Ready for Spring: Preparation Tips for Your HVAC System

Spring is right around the corner. Many are likely planning their annual spring cleaning which usually involves sorting through one’s wardrobe or clearing out a certain room in the house that has turned into storage room. While these are important when preparing for the upcoming season, homeowners shouldn’t forget about one of the most essential home maintenance tasks: preparing your HVAC system.

 Today’s blog from heating and air conditioning repair company Comfort Zone of North Florida lists down the tasks you need to cross off your HVAC spring maintenance checklist.

Clean Air Filters

Ideally, air filters should be replaced every three months, or every time the season changes. However, if you’ve just recently replaced your filters, you still have to make sure that they are clean once allergy season rolls around. This way, your air filters can effectively prevent pollen, dust particles, and other allergens from entering your home.

Reset Smart Thermostats

Now that the weather is getting a little warmer, it’s time to turn the heat down a little. This is also the ideal time to reprogram your smart thermostat to better suit the season. After all, you don’t want your thermostat to heat your home as if it were winter. Call your HVAC contractor if your thermostat is having issues recalibrating.

Check Outdoor Unit

Make sure that your HVAC system’s outdoor unit is also getting some much-needed maintenance. Check for overgrown foliage, trash, and other debris that may have found their way to the outdoor unit over the winter. The surrounding area should also be kept free of any blockage to ensure that the HVAC unit remains efficient.
