If you want to maintain your home temperature at a comfortable level, you need a well-maintained HVAC system. After all, if you continue to switch between the air conditioner and furnace, it will put excessive pressure on the system.

Therefore, if you want to avoid these problems, we suggest that you follow some preventive measures, such as regular maintenance. So, if you want to maintain your heating and cooling system to prevent costly repairs down the line, check out these HVAC maintenance tips below.

Prevent Costly Repairs with These HVAC Maintenance Tips

Check the Filters

If you ignore the air filters inside your HVAC system, they will accumulate dust and dirt with the passage of time. As a result, dirty air filters can reduce the efficiency of the HVAC system. Apart from this, the dirty filters of your AC may freeze and cause water damage.

Apart from this, if the filters are reusable, you can pull out the tray and clean the filters using soapy water and a clean piece of clothing. On the other hand, if their filters cannot be reused, you have no option but to change them after one to three months.

Clean the Heat Pump

As time goes by, your HVAC unit may accumulate a lot of dirt and dust. In this condition, your HVAC system may take much longer to maintain the optimal temperature inside your home.

On the other hand, if you clean the system on a regular basis, it will make the system work more efficiently. Besides, it may also help you save a lot of money on your utility bills. So, you may want to let a professional inspect the system and clean both the outdoor unit and the heat pumps for you.

Often, when the weather changes, HVAC systems, especially the outdoor units may get clogged with leaves, pollen, twigs, etc. Therefore, cleaning the outdoor unit and the heat pump is a must, especially at the beginning of a season.

Go for a Tune-Up

You can also hire the services of a professional to schedule a tune-up of your HVAC system. The technician will inspect the system to make sure it delivers optimal performance. During this multi-point inspection, they will examine the following areas and components of your HVAC system:

  • Drain lines
  • Heat exchanger
  • Fan
  • Refrigerant level
  • Coils
  • Air filters

Besides, you can schedule a tune-up annually to ensure the HVAC remains in fine condition. Regular maintenance can save you hundreds of dollars down the line.

Clean the Drain Lines and Vents

Over time, dust, dirt, and moisture can accumulate inside the drain lines. As a result, the drain lines can get locked and may become a breeding ground for mold and algae.

Therefore, it makes sense to have the drain lines cleaned from time to time using a solution of water and vinegar to remove the accumulated mold.

Cleaning the vents of your HVAC system is essential. These vents should be free of dust and dirt to make sure there is no obstruction in the airflow. Apart from this, the vents should not be blocked with your household items, such as furniture.

You should check the airflow and hire a technician if you feel that there are problems in maintaining the temperature of the system.

Control the Thermostat

Controlling the thermostat is essential if you don’t want to pay high utility bills. If the thermostat of the unit is set to high but the temperature inside your house is still low, chances are that the thermostat is not working properly.

To resolve this problem, you can install a programmable thermostat in place of the manual one. The advantage of a programmable thermostat is that it can be adjusted to cover your needs.

For example, you can use the thermostat to reduce the temperature before going to bed. This is how the thermostat will automatically adjust the temperature based on the settings you have configured.

In short, if you follow these HVAC maintenance tips, you can save money on costly repairs down the line. Therefore, you should hire the services of a professional service provider like Home Saving Inc to ensure there is nothing wrong with your heating and cooling systems.
