Keep Your HVAC Running Strong This Winter — Tips from Legacy’s Spencer Wilhelm
Las Vegas doesn’t see snowstorms or freezing nights, but that doesn’t mean your HVAC system gets the season off. The truth? Fall is one of the most important times to show your system some love.
In a recent interview, Spencer Wilhelm from Legacy Cooling, Heating, Plumbing & Electrical explained why HVAC maintenance is just as critical in our cooler months — and how it can save you serious money (and headaches) down the road.
Why Mild Winters Still Stress Your HVAC System
Dust. Dry desert air. Sudden temperature swings. All those elements combine to make your system work harder than you might think.
“When dust and debris build up — especially in your outdoor condenser or filters — your HVAC has to push air through a clogged system,” Wilhelm explains. “That extra effort puts stress on the components and reduces efficiency.”
In short, even in Vegas’ mild winter, neglecting your HVAC can lead to higher energy bills and premature wear.
Fall: The Best Season for Preventive Maintenance
The transition between cooling and heating seasons is prime time for a professional tune-up.
“Before it gets cold, make sure your furnace actually turns on and runs properly,” Wilhelm says. “And while you’re at it, check that your cooling system is ready for next summer too.”
That dual-purpose check helps prevent breakdowns and ensures your HVAC is performing at its best — when you need it most.
Save Money with an Energy-Efficient Furnace
We all love a good Vegas deal, especially when it saves money month after month. Efficient furnaces, Wilhelm says, use advanced blower motors that move air more effectively. That means your system doesn’t have to constantly recondition the air, cutting down on energy use.
A furnace tune-up can boost efficiency, reduce wear, and help your HVAC system last longer — all while keeping more money in your pocket.
Pro Tip: Don’t Forget Your Air Filters (and Ducts!)
If you remember one thing, let it be this: change your filters regularly.
“It’s the number one thing homeowners forget,” Wilhelm notes. “Dirty filters choke your system, making it work way too hard.”
And while you’re at it, consider your air ducts. Over time, dust, allergens, and debris build up inside, recirculating through your home. Leaky ducts can even send your heated air straight into the attic — and your money with it.
A professional cleaning keeps your indoor air fresh and your HVAC running efficiently.
