Even with the crazy ups and downs in the temperature a functioning heater is vital to your family’s comfort. It is best to keep the HVAC maintenance up to date to avoid the sudden need for furnace repair. We have a few tips to help you keep your unit in tip top shape.
Conduct an Annual Maintenance
The best way to keep your HVAC system in full working system is to stay on top of maintenance. It is best to call in the experts and have a checkup conducted before the season starts. This means for your air conditioner call your HVAC company in the late winter. To avoid furnace repair, call the technician in late summer. They will conduct a full inspection, spot problems before they get out of hand, clean and lubricate parts, remove gunk, dust, and build up, and change filters. This will not only keep your your heater and AC in tip top shape, but it will also increase the longevity of the units.
Know the Warning Signs
It is best to spot upcoming AC and furnace repairs before they get out of hand. Knowing the warning signs can be a big help. First of all, when it comes to your heater, there are few things you can look out for. A big warning sign of possible breakdown is your vents blowing out cold air. Musty or burnt smells coming from the vents is another bad sign. Another clear indicator of needed maintenance is the system cycling too often.
As for your AC, there are signs to look for as well. If the air flow coming from the vents is too weak or not cold you should definitely call for a check up. Another clear indication of needed repairs is loud noises coming from the vents or the unit itself.
