HVAC systems in spring
As the weather starts to warm up, homeowners need to start thinking about their HVAC systems. The spring season is the perfect time to prepare your HVAC system for the hot summer months ahead. In this blog post, we'll discuss some tips on how to get your HVAC system ready for spring.
- Schedule a maintenance check-up
One of the most important things you can do for your HVAC system in the spring is to schedule a maintenance check-up with a professional technician. During the check-up, the technician will inspect your system, clean the coils and filters, and ensure that everything is working properly. This will help ensure that your system is running efficiently and will prevent any major problems from occurring during the summer.
- Replace air filters
The air filters in your HVAC system should be replaced regularly, ideally every 1-3 months. In the spring, it's especially important to replace your air filters, as they can become clogged with pollen and other allergens. By replacing your air filters, you'll improve the air quality in your home and prevent your system from working too hard, which can lead to higher energy bills.
- Check your thermostat
Make sure your thermostat is working properly and set to the right temperature for the season. In the spring, you'll want to set your thermostat to a higher temperature than you would in the winter. This will help you save money on your energy bills and prevent your system from working too hard.
- Clear outdoor units
If you have an outdoor unit, make sure it's clear of debris, such as leaves and branches. This will allow air to flow freely through the unit and prevent it from overheating. If your unit is particularly dirty, you may want to consider having it professionally cleaned.
