How to Take Care of Your HVAC Unit

April 15, 2024

For home or business owners, the longevity and efficiency of HVAC units are crucial for maintaining a comfortable environment and maximizing energy efficiency. Here are a few tips to keep your system running smoothly.

Filter Changes: Clogged filters restrict airflow, making your system work harder and reducing its efficiency. Aim to replace filters every 1-3 months, depending on usage and filter type.

Scheduled Maintenance Checks: Annual or bi-annual maintenance checks can prevent costly repairs and extend the lifespan of your HVAC unit. Checks include inspecting components, cleaning coils, lubricating moving parts, and ensuring optimal system performance.

Vacation Preparation: Before leaving, adjust your HVAC settings accordingly. In warmer months, raise the temperature to reduce cooling costs, and in cooler months, keep the temperature above 55 degrees to prevent freezing pipes.

Outdoor Unit Care: Ensure the outdoor unit is free from debris, such as leaves, branches, and dirt. Trim foliage around the unit to maintain proper airflow and prevent obstruction.

Indoor Air Quality: Invest in indoor air quality products, such as air purifiers or humidifiers, to enhance comfort and health. Clean indoor air filters regularly and consider upgrading to high-efficiency filters to capture more pollutants and allergens.

Proactive HVAC maintenance is key to avoiding costly repairs and enjoying year-round comfort in your home.
