Summer works your AC like nothing else, and winter is taxing on your heater. Spring is the perfect downtime where it’s not too warm and not too cool. You can call for maintenance and not be worried even if it’s a little busy right now.
Spring HVAC maintenance in Phoenixville, PA helps prepare you for next summer and winter. While maintenance should be annual and once per year, when you get it matters. Let’s talk about why spring is the best season to get HVAC maintenance.
The biggest piece of advice that we can give to any homeowner about their HVAC system is to regularly change its filter. It’s an easy step to do, but also an easy one for people to forget. It might seem like it isn’t a serious problem to leave the filter in place for a few more months, but clogged and dirty air filters are the source of numerous HVAC problems that are otherwise easy to avoid.
When you schedule any maintenance tune-up with our technicians (heating or air conditioning), they’ll change out the filter as part of the service. They can show you where the filter is located and how to change it—it’s easy, trust us! You will need to do the changes yourself until the next maintenance appointment. We recommend checking the filter monthly to see if it’s fully congested. The filter will need to be changed every 1 to 3 months.
Each summer, your air conditioning system takes on a heavy burden: keeping your house and family comfortably cool through the heat. It’s easy to take an air conditioning system for granted—a utility that’s always there when you need it—but age and wear eventually overtake any AC. Even the best maintenance won’t keep an air conditioner running forever.
Now that summer is ending, we recommend you take stock of your air conditioning system’s performance over the season. Think about how well it cooled the house, how dependable it was, if it needed repairs or other services, how much it cost to run, its age, etc. Take all this information, and then give your air conditioner a grade on the standard “A through F” scale you remember from school. Then check our reference guide below.
How often does the air conditioning system in your house run during the summer? The answer is probably somewhere between “a lot” to “all the time.” The AC draws on a large amount of electricity to run, and you expect to see your utility bills rise during this period.
But you don’t necessarily have to see it rise a lot. Below we’ve listed some helpful tips for keeping your air conditioner working at its most energy-efficient this hot season.
As your air conditioner starts to get to work during the spring and into the summer, it’s a good idea to watch carefully for indications the AC is working right or is building up to a larger malfunction. The best way to ensure your air conditioner won’t run into problems during the early season or through the rest of the year is to schedule regular professional HVAC maintenance. You can sign up for our maintenance plan to schedule this service if you haven’t done so already.
