SEVEN TIPS TO MAKE SURE YOUR HVAC SYSTEM IS READY FOR SPRING

  1. SCHEDULE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE FOR YOUR SYSTEM.
    Preventative maintenance will help your system last longer by catching problems before they do damage to your system. A properly maintained AC unit will not only perform better, but will also save money by running more efficiently.

  2. CHANGE YOUR FILTERS EACH SEASON.
    When you change the old filters with new, clean ones, there is no dirt or dust coming back into your home. This allows your system to work more efficiently and provides cleaner air to breathe.
  3. INVEST IN A PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT.
    Wi-Fi thermostats can be programmed from your computer or mobile device, giving you the ability to control the temperature in your home while you’re away, which helps with saving money.
  4. KEEP YOUR HVAC UNITS CLEAN.
    If your heating and cooling units are outside, make sure to clear any debris that may be gathering around the coils. Keeping leaves out of the system will definitely help your system to run properly.
  5. CHECK FOR ANY AIR LEAKS AND INSULATE.
    Air leaks from your insulation can cause your HVAC to run harder and less efficiently, which will increase your energy bills.
  6. CLEAN ALL VENTS AND REGISTERS.
    Keeping the airways clean from dust and other particles that build up, such as pet dander, helps to improve the overall efficiency and keeps air inside your home clean.
  7. INSPECT ALL PIPE INSULATION AND CONDENSATE LINES.
    Any damaged insulation should be replaced to ensure your system continues running at optimal efficiency. A condensate line, which is the small dripping line coming from your HVAC unit, can cause drain issues in your home if it is not working properly. Inspecting this line can avoid increased untility bills and damage to your home.
