As the outdoor weather gets warmer, the spring season is perfect for adjusting your HVAC settings from heating to cooling. Pre-season HVAC maintenance is the most important step to prepare your system for the upcoming spring. Here are necessary pre-season maintenance tips for your Washington, PA, home.
1. Replace the Air Filter
The condition of the air filter bears a direct impact on the general HVAC system efficiency. Essentially, the filters work hard throughout the year to wipe out debris within the blower fan.
Additionally, the filters clear airborne pathogens and pollutants within your indoor space. Accumulation of airborne contaminants in the air filter significantly dwindles your house’s air quality. It’s wise if you contact an HVAC specialist to replace the furnace filters before the warm spring arrives.
2. Ductwork Inspection
Professional air duct inspection and testing identify microbial growth traces, pollen, toxins, and debris within the internal ductwork surface. As these substances amass inside the ductwork, the HVAC system’s efficiency subsequently goes down.
Dust and debris collection in the air ducts leave you at a greater risk of allergic diseases. In severe instances, debris accumulation poses serious fire hazards.
Professional ductwork cleaning can help to significantly boost the circulation of cool air within your house. Moreover, air duct cleaning restores your system’s peak efficiency, cutting down your energy consumption.
3. Schedule Annual Spring Maintenance Service Visits
Professional maintenance services before spring check for faults in your HVAC system. Your local technician will inspect the refrigerant levels and check for broken seals and cracks. Additionally, professional inspection reveals damaged or worn-out HVAC components that need replacement.
An HVAC expert will also help determine the appropriate thermostat setting for the warm spring. Pre-spring maintenance assures high HVAC system efficiency and overall safety all through the season.
