Regardless of the season we are getting into, it is essential to ensure that your HVAC unit is in perfect order.
However, this is not always the case since it is not always perfect.
The best a homeowner can do is to stick to recommendations from the HVAC business or the HVAC professional that handles their repairs and maintenance. One of the best things you can do just before spring to ensure that the unit responds effectively when needed is to change filters. Depending on where you live, vary your AC and furnace filters as often as you need to. You should be aware that clean air filters can reduce energy use in your home significantly. The unit is less likely to overwork when there is no airflow restriction. Besides this, the air quality in your home is enhanced every time you change the filter, especially if you are using the HEPA filters, which are not only of high quality but also highly recommended for air purification. In case the filter you are using is disposable, make sure to replace it every month. The same applies to washable filters, which should be cleaned or washed every month to eliminate any lodged debris causing air resistance. Next, check the ductwork and ensure that it is not leaking. Leaky ductworks can be a serious issue as they may cause energy loss, which translates to higher expenses on energy costs. Clean and clear drainage holes next as the unit needs the drainage hole clean and accessible to work well. The system needs to drain regularly to avoid putting a lot of strain on the unit.
