Success and failure often stem from small improvements or breakdowns rather than one catastrophic event. Compounding consistency can make or break things.
During summer, our team at the Domenech Group receives numerous calls about HVAC issues. In winter, HVAC units don’t work as hard, but come summer, they operate three to four times harder. This increased load can lead to problems if not addressed. It’s crucial to manage the little things to ensure a comfortable, cool summer instead of hot, humid nights caused by neglect.
Spring & Summer HVAC Maintenance
Your HVAC system has specific responsibilities in the warmer months. To ensure your system can handle the heat, follow these maintenance tips:
• Clean Coils and Condensers: Dirt and debris on these components can reduce efficiency.
• Replace Filters: Regularly changing filters ensures good air quality and system efficiency.
• Check the Outside Unit: Clear any debris and ensure the cabinet door is closed.
• Inspect for Leaks: Check the cabinet for any signs of leaks.
• Clear Drain Lines: Ensure proper airflow by removing any clogs.
• Check Refrigerant and Electrical Systems: Verify refrigerant levels and inspect thermostats and electrical connections.
• Inspect Ducts and Blowers: Look for dust and mold, and check the condition of blowers and blades.
Taking care of these small but essential tasks can significantly improve the efficiency and longevity of your HVAC system, ensuring comfort throughout the year.
Paying attention to the little things is cool.
