Turn your system off when you're toasty or when you're out to prevent unnecessary wear. Using the timer on your thermostat so that it switches off when it reaches a certain temperature or turns on just before you get back from work is best. An annual maintenance contract can be helpful to ensure your system receives these important services at regular intervals.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends using an EPA-registered disinfectant product to disinfect a house properly. If such a product isn't handy, a strong bleach solution can disinfect high-touch surfaces. Before hiring a professional, be sure to discuss the type of chemicals and disinfectants they plan to use to ensure they’re safe for household use.

Hiring a professional house cleaner costs between $120 and $240 per visit. Most homeowners can expect to pay an average of $170 for a cleaning and disinfecting service. House cleaning services may include disinfection of high-touch surfaces, but it’s best to ask your cleaner to be sure it’s included in their services.

The best location for return air vents is strategic to ensure balanced airflow and temperature control. In most homes, placing them in central, open areas like hallways or large living spaces is most effective. Ideally, they should be located across from a supply vent. Climate is also a factor: in warm climates, place vents high on the walls to help remove rising hot air, while in colder climates, lower placement is better. It's also important to ensure that vents placed low on walls are not blocked by furniture. The optimal placement ultimately depends on your HVAC system's design, your home's specific heating and cooling needs, and the accessibility of the ductwork.
