Hosting family and friends during the December holidays in Martinsburg is exciting—but it also puts extra demand on your HVAC system. From higher occupancy to increased indoor activity, your heating system may need a little extra preparation to keep everyone comfortable.
This checklist ensures your HVAC system can handle the holiday hustle without overworking or compromising efficiency.
HVAC Checklist for Hosting Holiday Guests
- Schedule a Pre-Holiday Inspection – Ensure your system is clean, efficient, and ready for increased use.
- Replace or Clean Air Filters – Fresh filters improve airflow and indoor air quality for a healthy, comfortable environment.
- Check Vents and Airflow – Keep vents and registers clear of furniture, decorations, and trees to ensure even heating.
- Adjust Thermostat Settings – Use programmable schedules to maintain comfort in occupied rooms and save energy when rooms are empty.
- Balance Room Temperatures – Adjust dampers or vents to prevent hot or cold spots in frequently used areas.
- Monitor Humidity Levels – Increased indoor activity can change humidity; use a humidifier or dehumidifier as needed to maintain comfort.
