6 Do’s to Prepare Your HVAC System Summer Ready

Before you unwrap your air conditioning system for the summer, I want your undivided attention. There are some important aspects that one should consider before tapping on HVAC heavily.

Change the air filters

Air filters are an essential component of an HVAC unit. Air filters keep your home’s air clean and breathable by eliminating allergens and dust particles. This makes it more important and cleaning and timely replacement of these must ensure the health of your family. Summers can be dustier and that causes your HVAC unit to work harder.

Before unwrapping your HVAC unit for summers, must clean your filters and if needed, change them because of exposure to dust, a dusty filter can cause serious health issues over a period of time.

Replace batteries

The easiest and hard to detect, Yes, I have come to many cases where this little nuke caused problems. The battery of thermostats must be checked after every session and replaced after two years. This is easy when you have installed a digital thermostat. Hold the screwdriver, spot the battery model, and load. You are good to go, check the display of the thermostat and make sure it’s not flickering.

Inspect ductwork

One must schedule regular inspection of ductwork and this is the job of a professional service provider to clean dust, dirt, and debris from your home’s air ducts. This helps to operate your HVAC unit at its full efficiency and prevents the accumulation of dust in your air vents around the house.

Check Pipe Insulation

The biggest drawback of torn and disintegrated insulation is that it can impact your HVAC unit’s efficiency of cooling. It’s advisable to inspect the insulation-covered coolant pipe every season change and if found any damage, change it to keep cooling efficiently. One can remove and replace the old insulation on your own.

Wiring Inspection

Want to save your HVAC unit from the electrical fire, in case of overheating or wear must check the wiring in the condensing unit and it will also help to improve the efficiency of your HVAC systems. 

Clean Outside Compressor

The condenser coils of the outside compressor play a significant role in heat absorption, and if your coils get dirty that means coils won’t able to absorb heat which results in poor performance of HVAC system. The best way is to clean the evaporator and condenser coils with the garden hose, but one must be cautious of electric connections and make sure they don’t get wet.

Remember this anything near 2 feet from the compressor unit should not be installed and any fin, grass, or old leaves cause the compressor to work less effectively that’s why timely service and taking security measures of the unit is essential.
