When it comes to your HVAC system, every homeowner should take the time to learn the basics.

With this in mind, we at Air Supply Heating and Air Conditioning would like to offer the essential basics every homeowner should know about the HVAC system.

HVAC Tune Up Maintenance

Schedule maintenance every 6 months by a professional. Defeating the purpose of tune-ups, is allowing too much time to pass in between services. Maintenance keeps the system operating efficiently, prevents undo damage, minimizes breakdowns, and so much more when you stay on top of maintenance. There is little else the homeowner needs to do with professional regularly scheduled routine maintenance. To prevent problems and the domino effect, with an expert checkup, the major components are inspected and if any potential issues are discovered they are promptly taken care of.

Give Central AC & Furnace at Least 2 Feet of Clearance

Ensure the appliances, both inside and outside, your furnace and air conditioner should have at least 2-3 feet of clearance from all clutter and debris. Avoid allowing any type of clutter to pile up around it and trim back the trees, weeds, grass, and bushes. In addition to causing potential damage, landscaping and clutter promotes filth and pests. Maintaining a clear area can reduce the dirt and debris, pest damage and other type of damage from occurring.

To avoid mildew and mold growth and remove and blockage, debris or especially water gets trapped in the system, smells of musty, or stuffy odors emit, you need a professional to discover the cause and get the repairs.

Change or Clean the Air Filter

The air filter is one of the most crucial pieces to the HVAC system. Trapped in the filter, the collection of the debris, dirt, dust, pollens, allergens, and contagions. The air cannot pass through the clogged filters and cause damage to the system over a short time. To make sure they are properly replaced, check the filters monthly. Ensure they are changed regardless if you know that haven’t been replaced in 2-3 months.

Insulation

For efficiency, air ducts need to be properly insulated and overtime, the insulation wears thin. In the home the air can leak, waste energy and lose temperature, resulting in the fluctuation of the temperatures. Have a professional start checking the insulation around the air ducts, attic, and the walls if you notice. You can ensure your HVAC system runs efficiently, stays in optimal condition, and it lasts to the projected lifespan, make certain you know the basics of the HVAC system and take care of the standard maintenance and recruit a professional for routine tune-ups.
