As the weather warms up across the country, many homeowners are considering turning on their air conditioners and blowing cool, refreshing air into their homes for the first time this season. While this is an excellent technique to stay cool and comfortable no matter how hot it gets outside, there is one thing to keep in mind.
Maintenance is required before depending on a house AC system to properly and efficiently cool the home during summer. Not only is maintenance required, but it must be completed well ahead of the summer’s warmest days. Alayna Christensen can help you in this matter. She is from Ocean Blue Heating & Air Conditioning, LLC that is located at Denver, Colorado.
These are some reasons why you should check your HAVC systems before summer 2022:
System performance might not work properly
- When an air conditioner is turned on for the first time, it begins to show signs of wear and tear. The moving parts may break down over time, and the belts may begin to crack. Bearings in the system may need to be greased again at times.
Bad indoor air quality
- If the coils or ducts of a system are dirty, it can lead to serious air quality problems in a home. Mold can also be an issue, particularly if the humidity level rises. Any mold problems in the coils, ducts, or condensate pans can be managed with frequent, expert preventative maintenance of an HVAC system. In addition, to eliminate the mold problem, the system may require additional, in-depth cleaning treatments.
Debris needs to be removed and cleaned
- Dirt, dust, debris, and other particles will not settle in the filters of the system. They may also collect on the HVAC system’s moving parts, such as condensing units, blowers, and other essential components. While a thin layer of dust is unavoidable, allowing too much debris to accumulate can cause major harm to the HVAC system.
The condensate drain needs to be checked
- The condensate drain in an air conditioner and a heat pump must be kept clear of dirt and obstructions at all times. If clogs are present, they might hinder the flow of condensed water, resulting in moisture buildup in the system. If there is too much moisture on the property, it can lead to problems including water damage, mold, and higher-than-normal humidity levels.
Voltage and electrical connections need an inspection
- Many individuals are unaware that HVAC systems and connections can break or loosen with time. These faults may compromise the system’s overall operation, resulting in the need for an AC or furnace replacement.
Clog inside the exhaust outlet
- The exhaust outlets have the job of allowing all toxic gases to depart the property so that carbon monoxide or other gases do not build up. If the exhaust ports become clogged, a severe build-up can occur, putting a person’s safety at risk.
Having your HVAC system serviced in the spring will help you escape the frantic days of summer and ensure that you have a reliable cooling system.
