When making your list of all of the necessary spring cleaning tasks, like cleaning your windows and scrubbing down your bathroom, one thing you shouldn’t forget is your HVAC system. Scheduling an annual spring cleaning and tune-up is key for ensuring your HVAC system cools effectively. Routine maintenance is especially important if your system is under warranty. Read the terms of the manufacturer’s warranty, and you’ll likely see that seasonal maintenance and inspections are required for you to be able to file a warranty claim for future AC repairs or replacements.
Eliminating Allergens and Improving Indoor Air Quality
One important part of a spring HVAC tune-up is cleaning certain indoor components, like the blower and the evaporator coil. Dust and other allergens, like pet dander, pollen, and mold spores, tend to collect inside HVAC equipment. When you start running your air conditioning, all of these allergens can then spread around the house and create major issues for anyone with allergies or asthma.
Having your HVAC system cleaned and serviced before you turn your AC on helps prevent this from happening so that everyone in your household can breathe more easily. If you haven’t had a professional clean your ductwork in the past year or two, it’s a good idea to add this to your spring cleaning checklist as well. Dirty ductwork is often one of the biggest culprits responsible for poor indoor air quality.
Avoiding Unnecessary Expenses
Seasonal HVAC maintenance is always worth the price, as it will usually end up saving you money in the long run. Maintenance makes a major difference in avoiding future repairs. It also helps HVAC equipment last as long as possible. Neglected HVAC systems almost always require more repairs.
Maintenance involves a range of essential tasks, such as lubricating moving parts, checking the bearings in the system’s motors, tightening any loose connections, and more. If these tasks aren’t performed each spring, the system can need a more expensive repair. Even worse, if something like the compressor fails, you will require a full system replacement.
You’ll also save on energy costs with a spring tune-up as maintenance can greatly boost an HVAC system’s performance. The more effectively your air conditioning cools, the less it will need to run and the less electricity it will use.
Preparedness and Preventing Summer Breakdowns
You typically don’t need to rely on your air conditioning all that much during the spring months, but it won’t be long before you do. A spring tune-up is the best way to make sure your air conditioning system is ready for the increased workload and can effectively meet your needs without the risk of breaking down.
Preventative maintenance and inspections can alert you to potential problems and malfunctioning components that could cause your AC to suddenly quit working. Getting these issues resolved will help ensure your HVAC system is up to the task and ready to perform effectively throughout the long, hot summer months. Failing to do so will often result in you having to sweat through the heat as a result of a total system breakdown. Summer is also the busiest time for HVAC companies, meaning you may have to wait at least a few days before you can get the issue repaired or your system replaced. Thankfully, we have an HVAC Service Agreement that makes it effortless to schedule tune-ups and has perks like discounts and priority service as well.
