DIY Home Comfort Tips from Stegall Experts

Welcome to Stegall Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical’s DIY Home Comfort Guide!

At Stegall, we believe in empowering our customers with the knowledge and skills to maintain a comfortable and efficient home. While we’re always here to provide professional services, there are many DIY tasks you can undertake to save money and minimize the need for costly repairs.

Heating and Cooling

  1. Change your air filters regularly. Clogged filters make your HVAC system work harder, leading to higher energy bills and potential breakdowns.
  2. Inspect your outdoor unit and clear away any debris, leaves, or vegetation that could block airflow.
  3. Use a programmable thermostat to optimize your energy usage and ensure your home is only heated or cooled when necessary.

Plumbing

  1. Fix leaky faucets promptly. A dripping faucet can waste hundreds of gallons of water per month, driving up your water bill.
  2. Insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing and condensation buildup.
  3. Check for water leaks around toilets, sinks, and appliances. Even minor leaks can cause significant damage over time.

Electrical

  1. Replace outdated or damaged electrical outlets and switch plates. This simple task can improve safety and prevent electrical hazards.
  2. Install GFCI outlets in areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
  3. Regularly check for and replace burnt-out light bulbs. Efficient LED bulbs can significantly reduce your energy consumption.
