HVAC Spring Maintenance Checklist
As spring blooms and temperatures rise, it’s time to prepare your HVAC system for the seasonal transition. Early spring is the perfect opportunity to perform essential maintenance tasks to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
Here are some tips from ECI to freshen up your HVAC system and improve indoor air quality this spring.
Clean and Replace Air Filters: Clean filters promote better airflow and help trap dust, pollen, and other airborne particles, improving indoor air quality. If you use disposable filters, change them out. If you use reusable filters, clean them gently with water.
Check and Clean Air Vents: Inspect air vents throughout your home to ensure they are clean and unobstructed. Vacuum away dust and debris. Consider professional duct cleaning if vents appear dirty or clogged. Clearing vents enhances airflow and distribution of conditioned air.
Schedule HVAC Maintenance: Schedule your annual HVAC maintenance. HVAC technicians can identify and address issues such as refrigerant leaks, duct leaks, and worn-out components to ensure efficient operation and prevent breakdowns for the upcoming season.
Program Your Thermostat: Adjust your thermostat settings for the changing season to optimize energy efficiency and comfort. Program your thermostat to reduce energy usage while you’re away and maintain comfortable temperatures when you’re home. Consider investing in a programmable or smart thermostat for added convenience and energy savings.
Enhance Indoor Air Quality: Take steps to improve indoor air quality by minimizing indoor pollutants and enhancing ventilation. Consider investing in air purifiers, purchasing indoor plants to naturally filter the air such as Peace Lilies or Spider Plants.
By following these spring HVAC maintenance and indoor air quality tips, you can ensure your HVAC system operates efficiently and your indoor air quality remains fresh and healthy throughout the season.
