As summer approaches, it's crucial to prepare your HVAC system for the warmer weather to ensure it operates efficiently and keeps your home comfortable. Regular maintenance can prevent unexpected breakdowns and extend the lifespan of your system. At Napora Heating and Cooling, we emphasize the importance of proactive service to keep your system in top condition.
Your Spring HVAC Maintenance Checklist should include:
Inspect and Replace Air Filters: Check your filters every month, especially during high-use seasons. Replace them as needed to improve air quality and efficiency.
Check Thermostat Settings: Ensure your thermostat is programmed for the season. Consider upgrading to a smart thermostat for better energy management.
Inspect Electrical Connections: Check all wiring and controls for signs of wear or damage to avoid electrical hazards.
Lubricate Moving Parts: Reducing friction in motors and bearings can increase efficiency and extend the life of your system.
Inspect the Condensate Drain: Clogs in the drain can cause water damage and increase humidity levels, affecting indoor air quality.
Clean Evaporator and Condenser Coils: Dirty coils reduce the system’s ability to cool your home and can cause the system to run longer, increasing energy costs.
Check Refrigerant Levels: Proper refrigerant levels are essential for cooling. Too much or too little can make your system less efficient.
In addition to these DIY tasks, it’s beneficial to schedule a professional inspection. A certified technician can handle complex checks and repairs, such as checking your ductwork for leaks, which can significantly impact your system’s efficiency. They can also calibrate your system to ensure optimal performance throughout the summer, helping you save money on energy bills.
