As Raleigh experiences the hottest days of summer, keeping your home cool and comfortable is top of mind. With your HVAC system likely working overtime, a few simple maintenance steps and smart technology upgrades can help improve comfort, manage energy use, and keep your system performing efficiently throughout the rest of the season.

Why Summer HVAC Maintenance Matters

High temperatures and humidity put added demand on your air conditioning system. Midseason is a great time to check that your system is performing as expected and address any small issues before they become bigger problems during peak cooling season.

Three Smart HVAC Tips for Summer

1. Replace or Refresh Air Filters: Clean air filters help maintain proper airflow, support better indoor air quality, and allow your HVAC system to cool your home more efficiently. During periods of heavy summer use, homeowners should check their filters every 30 to 90 days and replace them as recommended.

2. Schedule Seasonal Maintenance: If you haven’t had your system inspected this season, it’s not too late. A Trane Comfort Specialist™ can check refrigerant levels, inspect the outdoor unit, evaluate airflow and identify any maintenance needs to help your system continue performing efficiently. Homeowners should also keep the outdoor unit free of leaves, grass clippings and other debris to support proper airflow.

3. Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat: Summer is a great time to add connected technology to your home. The Trane UX360 Smart Thermostat allows homeowners to adjust temperatures, create schedules and monitor their HVAC system remotely through the Trane Home app. Whether you’re at work, running errands or away on vacation, it’s an easy way to manage home comfort from virtually anywhere.

Consider Solutions for Summer Humidity

Humidity can make your home feel warmer than the thermostat reading suggests. When indoor humidity remains elevated, your HVAC system works to remove both heat and moisture from the air, which may lead to longer run times. Keeping indoor humidity in check can help improve overall comfort and reduce the temptation to lower the thermostat unnecessarily.

Enjoy a Comfortable Rest of the Summer

Even in the middle of the cooling season, a few proactive steps can help improve comfort and support HVAC performance. For expert guidance, smart HVAC upgrades or seasonal maintenance, connect with your local Trane Comfort Specialist™ to find the right solution for your home.
