I used to have a pretty severe problem when it came to keeping on top of the HVAC system maintenance.
The most important thing I realized was changing the air filters on a regular basis, but that was something that always slipped my mind.
When we had issues with the HVAC system, I learned that it was because I wasn’t changing the air filters on time. I actually told the HVAC technician that I was sorry about my poor memory when it came to changing out the air filters. He laughed and said that his father had similar issues, but that’s why he taught him to set an alarm on his computer and to mark it on his calendar. I honestly didn’t think to set an alarm for air filter changes and regular HVAC system maintenance. I thought it was a brilliant idea though and so I set up an alarm on my computer as well on the computer calendar. I set the alerts to be reoccurring each and every month and I have made sure to have alarms for when to get my HVAC system tune-ups. Ever since I started doing this, I have not missed any air filter changes and I’m feeling pretty good about that. I notice that the air quality is better in the house and the HVAC system doesn’t struggle like it used to. I have also noticed that the energy bills are lower, and I really have that nice HVAC technician to thank for these positive changes. I wish setting up calendar alerts was something I would have thought about doing a long time ago.
