Summer is a time when your HVAC system is working its hardest to keep you cool and comfortable. Here are some tips to help you maintain your HVAC system during the summer months:
- Replace your air filters regularly: Dirty air filters can cause your system to work harder than necessary and reduce efficiency. Check your air filters monthly and replace them as needed, especially during the summer when your system is working harder.
- Clean your outdoor unit: The outdoor unit of your HVAC system can become clogged with debris such as dirt, leaves, and grass clippings. Clean the outdoor unit with a hose to remove any debris that has accumulated. Make sure to turn off power to the unit first.
- Keep the area around your outdoor unit clear: Ensure that the area around the outdoor unit is free from obstructions such as plants or debris. Maintain a clearance of at least 2 feet around the unit to ensure proper airflow.
- Check your thermostat: Make sure your thermostat is set to the appropriate temperature for the season. Adjust the settings according to your schedule and preferences.
- Schedule a professional maintenance check: It’s important to schedule an HVAC maintenance check with a licensed professional at least once a year. A professional technician can inspect and clean your system, identify potential problems, and ensure that your system is operating safely and efficiently.
By following these tips, you can help ensure that your HVAC system is functioning properly and efficiently during the summer months, keeping you comfortable while also reducing your energy bills.
