Cooler Days Are For A/C Maintenance

As the weather starts to cool down, you may be thinking about turning off your air conditioner and opening the doors, letting some fresh air indoors. It's also the ideal time to get your HVAC system checked and maintained after a long hot summer. First, check for any leaks or damage that may have occurred over the summer. Even small cracks can lead to big problems down the road. Second, clean the AC unit itself, including the coils and filters. This will help it run more efficiently and prevent any buildup of dirt and dust. Finally, take a look at your air ducts and make sure they're in good condition. These simple steps will help your AC unit last longer and run more efficiently - and you'll be glad you did when you don't have to deal with a broken AC unit in the middle of summer!

A professional HVAC contractor can ensure that all of these maintenance checks are thoroughly done for you. Even with our relatively mild winter's this time of year is great make sure that your system is properly prepared for those times that the heat will have to be turned on. A professional HVAC contractor can ensure that your system is ready for winter by performing a few key tasks.

First, they will check the air filter and clean or replace it if necessary.

Next, they will inspect the evaporator coil and condenser coil. If either of these coils is dirty, they will clean them using a special brush.

The contractor will also check the air handler unit and blower motor. These components should be cleaned regularly to prevent them from getting clogged with dust and debris.
