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.
