Creating and performing a checklist to maintain your HVAC equipment will keep your systems running smoothly all year round and prevent costly repairs in the future. Comfort Tech Heating and Air Conditioning knows what you need to check to make sure your systems are in top shape. 

What You Should Have on Your HVAC Checklist

1. Remove Dirt & Debris

Indoor air conditioning units have an evaporator coil and outdoor units have a condenser coil. If these become filled with dirt, your system’s energy efficiency will decrease, won’t circulate air properly, and shorten the life span of your units. That’s why regularly removing dirt and debris from your coils is essential to maintaining your systems.

2. Check for Gas Leakage

HVACGas leakage can be one of the most dangerous threats from your heating unit; however, leaks can often be hard to detect. As a preventative measure, make sure to install a carbon monoxide detector in your home. You should also have a professional regularly check your system.

3. Replace Air Filters

If your HVAC system is working hard to circulate air with old filters, you will see your air flow reduce while your energy bills rise. Homeowners should have their air filters replaced once a month, particularly if you have pets, a family member with allergies, or use your unit all year round. In addition to replacing the filters, an annual checkup by a professional is recommended to inspect your belts, coils, fans, and ductwork. This ensures the efficient running of your system and increases its life span.
