Spring HVAC Maintenance Tips
After a long winter, one of the last things people consider is to check on their heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. If you live in a colder area with harsh winters, you probably made good use of your heating system.
Now, with spring weather right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to schedule maintenance on your beloved HVAC system. Although you may not see the urgency in scheduling a heating system tune-up, there are many benefits to regular maintenance on your heating system.
Benefits of Performing Maintenance on HVAC Systems
Aside from the obvious benefit of a properly functioning HVAC system, scheduling regular maintenance has a number of benefits. The first among these being air quality. If your HVAC is not maintained, the air can easily become polluted with items such as pet dander, pollen, mold or mildew. Another benefit to regular maintenance is that its a guaranteed way to extend the life span of your equipment. When your appliances are clean and well taken care of, there is no strain on the equipment. This ensures that it will perform better and last much longer than neglected appliances. Not only this but by regularly scheduling repairs to catch smaller problems, bigger, more costly repairs are avoided in the future.
HVAC Clean-Up
In order to get the most out of your HVAC system, regular tune-ups are a necessity. These regular check-ups can prevent more expensive problems from happening in the future. During an HVAC tune-up, your technician will perform a thorough check of your HVAC system, as well as make any needed repairs. They will inspect all of your AC systems to make sure everything is working as it should. Depending on the condition of the air conditioning system, they may perform a cleaning to keep it in prime condition.
They will also examine your HVAC ducts to determine if there is a leakage. If so, they will come in with a new, long-lasting sealant to provide you with optimum coverage. Once this has been completed, if the technician notices any problems, they will either fix them on the spot or make an appointment to come back and complete the repairs.
Air Conditioner Maintenance
Regular maintenance on your air conditioner by a certified technician can help your unit last you for many years to come. You’ll save money on energy and avoid having to make an early replacement on an AC unit. Your technician will most likely remove any debris that can be found in or around the fan cage of your external AC. One of the most important tasks that should be performed regularly is replacing the filter found in your AC. A dirty, clogged filter causes your system’s performance to decrease. When your system is using a dirty filter, it has to work harder, causing your energy bill to rise. Two additional areas of your unit that will be maintained are the condenser and evaporator coils. Constant use over a long winter can result in these coils collecting dust that reduces airflow and makes it difficult for the evaporator coil to absorb heat. A technician will examine the coils and make the needed changed to allow adequate air flow. It can be easy to forget and neglect HVAC tune-ups, however, the benefits are vast. Don’t hesitate to make an appointment for your spring HVAC maintenance check-up.
