Begin Maintenance Early This Spring

It’s never too early when it comes to air conditioner maintenance. It’s a vital part of the home, especially during those hot, humid months. A professional HVAC technician can easily perform spring HVAC maintenance. Many items are vital for spring maintenance, including the inspection of the AC unit, checking refrigerant levels, testing thermostats, replacing belts, air filters, and more. 

The HVAC system is one of the most important for homeowners to take care of. When an air filter gets clogged in an air conditioning unit, it can make the unit work harder and run more to make up for it. This can consume a lot of energy. A simple swap of the air filter can bring clean, fresh air into the unit. Read on to learn more helpful tips

Why Maintain the AC Unit Now?

There’s nothing more comforting than turning on an air conditioner on a hot day and having cold airflow through the home. However, for it to run at its best, it has to receive regular maintenance. But why in the spring?

Air conditioners are generally maintained in the spring because it’s when the weather begins to warm up. In tropical climates, it may already be warm, but not hot and humid. When it gets hot and humid, the air conditioner will need to be in tip-top shape to keep up with it. 

What Needs To Be Inspected & Tuned Up?

When calling for a professional to check on an AC unit, they’ll come out and do a full inspection of the AC unit in question. They’re going to inspect all components of the unit, including the evaporator, condenser, air filter, drains, and refrigerant levels. 

If they find that the filter is in rough shape, they’ll either clean it or change it completely. This is something a homeowner could do, but it might be better to call a professional. A licensed technician could also clean the condenser coil, which can have dirt and debris built upon it. When these get dirty, airflow is reduced, and they will no longer absorb heat. 

Another part of annual AC maintenance is cleaning out the condensate drain channels. If these become clogged, the unit won’t remove humidity which can lead to moisture buildup in the home. When living in a humid area, not getting away from it can be extremely uncomfortable. The extra humidity can also lead to the discoloration of furniture, walls, and can aid in the growth of mold and mildew. 

Lastly, a professional should also evaluate the electrical components of the air conditioning unit. The technician will make sure the unit is running off the proper control sequence and that both the furnace and AC unit aren’t running at the same time. 

Maintenance Benefitsletters

Having the AC unit inspected regularly has its benefits. One of them is that it provides better air quality. The technicians will remove dirt and debris that collect inside the HVAC unit. Accumulating particulate matter can make its way through the duct system and spread through the home. 

Another benefit is that it saves energy. When air conditioning units are properly maintained, the system will run properly, won’t have to work harder, and will save energy in the long run. It will also require fewer service calls and costly repairs. 

Lastly, maintenance can prolong the life of the system. In areas where summers are humid and hot, regular maintenance ensures one of the largest investments in the home is running optimally and efficiently.
