Tips for keeping your vents—and your air—nice and clean.
Spring HVAC Maintenance
Now that spring is here you want to make sure your HVAC system is ready for warmer weather. A few spring maintenance tips you may want to perform include:
- Replacing your dirty filter. Changing the removable filter in each of your HVAC units helps to prevent pollen and other particles that can agitate allergies from getting into your home. You may also want to consider installing an Air Scrubber to further reduce seasonal allergies and particles in your home.
- Testing and cleaning your cooling systems. Having a maintenance check and HVAC cleaning can help to increase the efficiency of how your system runs. You can also identify and fix small issues with your HVAC system before they become expensive repairs.
- Clearing your outdoor condenser. Making sure the outdoor air conditioning condenser is free of any weeds or vegetation, and that air can move freely around the unit.
Air Filters
Air filters prevent allergens, dust and particles from getting into the air in your home, and when those filters are dirty, airflow can be restricted. This is especially common during the spring and summer when seasonal pollen levels are at their highest. Changing or cleaning the filter on your HVAC system will help maximize airflow, so your system doesn’t have to work as hard to keep you comfortable.
Air filters will become dirty at various rates depending on how often the indoor fan operates, how dusty the indoor air is, number of pets, frequency that exterior doors open/close, etc. The best rule of thumb is to inspect your air filter(s) at least monthly and clean/replace them as necessary.
According to the Department of Energy, a plugged air filter can increase the energy consumption of your comfort system by 15%. Plugged filters can also result in costly system failures.
