Spring's warmer weather has finally arrived here in Norfolk MA. As the spring flowers bloom, it's time to do some home maintenance. One of your spring to-do items should be HVAC system maintenance, which will keep your cooling system running smoothly in the coming months.
Spring HVAC Maintenance Tasks
Source: iStock.com/SerenethosHere are routine HVAC maintenance tasks you can tackle this spring:
- Change the air filter regularly. A forced-air HVAC system needs free flowing clean air to run properly. If you have a clogged filter, that air isn't flowing freely and it's full of dust and minute particulates. Once a month, check the filter and change it as needed.
- Clear the outside unit of debris. If you have central A/C or a heat pump, then you have a condenser unit outside. Just like the inside, these outdoor units need airflow to run efficiently. Take a look around the outdoor component and see if there are any leaves or debris; clear it all away to avoid restricting airflow.
- Install a programmable thermostat. When no one's home, there's no reason for your HVAC system to run at full capacity. A programmable thermostat allows you to coordinate your cooling and heating with your family's schedule.
- Schedule annual system maintenance. Once a year, you need to have an HVAC technician come out and do routine maintenance. The technician will inspect, clean, lubricate and test the system from top to bottom. Simple preventive maintenance can lower your repair needs, prolong the system's life, and keep your energy costs down.
- Consider an HVAC upgrade. The period between the heat of summer and the cold of winter is the perfect time to have HVAC upgrades done. If your system is over 10 years old or if it's having significant ongoing repair issues, consider replacing your old system with a newer, more efficient one.
Don't let summer's heat arrive without performing these spring HVAC system maintenance tasks. Contact the experienced pros at Rodenhiser Plumbing, Heating & Air to schedule your annual maintenance.
