With the arrival of warmer temperatures, now is the ideal time for homeowners to perform essential maintenance tasks to ensure their HVAC system continues to operate smoothly and efficiently. Here are three important ways to be proactive about spring HVAC maintenance.
Over time, air filters become clogged with dust, dirt and other airborne particles, restricting airflow and lowering system efficiency. This not only affects indoor air quality but also forces your system to work harder. You're more likely to see increased energy consumption and more frequent breakdowns.
Take the time to inspect the outdoor unit, also called the condenser or compressor unit, for any signs of damage or debris. Remove leaves, twigs, or grass clippings from the surrounding area to ensure unobstructed airflow to the unit. Look closely at the fins and coils for any signs of dirt or corrosion; use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to clean them.
While some HVAC maintenance tasks can be performed by homeowners, it's essential to schedule professional maintenance with a licensed HVAC contractor to ensure your system receives comprehensive care. Spring maintenance typically involves a thorough inspection of the entire HVAC system, including checking refrigerant levels, lubricating moving parts, tightening electrical connections and testing thermostat settings.
