Homeowners depend on their HVAC systems to keep their homes and families comfortable throughout the year. To prevent an inconvenient system malfunction or breakdown, consider scheduling an inspection this spring. Below are a few reasons why this is a necessary precaution once temperatures begin to warm.  

Why You Should Prepare Your HVAC for Spring

1. Pump Cleaner Air Through the Home

Spring is an ideal time to replace your air filter and improve your indoor air quality. This will allow cleaner, fresher air to be pumped into the home. Replacing the air filter also reduces wear and tear on your system, since it won’t have to work as hard to push air through a dirty or clogged filter.  

2. Increase Energy Efficiency

As soon as temperatures heat up, you’ll rely heavily on your air conditioner, which can cause utility costs to quickly get out of hand. When you install a programmable thermostat, you have control over when and how often the HVAC system is engaged. This leads to an improvement in overall energy efficiency for the system and would likely mean lower cooling costs for you as well. 

3. Stay on Top of Any Potential Issues

Schedule a routine maintenance inspection with an HVAC professional each spring. An HVAC technician will ensure your system is running optimally. Their comprehensive inspection will include many beneficial components, like airflow and electrical connection evaluations, safety tests, and thermostat calibration.
