We would be lying if we say that we aren’t looking forward to spring!
However, with the changing weather comes loads of responsibilities for a homeowner, one of which includes preparing the HVAC system for the new weather.
But don’t worry, AAC Heating and Cooling has prepared a list of things you must do to prepare your HVAC system for spring and summer to make things easier for you.
Let’s get right into it.
Change The Furnace Filter
This is one of the tasks that you must do because you don’t want dirty and polluted air to escape into your home. Every homeowner should change the furnace filter at least twice a year, once before fall and at the beginning of spring.
When you’re changing the filter, turn off the system and do so. You can also hire a professional for the task if the filter is located in a place that makes it difficult to access.
Professional Cleaning
As we move towards the hot summer months, you want your HVAC Cooling System PA to be up and ready to keep you cool and fresh. This is exactly why you need to schedule a professional cleaning for the system so that the system has maximum airflow and performance.
Remove Plants And Debris Around Air Conditioner
It is crucial that you remove any plants, weeds, or debris around your air conditioning unit to maximize airflow around it. You want at least a 2-feet clearance around the system to have it working at its optimum.
If weeds or debris violate the 2-feet clearance, your air conditioning system would work harder to provide cooling in your home. This can strain the system and cost you higher energy bills.
Therefore, in order to prevent this, keep the area around your air conditioner clean and clear.
Duct Cleaning
Another area you need to keep clean is the ductwork. Over time, a lot of dirt, dust, and debris can accumulate in your ductwork. If this is left uncleaned, you and your family will be breathing in dirty and polluted air.
Therefore, schedule duct cleaning with a professional before the hot summer months begin.
Wrapping Up
In this blog, we gave you a list of areas of your HVAC system that need to be cleansed before the spring and summer months begin in full throttle.
