs.

    Another benefit? Scheduled tune-ups allow our professionals to become more familiar with your HVAC systems so that we can catch minor issues before they become costly problems.
  • Get Smart With Your Thermostat
    Consider a programmable or smart thermostat from Western HVAC. These can automatically adjust temperature settings when you’re away from home or asleep, saving you money without sacrificing comfort.
  • Embrace the Shade
    Keep your drapes and blinds closed in the daytime, especially if they hang on southwest-facing windows.

    Consider buying window film that will let light into your Boise home while reflecting heat from it. Applying the film to your windows will enable you to let light in while keeping heat out.
  • Enjoy the Breeze
    Ceiling fans create a cooling wind chill effect, allowing you to raise the thermostat a few degrees and still feel comfortable. Set your fans to rotate counter-clockwise during the summer to push cool air down.
  • Spring into Clean Air
    Regularly replace your air filter for optimal HVAC performance and indoor air quality (IAQ). A clean air filter allows your system to work more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and saving you money on utility bills.
