Check out the most common HVAC mistakes homeowners often make:1) Wrong positioning
Make sure that units are positioned properly, away from lamps or TV. These devices can trick the thermostat thinking that the inside temperature is higher. Watch out, this could cause high energy bills!

Even if you don’t like thermostat design, don’t cover it to hide it. If you cover thermostat it will heat up quickly. This will also happen if it’s near the window or lamps. Just let it work as it should without direct sunlight or covering up.
3) Ignoring noise or smells
If you notice the bad smell don’t just mask it. You need to eliminate the source of the problem. It could be just dust or dirt, but maybe there is some small animal trapped inside the duct. Also, if you hear a strange noise act immediately. The best decision is to call the professional HVAC team for a system checkup.
