Seasonal HVAC Maintenance Tips for Spring
Seasonal HVAC Maintenance Tip 1 – Unclog the Clogged AC filters
Your AC system’s filters play an important role in keeping the dirt and pathogens out of your home while cool air flows in. Over time, this debris builds up, causing your filters to do a poor job. Summer season is also when allergy season starts. You do not want your kids, elderly parents, and/or pets to experience an allergy attack from the debris that is not getting filtered out.
Plus, clogged filters affect the flow of air from the AC, too, making your AC system work less efficiently. Plus, your AC may consume more electricity to operate – which can rake up your bills in the summer, given how often the AC system will be on during this season.
Our Next Maintenance Tip – Check for Leaks with the AC system
The AC refrigerant is a chemical that is loaded into the coils in the condenser and evaporator in your system. The refrigerant’s job is to help produce cool air in your AC system so that your property always receives cold and refreshing airflow.
If the coils are damaged, the refrigerant might start to leak and evaporate. This can cause your AC system to overheat, releasing warm air instead. This can be very uncomfortable for you and other residents during the summer when temperatures are already so hot. So, it is necessary to get your AC checked and fix any refrigerant leaks before the summer heat begins.
Have an Expert Clean the AC Condenser Coils as Part of Seasonal HVAC Maintenance
Even if the refrigerant is not leaking, a dirty coil system can hamper the refrigerant. That can lead to increasing temperatures within your home or office space too. Any debris in the AC system will make your AC perform poorly and increase energy use throughout the day.
It is important to have an experienced HVAC specialist to do this for you since the condenser coils are very sensitive and susceptible to bending or breakage.
Schedule HVAC Maintenance to Have the AC Unit Inspected, Cleaned, and Repaired
Even if you implement the above tips, over time, you may notice your AC system becomes less efficient. This is often due to age and overuse. In such cases, it helps to open the entire AC unit and get everything checked out.
