As we all know, Halloween is the most festive season, next to Christmas. People of all ages wear their best costumes and have over-the-top parties with extravagant decorations. So, people come in and out of homes and buildings, have fun outdoors, and come in to rest. Although this situation is fun, your HVAC system will have trouble functioning and can develop damage. So, HVAC Repair Planet Burlingame provided us with the best Halloween hacks to keep your HVAC fully functional throughout the year.
Before planning your Halloween decor this year, ensure to get Halloween air conditioning maintenance so you can party the night away without worrying your guests are hot or uncomfortable because of a faulty air conditioner. If you encounter malfunctions and you need to get them repaired before the festivities, avail yourself of our incredible HVAC repair on Halloween.
Let’s learn the five Halloween HVAC tips for a fun night without compromising your HVAC system.
- Avoid placing Halloween decorations near or on your HVAC unit.
Your HVAC system needs room to breathe and release warm air. So, avoid putting Halloween decorations near your HVAC system so it can freely operate without obstructions. Also, avoid using your HVAC units to hang your decorations. Too much weight can damage your unit, and you’ll need to have it repaired.
Place decorations on doors, windows, tables, and floors. Check that your decors do not obstruct your HVAC system so it can properly operate while you’re inside your home. Therefore, guests can also be comfortable while you are having fun.
- Ensure your unit is safe.
We get that parties can get a little out of hand, so ensure your HVAC unit is always protected. Avoid setting up near your HVAC system so that when accidents happen, it is safe. We can’t control the happiness and excitement of our guests, so place drinks and food somewhere accessible and with lots of space, and away from your HVAC system.
If you have big decorations, find a place you can put them to avoid them from obstructing your HVAC system and blocking its performance. This way, you can enjoy the night and party without worrying that your HVAC unit might get wet or filled with crumbs and other small particles from your decorations.
- Maximize the cold weather outside.
The Halloween season means plenty of trick-or-treaters, but opening and closing your door each time a child knocks on it will take a toll on your HVAC system. It will be difficult to regulate indoor temperatures when cold air comes in every few minutes. So, it is best to avoid constantly opening and closing your doors.
You can get a chair and wait for the trick-or-treaters to come by. If you have a front porch, you can join in on the fun by waiting by the porch, putting on an amazing costume, and making children happier by giving them candy. This way, you won’t have to constantly stand up to open the door; you can relax and enjoy the spooky season outside!
- Avoid using real candles.
Candles are a must when it comes to the spooky season and is a great addition to your decorations. But, the candle smoke can affect your HVAC unit, or melted wax can drip into your unit and damage it. So, find alternatives that are equally spooky but safer.
Battery-operated candles are the same as real candles, but they are safer. So, opt for battery-operated ones to ensure your and your HVAC system’s safety. This way, even when you knock down a candle, you won’t have wax spilling everywhere.
- Only use safety-approved equipment as decor.
Our HVAC system and electrical system are hard-wired to our house. If one is not functioning correctly, the other will be affected. Use safety-approved equipment as decorations to ensure your HVAC system won’t get affected by sudden power outages or electrical damages.
Light fixtures add extra beauty to any home decor, so when you use plenty of lights for the spooky season, ensure reputable companies manufacture them. Other decorations that require electricity should be inspected before buying.
These five simple yet effective tips for your HVAC system’s safety ensure you won’t need an HVAC repair service. But you can always get a maintenance service before the start of every season to ensure your HVAC units are working properly and handle the difficult weather conditions you’ll be facing throughout the year.
