( Newswire.net - February 7, 2021) - An expensive component of your home is your HVAC system. If you are like most homeowners, you want to do everything possible to extend the life of your system. While there are many ways you can do this, we have six general skin care tips to incorporate into your HVAC routine.
Change the air filters regularly.
The air filter in your HVAC system is an essential part of ensuring that the air in your home is free of allergens and harmful residues. It also helps keep those nasty particles out of your HVAC system. The air filters eventually become clogged and must be replaced.
If you loosen the filter without replacing it, your HVAC system will have to work harder to push the air through the filter, which will be distributed around your home. This causes unnecessary wear and tear on your HVAC system. Try to replace your filter every three months.
Schedule regular maintenance
Your HVAC system should have regular maintenance checks throughout the year. As a rule of thumb, you need to have your heating checked in the fall and your air conditioning checked in the spring. Your maintenance professionals will look for worn and damaged system components. They also lubricate all moving parts to keep your system running at its best. Regular maintenance allows you to replace worn parts before they damage other components in your system.
Solve problems early
If your HVAC system makes a strange noise it needs to be checked. You don't want to fix this problem just because your system is still working. This could lead to more expensive damage over time. As a rule of thumb, strange noises, strange smells, or poor performance issues should be checked by a professional within a reasonable time.
Do not keep the ventilation slots closed
One big mistake homeowners make is closing the air vents in rooms they don't use. For whatever reason, they believe that the rooms they use regularly still have heating or air conditioning. The truth is, closing the vents will only make your HVAC system work harder. In fact, this increases the air pressure in the ducts. Over time, the pressure can cause your ducts to crack or tear.
Get an annual sewer cleaning
You should ask your HVAC professional to clean your pipes regularly. This will help remove dust, dirt, mold, and other debris that may be in your ducts. It will also help to significantly improve the air quality in your home. During the cleaning process, your HVAC professional should be able to detect major leaks in your system so you can fix them.
Clean your outdoor unit
Every HVAC system has an outdoor condenser. You can usually find it on the side of your house on a concrete slab. It is important to clean this device regularly. External elements and wind can cause dirt to build up on the condenser screen. Leaves are one of the most common problems. If they block the air damper on the device, it will impede air flow. This will reduce the efficiency of your system and could cause damage.
Caring for your HVAC system requires routine maintenance. Here are six main tasks you will want to do to make sure your HVAC system stays in place for a while. Remember, the small amount of time you invest over its lifetime saves you a bundle so that you don't have to replace your HVAC system prematurely.
