As a business owner, you can’t afford to have your HVAC system fail in the middle of a heatwave. To avoid this costly situation, prepare your unit in the spring, so it can operate efficiently when you need it most. To start, follow these tips.

How to Get Your HVAC Ready for Spring

1. Clean It

Throughout the winter, your HVAC equipment can accumulate a lot of dirt, dust, and debris from the environment. This can clog your unit, forcing it to work harder than it needs to and potentially causing it to break down. Ideally, you’ll want to focus on the outdoor condensers, indoor equipment, and the air ducts for the best results.

2. Refresh Your Thermostat

If you’re concerned about energy efficiency, upgrading to a new thermostat can be a smart decision. In particular, a programmable thermostat will give you better control over cooling your facility and cut down your monthly energy bills. Since spring weather can be unpredictable, a programmed thermostat also offers you additional flexibility, as you won’t waste energy on unnecessary cooling.

3. Schedule a Pre-Season Tune-Up

While DIY methods can help, your best bet is to have a professional HVAC tune-up before spring begins. A contractor will thoroughly examine your system and make sure everything is running efficiently. This may involve lubricating parts, testing sensors and valves, checking refrigerant levels, examining for leaks, and sealing leaks to balance airflow.
