Get Your HVAC System Ready for Spring | Air Comfort HVAC

Spring has sprung–is your HVAC system ready? Air Comfort has four vital tasks every homeowner should complete to make sure their AC is ready to go.

Outdoor Maintenance
Here’s an easy-to-overlook first step. Get outside and trim away the grass, weeds and brush from all around your outside condenser unit. Rinse off the condenser with a garden hose to remove further dust and debris that may have built up over the past few months.

Replace the Air Filter
We say this all the time and can’t stress it enough. You must routinely replace your air filter to both protect your indoor air quality and also avoid unnecessary strain on your system. If you’re not sure which air filter is the best for your system and household, your Air Comfort expert can advise you.

Clean the Registers
It’s not hard to see why these are such a problem. HVAC vents and registers typically accumulate a thick layer of dust in very little time. You can routinely dust or vacuuming the air vents in your home. But if you see a buildup of dust, it’s probably time for a comprehensive duct cleaning service to make sure you breathe in healthier indoor air.

Check the Thermostat
Another vital aspect of your spring checkup is making sure the brains of your AC system is fully functioning. And if you’re still running a manual thermostat, it’s likely time to think about upgrading to a programmable model. Programmable thermostats give you greater control and can often save energy–and therefore, money.

Consider the four tasks above as some non-negotiable pieces of home ownership. Your next step is to call Air Comfort for your spring tune-up. We offer full maintenance, repair and replacement services to keep your home cool and comfortable as summer approaches. Visit our website today to learn more!
