As winter weather subsides, now’s the time to get your HVAC ready for spring. Checking it now ensures smooth operation, keeps you comfortable, and helps lower energy bills. This guide will show you how to keep your home cool during the warmer weather ahead.
Replace Your Air Filters
At the start of spring, check and replace your air filters. A clean filter improves indoor air quality and helps your heating and cooling systems run more efficiently.
Clean Around Outdoor Units
When you begin spring cleaning, don’t neglect the area around your outdoor HVAC units. Winter might leave leaves and debris around them. Clear these away so your system can pull air more efficiently and keep your home comfortable.
Test and Monitor Your Thermostat
Test your thermostat so it works when you switch from heating to cooling. Most people set the temperature in their homes between 72°F and 78°F. This temperature range is comfortable, convenient, and ideal for unpredictable spring weather. You can also install a programmable thermostat for better control and potential savings.
Listen for Unusual Noises
When you first start your system, listen for unusual noises like grinding, banging, or whistling. Strange sounds indicate an immediate problem that, if ignored, can worsen. Scheduling immediate repairs lessens the risk of a costly replacement later on.
Replace Broken Systems
Spring is the perfect time to replace old and inefficient HVAC systems before you face the summer heat. Newer systems are more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and provide years of reliable performance.
Seal Leaks in Windows and Doors
Check for and seal any leaks in windows and doors. You keep cool air in and reduce the stress on your HVAC system.
Schedule Spring Maintenance
HVAC maintenance helps lessen the chance of future breakdowns. Professional technicians can catch unexpected issues and fix them before they worsen. They’ll check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical components, and ensure your system is in top shape.
