\nIf you\u2019re currently in spring cleaning mode around your home, don\u2019t forget about your HVAC system. Spending a bit of time and money now, will pay big dividends on your monthly utility bills while improving your home\u2019s comfort all year long. These five tips will help keep everything running properly, even during the hottest days of spring and summer.<\/p>\n
If your filter is clogged, it can restrict air flow. Your air filter is one of the most important HVAC components and should be changed at least monthly from April to September.<\/p>\n
The external evaporator coil needs to be cleaned to work efficiently. A dirty or clogged coil results in reduced indoor air flow. This causes inefficient cooling which may be the reason your home seems to take forever to cool down. A dirty coil impacts other HVAC components leading to potential component damage and system malfunction.<\/p>\n
A clogged condensate drain pipe will cause your AC drain pan to overflow. Drain lines can be blocked by rust, dirt, algae, and other debris. The condensate drain line is critical to the proper functioning of your HVAC system. The drain line’s most important function is to drain excess moisture outside of your home. When air is cooled inside your AC system, humidity is released. The humidity turns into condensation and the condensate line keeps moisture from building up inside your home and HVAC unit. Moisture can lead to mold, mildew, and corrosion. Check the drain line located near the outdoor condenser unit and make sure it\u2019s not restricted by vegetation or blocked by dirt or debris.<\/p>\n
Check your outdoor HVAC unit to make certain it\u2019s not blocked by leaves, grass clippings, gravel, or sticks. Clear the top and sides from excess debris and clear a three-foot radius around the unit to ensure nothing is blocking air flow.<\/p>\n
Some HVAC spring cleaning tasks can be easily done by you or a family member, and others require the assistance of a skilled HVAC technician.
