You know the old song: “Spring is sprung / The grass is riz / I wonder how my HVAC is.”
(We might be misremembering a few lyrics)
With warm weather on the way, there are a handful of ways to make sure your system is ready for spring.
5 Essential Steps to Prep Your HVAC for Spring
- Replace or Clean the Air Filter
Cleaning and replacing the filter helps ensure that your indoor air quality is in tip-top shape.
- Inspect the Ductwork
Over time, dust and debris can accumulate in your ducts. A little spring cleaning can maximize your airflow.
- Clean the Coils
Left on their own, dirty coils can not only decrease efficiency but even cause system failure.
A soft brush or even compressed air can gently remove dirt and keep the coils sparkling.
- Check Refrigerant Levels
Taking a quick glance at refrigerant levels can save you a world of pain later.
Additionally, weak airflow can be a sign that your levels are low or you have a leak.
- Test the Thermostat
With the temperature swing, it’s a good idea to make sure your thermostat is accurate.
If you notice erratic behavior, you might need recalibration or possibly a replacement.
