March in Newark often brings rapid temperature changes — warm afternoons followed by chilly mornings. These swings can strain HVAC systems, causing furnaces and heat pumps to run more frequently and increase energy usage.
Tips to Optimize Your HVAC During Temperature Fluctuations
Use a Programmable Thermostat:
Set temperatures to adjust gradually for morning chills and warmer afternoons, reducing system strain.
Check Air Filters and Vents:
Clean filters and ensure vents are unobstructed to maintain efficient airflow and reduce energy costs.
Seal Drafts and Windows:
Prevent cold air infiltration during cooler mornings by sealing gaps and insulating windows where necessary.
Schedule Preventive Maintenance:
A technician can inspect your system for wear and ensure it’s ready for rapid temperature swings.
