Easy Tips to Keep Your HVAC System Up and Running

Your HVAC unit is like the comfort center of your home or business. On hot days, it keeps everyone cool and relaxed. On cool days, it warms everything up so you can go about your day as content and comfortable.

So what do you do when your unit is running poorly, or seems to be working less efficiently than normal? Do you know how to ensure that your HVAC unit is functioning properly with some minor checks?

In this post, we'll give you some tips on maintaining your HVAC unit, helping to prolong its use, and lessening the time in between regularly scheduled maintenance.

Check Filters: How often? During peak operation, give them the once over at least once a month; replace them once every six. A clean filter helps your HVAC system run smoothly and at optimum performance at all times of the year.

Clean Coils: Evaporator coils are an easy target for mold. Disinfecting them with a spray bottle mixed half and half with bleach and water keeps them clean and working as expected. Just turn the unit off before applying cleaner, and wave goodbye to any potential mold problems.

Wipe Fans: Dirt accumulates on fans in a short amount of time. This dirt can cause strain on the system, ruining your HVAC's efficiency. Wipe fans clean at the same time you check your filter.

Sop up Water: Some water accumulation during peak running times is expected. However, if you see large pools of water, it means something more serious is going on. This is why a regular inspection by a service professional is important.

Keeping your HVAC system in tip-top shape is important to every individual in your home. So keeping it running with regular, professional maintenance should be on the top of your list.
