How you take care of your HVAC system can affect its lifespan. When you operate your equipment correctly and maintain it regularly, it will perform better and last longer. The new year is a great time to start good HVAC maintenance habits.
One of the area’s most trusted furnace companies shares things to include on your HVAC maintenance checklist for 2021 in this post.
Invest in regular HVAC inspections and maintenance. Preventive HVAC maintenance can help fix small issues and prevent costly repairs and replacements. With a well-maintained system, you’ll enjoy a more comfortable home and save on energy costs. Professionals will check your HVAC system for filthy evaporator or condenser coils, water leaks, frozen coils and damaged fins.
Clean your HVAC system and replace filters. You should have your HVAC system cleaned regularly to avoid serious problems and system failure. The filter of your HVAC system can hold onto dirt, dust and other contaminants. Be sure to replace the filters regularly to maintain good indoor air quality and prevent allergy or asthma attacks. Heating and air conditioning companies recommend regular filter changes because this also helps with your equipment’s performance.
Check refrigerant levels regularly. Make it a habit to check the refrigerant level, as it helps keep the air in your home cool. Insufficient refrigerant will put a strain on the compressor, which can eventually lead to system failure.
Adjust your thermostat as the season changes. During the spring and summer, set your thermostat to “cool” and then to “hot” in the fall and winter. This will keep the system from overloading and wasting energy. Make sure that the set-points of the thermostat aren’t hotter or cooler than the room and outside temperatures.
