Spring is officially here (well not really, but it sure feels like it). Business and homeowners nationwide are planning out their spring cleaning list. Other than cleaning the gutters, there’s an important chore that you should add on your upcoming spring cleaning list. Let the Orlando AC maintenance technicians at All Temp explain why you should add HVAC maintenance to your spring cleaning list and what specifically you need to do.
Check the Filters
Your AC’s efficiency is largely dependent on how clean its filters are. The dirtier the filter is, the harder it is for your AC system to breathe. This can significantly reduce the efficiency of your system, making your system work harder to provide conditioned air. This can result in premature wear on your AC unit. Filters should be replaced once every month (or two if frequently used). Although this is on our spring cleaning list, it’s vital to your AC system to change your filter monthly.
Clean the Coils
Over the past months, your air conditioner’s evaporator and condenser coil probably collected debris and grime of time. This debris can trap air flow in your system and can reduce your coils ability to absorb heat. Make sure to have your coils cleaned during this time since the upcoming months require a larger amount of AC use. It’s best to have your coils cleaned professionally by an HVAC technician since cleaning this coil can get difficult if debris has been sitting long enough.
Unclog Condensation Drains
A drain removes the humidity from your evaporator coil. If this is clogged, you may notice that your home will become a lot more humid. Another problem that may arise is the discoloration of walls and mold particles starting to arise.
Request Professional Assistance
The best way to prepare your AC system for the new season is to have it professionally maintained by an HVAC technician. These systems are not only complicated, but dangerous if handled incorrectly. These technicians are trained to deal with whatever HVAC situation that you find yourself in. This won’t only prolong the life of your AC system, but also save you a headache on future repairs.
We hope that you integrate these steps in your spring cleaning list. Keeping your HVAC system well maintained is vital for the scorching days ahead.
