To ensure your HVAC system is running properly, you should schedule a maintenance service by a professional HVAC contractor, like us at Cooley's Comfort. Regular HVAC preventative maintenance service will not only increase the longevity of your AC and heating system, but it also ensures the smooth operation and pristine performance to manufacture specs. Scheduling a pre-season maintenance and Spring AC tune-up service is essential as this will prevent any type of HVAC system failures during severe hot or cold weather and will also help reduce your utility bills.
Inspect, Clean, or Change Air Filters Once a Month
Change the filters often in your central air conditioner, furnace, and/or heat pump. A dirty filter can increase energy costs and damage your equipment, leading to early failure.
Schedule Seasonal HVAC Maintenance
Have annual HVAC system maintenance scheduled one to two months before the summer season begins. Research shows that keeping your heating and air conditioning system clean and running efficiently can save you over 30% on your heating and cooling costs.
Clear the area around your HVAC system
Keep the condensing unit free of debris. Trim shrubs and plants near your air conditioning unit to ensure proper air flow and circulation. Most manufacturers recommend 24” around the condenser.
Clean Evaporator and Condenser Coils (once or twice a year)
The U.S. Department of Energy says that “a dirty condenser coil can increase energy consumption by 30%."
Maximize Air Flow
To maximize airflow, have Cooley’s Comfort perform a static pressure test to see how much air is actually going through the system.
Install a Programmable Thermostat
Programmable thermostats can be set to change the temperature while you’re away or sleeping and can decrease your energy bill by at least 10%
