Spring HVAC Tips to Get Your Unit Ready for Warm Weather

Although the spring season doesn't have horrendous weather, you really don't want your HVAC equipment to break down. We'd like to help you keep everything running smoothly, so we've put together a quick list of spring HVAC tips for your unit.

Schedule HVAC Maintenance

The best way to keep your HVAC equipment running properly throughout the spring season is to schedule maintenance. A certified technician will visit your home, check for any problems with the equipment, then make adjustments or repairs as needed.

Start by Cleaning the Air Filter

One of the first things you can do — which also happens to be the easiest of all the spring HVAC tips — is to clean the unit's air filter. Some systems may require replacement of the filter. If that's the case, you may want to upgrade the type of filter you use so that more contaminants are captured.

Clean All Vents and Registers

As dust moves throughout your home during the winter months, vents and registers can get clogged up. You can fix this by thoroughly vacuuming these areas. This will also allow cool air to blow more freely, thereby improving the system's efficiency and effectiveness.

Test Out the HVAC Equipment

All the spring HVAC tips in the world won't help if the equipment isn't running well. If you get a chance prior to the start of the season, turn the system on and take a look. If it's making loud noises or has an odor coming from it, call a certified HVAC technician to take care of it.

Clean Out the Home's Air Ducts

In order for your HVAC equipment to do its job properly, it needs to be able to deliver air throughout your home through its air ducts. To make sure this happens, clean out any dust and debris that you find in the duct. You also need to look for any damage that may cause air leaks.
