3 Seasonal Tips to Maintain HVAC Systems

Like any other system, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems need seasonal maintenance to stay in tiptop shape. That includes furnaces, air conditioners and other systems. Fortunately, maintaining these systems is relatively easy with the following tips.


Check the thermostat
A programmable thermostat is an excellent way of making sure that HVAC systems cool or heat the home when they are truly necessary. When the time comes for a seasonal checkup of the thermostat, an HVAC company ought to check its program settings and see if it is cooling or heating as needed.

Inspect electrical components

All HVAC systems have electrical components and connections that need periodic inspection as well as testing. The system will not operate efficiently if any component or connection is broken, disconnected or loose. In turn, that increases the chance of equipment failure unless addressed right away.

Lubricate all moving parts

Parts of an HVAC system will undoubtedly be moved around during an inspection or cleaning. Moving these parts might increase friction, wear them out, and decrease the overall efficiency of the system. These issues are avoidable if the proper amount of lubrication is applied prior to moving any of these parts.

To be even more certain, an experienced HVAC company can perform seasonal maintenance to keep heating and cooling systems running efficiently in your home.
