Why Autumn Is the Time to Fix Home Heating and Air Issues
Your home HVAC unit is planning on working hard this winter, so make sure everything is working properly this fall. The sooner the better!
Summer is winding down and fall is upon us. For some, fall means football games and bonfires while others embrace all things pumpkin flavored. In addition to the fall fun, these next couple of months is the optimal time to maintain and fix any home heating and air issues that may have come about during the year.
If your systems are experiencing problems, don’t fret. Schedule an appointment with a professional to service your HVAC.
#1. HVAC Inspection
Technicians follow specific steps when servicing your HVAC to cover all the bases. They often follow and checklist to be sure they mark off all the right boxes. This checklist is often multifaceted and has various categories within the list—like an inspection list and a verification list.
Here is a glimpse of what’s on the inspection checklist:
- Outdoor condensing unit
- Visible refrigerant leaks
- Blower assembly and functionality
- Wire and control unit
- Safety control panel
Here is a glimpse of what’s on the verification list:
- Blower speed
- Discharge pressure
- Air pressure
- Cooling and/or heat
- Voltage levels
Lastly, it’s important to regularly clean the HVAC’s control panel and air filter to ensure system longevity and efficacy. Doing this can prolong the life of your HVAC unit.
#2. Lengthening the Lifespan
If you feel at all concerned about your HVAC unit, then invest in upgrading your system. The work and expense is always worth it. If you don’t feel like you’re ready to fully commit to an upgrade, you can schedule a regular maintenance appointment with us to be sure everything is working properly. Being sure everything is running smoothly by making various adjustments, repairs, or small replacements is just as important as an entire upgrade. The little things matter when it comes to prolonging your HVAC’s lifespan.
