Spring and summer are the ideal times of year to schedule HVAC maintenance for your Shoreline home or business. Here are some facts regarding HVAC care during this season and what property owners can do to optimize AC function and air quality for maximum comfort.
Air Filter Replacement
Airborne pollutants are at their peak during the spring and early summer seasons. The allergens can lead to maladies like hay fever, resulting in sneezing, a runny nose, and teary eyes. The purpose of an air filter is to intercept these particles and reduce their impact on homeowners sensitive to allergies. Ensure the filters are in good shape with a filter inspection and replace them as necessary.
Clean the Outdoor Units
Examine the outdoor HVAC unit and clear it of debris, especially dirt or leaves that may be obstructing the vents or openings. As a general rule, there shouldn’t be any foliage or branches within a three-feet radius of the unit.
Test the Thermostat
Assess the thermostat to be certain it’s optimally calibrated to minimize energy expenditure. Otherwise, the thermostat may not adequately gauge the indoor temperature. As a result, the HVAC may consume more energy than required to cool the room. We also recommend upgrading to a smart thermostat that performs automated calibrations.
Clean the Coils
The evaporator coil accumulates dust over time, rendering it less effective. It also puts the HVAC at risk of overheating. While the coil can be cleaned with a brush, the task is best left to a professional contractor altogether for best results and to avoid damage to the system’s internal components.
