Maintenance Tips for Homeowners
Assess and change the air filters in your HVAC system at least once a month. Dirty filters can reduce airflow and cause the system to work harder, leading to increased energy costs and potential damage to the system.
Seasonally clean the coils and drains: Use a water hose on the outdoor unit and shop vac the PVC condensate drain. Removing dirt and debris can improve efficiency and prevent damage.
Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear of debris, such as leaves and grass clippings. This can help improve airflow and prevent damage to the unit.
Make sure all vents and registers are open and not blocked. Blocked vents can cause the system to work harder and reduce overall efficiency.
Set the thermostat to an energy-efficient temperature when you're away from home, this will help reduce wear and tear on the system.
Keep an eye on your energy bills and if you notice a spike in usage or cost, it may be a sign that your HVAC system needs attention.
Have a professional HVAC technician service your system at least once a year. They can check for leaks, clean the components, and perform any necessary repairs.
