Spring is here in New Jersey! Your air conditioning system will require some TLC throughout the summer months if it’s not properly cooled during the summer. We recommend that homeowners follow our five-step spring air conditioning maintenance procedure to maintain their cooling systems ready for the summer heat!
- Clean Coils and Drain Lines
Cleaning your coils and drain lines will ensure that your equipment works more effectively, ensuring that you receive the heating or cooling you require. If your pipes become worn, leak, or detach, your house will not achieve the desired temperature levels. Clean lines may also help you save money on utility bills by lowering energy use, improving indoor air quality, and increasing air flow. To keep your system in excellent operating condition, we provide coil and drain line cleanses as well as a variety of other services at an affordable price.
2. Change the Air Filter
Changing your air filter is one of the most simple things you can do to maintain your HVAC unit in top working order. Because your system has been working hard throughout the winter months, spring is an excellent time to change your air filter. When your air conditioning system is operating at full speed during the hot summer months, we recommend inspecting your air filters on a regular basis. If your filters become clogged, clean or replace them as needed. Investing in a higher-quality air filter will help it from becoming clogged too soon.
3. Clean Around the Outdoor Unit
It’s probable that you’ve collected debris around the base of the unit over the last several months. It’s critical to keep your home free of debris so that it is less prone to fire. Pollen, dirt, dust, and other particles can all cause damage to your system in the long run, thus keeping them at bay will save you money on maintenance costs as well as make your air quality better.
While preparing your yard for the season, be careful to remove your grass away from the device and maintain grass heaps away from the system while also trimming back vegetation and branches within a radius of at least 2 feet.
4. Check your Fan Blades
It’s critical to inspect your fan blades once or twice a year, whether they’re in motion or not. Look for indications of damage or wear and tear. If you notice major damage, contact a heating and cooling expert immediately.
5. Schedule HVAC Maintenance
With summer fast approaching, your HVAC expert can check for any issues that may arise when switching to cool. Getting your service now will also allow you to schedule any necessary repairs before the heat arrives.
