What Are Some Effective Methods For Maintaining My HVAC Unit?

2/14/2024 (Permalink)

Cold weather here in Attica will be over soon, and it won’t be long before you’ll need to start preparing for summertime! Your HVAC unit has worked hard all winter, so some care and maintenance will be required to prepare it for warmer weather. 

How Do I Get My HVAC Unit Ready For Warmer Weather?

Here are some effective methods to help you get your HVAC unit ready for warmer weather:

• Air Filters. Checking your air filter during heavy use is vital to properly operating your HVAC system. It should be inspected every month and may need to be replaced even sooner than the recommended 3-month mark when use is heavy. Make sure you have the proper replacement handy. 
• Air Return Grills. Registers and air return grilles in your home or business must be maintained to ensure they haven’t become blocked or shut; this will restrict airflow throughout your HVAC systems and negatively affect performance.
• Outdoor Cooling Equipment. Have your cooling equipment outdoors inspected. Trim vegetation that has grown up around these units to allow for easy maintenance and airflow. Ensure the area around your HVAC is clear of obstructions so your professional HVAC technician can access the units. 
• Drip Pans. Drip pans and condensate drain lines need to remain clear. If these components of your HVAC system become clogged with mold or algae, condensation will not exit your office or business premises. That can cause the cooling system to malfunction or water to back up indoors, causing water damage. Your technician can clear any clogs within the drip pan or condensate drain lines as soon as they find them. Use a wet/dry vacuum to remove water from the drip pan or rags to soak it up, and clean the drip pan using a mild soap.
