Simple tricks that make HVAC maintenance easy

Hiring an HVAC technician every month may not be a sustainable way to maintain the unit.

What’s more, you only need professional maintenance at least once or twice a year, preferably before winter and summer.

Usually, it helps check and test the heating or cooling unit right before the weather changes to an extreme that requires your air conditioning unit to work at its best. Fortunately, it is easy to achieve most of the routine checks without involving an HVAC business. Stick to basic practices such as changing filters and cleaning the air conditioner. Filter replacement should happen every 1 to 3 months, depending on how dusty your area gets. Besides ensuring that the air is clean, it ensures that the unit is not strained; hence it works at optimal efficiency. Cleaning the condenser unit, especially for an outdoors cooling unit, ensures that no debris accumulates as this would hinder free air circulation and interfere with the heating and cooling process. Regular cleaning minimizes the potential of clogging. Besides these, you also have to check the evaporator coil drain pipes. Have the HVAC professional show you where they are located. Focus on checking for clogs as this could affect the air conditioner’s ability to eliminate excess moisture in the house. Always call an air conditioner service provider to check if the unit is in its best condition. Remember that you do not have to wait for the unit to develop faults before bringing in an HVAC provider. This is one system that works best with regular maintenance, mostly before it is heavily used.
