Despite the season we are getting into, it is essential to ensure that your HVAC device is in perfect order. This is not consistently the case since it is not consistently perfect, but the best a homeowner can do is to stick to recommendations from the HVAC device supplier 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 component responds effectively when needed is to change the air filters. Depending on where you live, change your A/C and oil furnace filters as often as you need to. You should be aware that clean air filters can actually reduce energy use in your household significantly. The component is less likely to overwork when there is no airflow restriction in the least. Besides this, the air quality in your household 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 single month. The same applies to washable filters, which should be cleaned or washed every month to get rid of any lodged debris causing air resistance. Next, check the HVAC duct and be certain that it is not leaking… Leaky HVAC ducts can be a dire complication as they may cause energy loss, which translates to higher expenses on energy bills. Clean and clear drainage holes next as the component requires the drainage hole clean and accessible to work especially well. The system needs to drain properly to avoid putting a tremendous amount of strain on the unit.
