Getting Your HVAC System Ready for Spring

The latest in spring fashion being put on display in store windows signals that spring is arriving. While you may also be readying your spring getup and storing your winter outfits away, don't forget that your HVAC needs to get ready for the flower season too. Below are some suggestions on getting your HVAC spring ready:




Check your filters
Your HVAC needs clean filters to ensure good air quality. Inspect your filters, and have them replaced or changed as necessary. Remember, spring is also the season of hay fever, and you certainly will not want to aggravate seasonal allergic rhinitis with dirty, clogged filters.


Install a programmable thermostat (if you haven't already)
Spring means that summer can't be far behind, so you will be relying more and more on your HVAC system to keep indoor temperatures comfy as outdoor temperatures rise. Some tend to leave their cooling systems on even while they’re away to avoid coming home to a warmed-up house. Instead of wasting precious energy by doing this, you can have a programmable thermostat installed so the temperatures are adjusted automatically to your preferred schedule.

Clear HVAC units of debris
If your air conditioning systems or heat pumps are located outside the house, you are likely to see leaves, twigs, and other debris gather on the top and sides of the equipment. Such debris can obstruct how your units perform so ensure that you keep nature's elements out of them.
