Keeping Your Home Comfortable in Every Season
As residents of Tuscaloosa, Northport, and the surrounding areas know, Alabama’s climate can be challenging. From sweltering summers to chilly winters, your HVAC system works hard to keep your home comfortable year-round. At Farley & Hysaw, we understand the importance of a well-maintained heating and cooling system. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you keep your HVAC system running smoothly throughout the year.
Regular Maintenance: The Key to Longevity
One of the most crucial aspects of HVAC care is regular maintenance. By scheduling routine check-ups, you can:
- Extend the lifespan of your system
- Improve energy efficiency
- Prevent unexpected breakdowns
- Ensure consistent performance
We recommend having your HVAC system serviced at least twice a year – once before the cooling season and once before the heating season. This allows our technicians to catch and address any potential issues before they become major problems.
DIY Maintenance Tips
While professional maintenance is essential, there are several things you can do to keep your system running smoothly between service visits:
1. Change air filters regularly: This simple task can significantly improve your system’s efficiency and air quality.
2. Keep outdoor units clear: Remove debris and trim vegetation around your outdoor unit to ensure proper airflow.
3. Clean air vents and registers: Dust and debris can accumulate, reducing airflow and efficiency.
4. Monitor thermostat settings: Programmable thermostats can help optimize your system’s performance and save energy.

Even with regular maintenance, your HVAC system may occasionally need professional attention. Watch for these signs that indicate it’s time to call Farley & Hysaw:
– Unusual noises or odors
– Inconsistent temperatures throughout your home
– Increased energy bills
– Frequent cycling on and off
– Poor air quality or humidity control
