Trouble sleeping? There are many things that can negatively impact your sleep quality in Ocala, Florida, including your HVAC unit. Here are a few ways your HVAC system could be preventing you and your family from getting a good night of sleep:
Noisy HVAC
A noisy HVAC unit might not only prevent you from getting a good night of sleep. It can also indicate a problem with it. If the rattling, hissing and squealing noises coming from your unit are keeping you up through the night, it might be time to have it checked by an HVAC professional. These sounds can mean anything from a loose part to a leaking air duct. The sooner you repair the issue, the less damage you’ll sustain.
Uncomfortable Temperature
A warm home might help you relax and get cozy after a long day at work. But it can actually negatively impact your sleep quality. If your home doesn’t properly cool in time for bedtime, you might find it difficult to fall or stay asleep.
Ignoring HVAC tune-ups can result in a unit that has to work harder to achieve a comfortable setting. As a result, it’ll also waste energy and money. By investing in a programmable thermostat, you can ensure your home drops to a comfortable temperature before bedtime.
Poor Air Quality
Allergy symptoms, including a runny nose and frequent sneezing, can also make it difficult to get a good night of sleep. Of course, these symptoms can be a sign that you’re coming down with a cold. But it could also indicate that your unit or air filter has a lot of built-up dust. It’s important to change your air filter every three months. If you have pets or suffer from allergies, change it every month.
Your heating and cooling unit could be to blame for your poor sleep quality. Ignoring maintenance tasks such as tune-ups and changing air filters can also impact sleep. Call Sun Kool Air Conditioning, Inc. at (352) 330-1067 to schedule your maintenance appointment today.
