Never flush anything down the toilet that shouldn't be flushed, including baby wipes, paper towels, or feminine products. Furthermore, try to avoid using excess toilet paper as this can lead to clogs.

Knowing when to replace your air filters depends on how often you use your heating and air conditioning system. A good rule of thumb is to check your system's filters once a month. If dust and debris are clogging your filter, replace it immediately.

Always opt for the right size. An air conditioner that's too large will cool your house to the desired temperature too quickly. That means the system won't have time to remove the excess moisture that makes indoor air feel sticky and humid. An AC unit that's too small won't have enough power to circulate cool air throughout your home. As a result, the system will need to run more frequently, adding wear, tear, and extra money to your energy bills.

Older homes often have rooms that are either too hot or too cold. Sometimes referred to as "zoning" or "air balance" issues, the problem begins in the home's ductwork. These ductwork issues may prevent the home's system from being able to heat and cool all rooms to a uniform temperature. Schedule a ductwork inspection with a licensed technician to determine the cause of the issue, and if a replacement furnace or air conditioner is needed.
