As you may know, a properly performing heating and cooling system in the home leads to one of the most comfortable aspects of our daily lives. A cool home in the summer and a hot home in the winter feel great. But when your system suddenly stops working, the situation can become frustrating very quickly. You must learn proper maintenance for these systems; the article below can help with that.
Before making that repair phone call, make sure you know the specifics about your particular system. Know the model and brand and find it’s maintenance history, if possible. This will help you give the new contractor the necessary information.
Clean the coils of your condenser fan each month. Always shut the power off before doing any work or cleaning on the unit. Also, be sure to clear leaves and debris from your condenser unit.
Clean the fan blades and coils on the condenser fan every spring. First, turn off the power so that nothing will move as you are working on it. Then remove the grill, remove the blades and clean it from top to bottom gently.
Keep your outdoor units free of debris when you are mowing the lawn. Aim the grass clippings in the other direction. Do the same when blowing snow or leaves.
Be sure you have the HVAC unit in your home checked about two times every year. This should be done in Fall and Spring to prepare it for the extreme months. Even if you don’t think anything’s wrong, it’s still worth an inspection.
If you are a homeowner, or if you can get permission from your landlord, install double-paned windows in place of any single panes in your home. Double pane windows can help minimize how much you use your air conditioner in the summer, because they keep cool air inside the home. It keeps heat in during the winter, too.
You should now know more about your HVAC unit. Without routine maintenance, disaster is inevitable. Use the tips in this article to ensure this does not happen.
