HVAC Maintenance Tips to Get You Ready for Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It is a time of traditions, family, feasting, and most importantly gratitude. For some, the holidays are the only time of year the whole family gets together. You don’t want to miss it, but you are also leery about getting together and putting the family at risk. So how do you get ready for such a big holiday?
With the new normal, a lot of people have opted for virtual gatherings or even cancelling their Thanksgiving plans altogether. But what if all you want is to celebrate with family after being in quarantine for months? You want to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but you also want to minimize putting your family at risk.
We’ve got you covered with these tips on how to prepare your home for Thanksgiving this year.
Get an Air Purification System
An Air Purification System can be attached directly to the HVAC system ductwork and has been proven effective in reducing bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens on surfaces and in the air that can cause respiratory irritation and infection. It’s even effective against DNA and RNA viruses such as Swine Flu (H1N1), Avian Bird Flu (H5N8), Hepatitis A (HAV), and MS2 bacteriophage.
Get a Tune-up for your HVAC System
An annual tune-up for your HVAC system by a licensed HVAC technician will help you save money on cooling costs and avoid emergency repairs later. The last thing you want is for the AC or Heating to conk out right in the middle of dinner. If you’re looking for a great deal, you can check out this dual AC and Heating $99 Tune up with a free sanitation!
Install an Air Filtration System
Filtration is the most common and typically the most effective method for HVAC systems to purify contaminated air. Consider upgrading to one of our 4 Inch filters instead of the standard 1 inch for extra protection.
Establish a set of rules for the evening
Covid-19 is still a threat, but you don’t want that to ruin a perfectly good evening, so it’s best to set some ground rules. Ask all of your guests to get tested if they can. Remind everyone to not bring any unexpected guests. Practice social distancing when possible. If you live in a warm place, consider doing it al fresco. Don’t share cutlery with each other. Have sanitizers around the house.
‘Wow’ them with the food
Nothing says Thanksgiving like a good old oven roasted Turkey. Don’t forget to brine the Turkey in a salt bath the night before. Also, before sticking it in the oven, add a herb-butter mixture underneath the skin of the turkey. Although it is a messy job, massaging the butter mixture directly on the surface of the turkey meat allows it to absorb additional flavor and moisture while it is roasting.
You and your loved ones deserve a clean, safe, and healthy home. Ensure that this celebration will be a clean, safe, and comfortable holiday gathering with joyful moments your family will cherish forever.
