If there’s one appliance no one wants to break down in the summer, it’s the air conditioner. Whether your Bay Area HVAC system cools your home or you use a window unit, losing the AC when it’s hot and humid makes life uncomfortable. Fortunately, you can check your unit for signs of problems and maintenance issues to keep it running more efficiently and to spot problems that might need repair before it completely shuts down.
Change Your Filters
If you run your HVAC regularly, you should change the filters at least every four weeks. If you have pets or get a lot of dust in your home, you may want to check them even more frequently, like at 3-week intervals. Remind yourself to check the filters when you pay your mortgage or electric bill. The air will be fresher in your home. Your HVAC will last longer when it’s not trying to force air through a dirty filter.
Keep the Space Clear
Check the area outside around the unit to make sure it’s clear of furniture, kid’s toys, foliage, and debris. Go inside and check the vents to make sure they are open and unblocked. Your HVAC unit needs unrestricted air flow to run efficiently.
Clean Condenser Coils
The condenser coils are what cools the heated air from your home to turn it into the cooler air. The coils can get dirty. Turn off the power to your HVAC system. Spray the coils and unit with water to remove dirt.
Check the Air Ducts
If the cool air can’t flow freely through your air ducts, you won’t get your home cooled effectively. A Bay Area HVAC repair company can check and clean your ducts to ensure good airflow. You’ll have better air quality and better cooling.
Get a SMART Thermostat
With a SMART thermostat, you can control your HVAC from your phone, whether you’re home or not. You can set up timers for your heat and air to save money when you aren’t home, but also to make sure the temperature is comfortable when you do come home.
