Spring is right around the corner! Before we start celebrating, it’s time to make sure your HVAC is up to the task of keeping your Hampton Roads home cool. Avoid the high cost of heat and cooling repair with HVAC preventative maintenance from Russell’s.
How To Prepare Your HVAC for Spring
Dust buildup or restrictions to airflow can cause harm to your HVAC unit if they go unnoticed. To avoid costly repair or HVAC replacement when you need it most, here are a few things to check before the warmer weather settles in.
Clear the Outdoor Unit
The outdoor condenser to your air conditioner has been outside with the elements all winter. Give it a thorough inspection to make sure it is not obstructed by landscaping or anything else that can restrict airflow. Clean the condenser coils with a proper cleaning agent to make sure they are able to operate as efficiently as possible.
Clean or Replace Air Filter
When an HVAC air filter is clogged, your system needs to work harder to maintain consistent temperatures, and clogged filters can lead to poor indoor air quality. Regularly replacing or cleaning your air filters is one of the easiest ways to extend the life of your air conditioner.
Test Run Your HVAC
Before it gets too warm outside, turn on your AC and give it a test run. Let it run a complete cycle and look for the signs that you may need HVAC repair, like;
Strange sounds or odors
Warm air coming from the vents
Frequent on/off cycling
Schedule HVAC Maintenance
Keep notes from your test run and call Russell’s for HVAC maintenance. During a precision tune-up from our team of experts, we’ll perform a comprehensive cleaning and check on your entire HVAC system to make sure it’s running efficiently.
