HVAC Maintenance: Do It Before the Heat Sets In!

As the summer season approaches, it is important to make sure that your HVAC system is in good working condition. Without regular maintenance, your HVAC system could suffer from decreased efficiency, increased energy costs, and even complete breakdowns. To ensure your HVAC system is ready for the summer heat, here are five basic maintenance tasks to do.

1. Check the Air Filters

One of the most important maintenance tasks for your HVAC system is checking and replacing air filters. Air filters are responsible for trapping dust, dirt, and other debris from entering your HVAC system, which can reduce its efficiency and lead to costly repairs. For optimal performance, we recommend that air filters are replaced every month.

2. Clean the Coils

The evaporator and condenser coils are responsible for transferring heat from the air to the refrigerant. If these coils become dirty, it can reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system and lead to higher energy costs. To prevent this, schedule Professional Maintenance with us to have your coils cleaned at least once a year.

3. Examine the Ducts

The ducts are responsible for delivering cooled or heated air throughout your home. If these ducts become blocked or damaged, it can reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system and lead to higher energy costs. To prevent this, schedule our Worry-Free Duct Cleaning™ and Worry-Free Duct Sealing™ so we can clean, seal, and repair any damage or blockages.

4. Test the Thermostat

The thermostat is responsible for controlling the temperature of your home. If it is not working properly, it can lead to higher energy costs and uncomfortable temperatures. To prevent this, it is important to test your thermostat at least once a year and replace any faulty parts.

5. Schedule a Professional Tune-Up

Finally, it is important to schedule a professional tune-up for your HVAC system at least once a year. One of our professional technicians can inspect your system for any potential problems and make any necessary repairs. This can help to ensure that your system is running as efficiently as possible and can help reduce energy costs. By performing these five basic HVAC maintenance tasks before summer starts, you can get your system running as efficiently as possible and can help to reduce energy costs.
