Remodeling your home can be a big undertaking. While thinking about moving all your items, that shouldn't be your only concern. You need to make sure that you protect your HVAC system during the remodeling. This is so that it continues to work as it should. Here are five tips for protecting your system during remodeling.

Close Off Vents And Registers

While you don't need to shut all the vents and registers in the home, you should do this in the areas you're remodeling. When it comes to remodeling, there's always dust involved. If vents and registers are open, dust can go through the ventilation system and into other rooms. Tape plastic around every vent and register where you're remodeling to keep dust out.

Do Prep Work Outdoors

While it may be very tempting to sand and cut materials indoors, you shouldn't. Any bit of messy work that you can do outdoors or in your garage you should do there. Keep as much prep work out of the inside of your home as possible. It's easier to clean up dust and debris outdoors or in your garage instead of inside of your home.

Replace Filters Often

You can do a lot to remove most of debris from your home during the remodeling process. There's always going to be some you'll miss. This is from people tracking the dirt and debris through your home when remodeling. Plan on changing out your filters often. This can help to reduce most of the dust from being inside of your ventilation system.

Don't Run Your HVAC At Times Of High Debris

At times when there is dusty work going on inside your home, it's best to turn the HVAC system off. This may not always be an option depending on the weather. It's a great tip if you can use it. It will prevent dust from getting into your HVAC system.

Call In An HVAC Professional After You Finish The Work
