Summer HVAC Preparation: Ensuring Efficient Cooling All Season

Summer is almost here, and with it comes the sweltering heat that makes your HVAC system a vital part of your home. To ensure your air conditioning runs smoothly all season long, a bit of preparation can go a long way. Here’s how you can get your HVAC system ready for the summer heat and why you should consider reaching out to Complete Comfort Heating & Cooling for a professional touch on your summer HVAC preparation.

1. Change Your Air Filters

One of the simplest yet most effective steps in HVAC maintenance is regularly changing your air filters. Dirty filters can restrict airflow, making your system work harder and less efficiently. Aim to change your filters every 1-3 months, depending on usage and filter type.

2. Clean the Outdoor Unit

Over the fall and winter, your outdoor unit can accumulate debris like leaves, dirt, and twigs. This can obstruct airflow and reduce the efficiency of your system. Make sure to clear away any debris and gently hose down the unit to remove dirt buildup.

3. Check Your Thermostat

Ensure your thermostat is working correctly and consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat. This can help you better manage your home's temperature and save on energy costs by automatically adjusting settings when you’re not home.

4. Inspect and Clean Ductwork

Leaky or dirty ductwork can lead to significant energy loss and poor indoor air quality. Inspect your ducts for any visible signs of damage or buildup and consider professional cleaning to improve airflow and efficiency. All ductwork, no matter how shiny and new, has leakage. The best way to ensure it is sealed efficiently is to utilize Aeroseal technology, which is the most effective way to seal off holes of all sizes in your ductwork. 

5. Schedule Professional Maintenance

While there are several things you can do yourself, nothing beats a professional tune-up. A qualified technician from Complete Comfort Heating & Cooling can perform a thorough inspection, identify potential issues, and optimize your system for peak performance.
