The last thing you’re probably thinking about cleaning is your HVAC system. Typically, we rely on our HVAC systems for heating and cooling- not thinking about maintenance WE need to provide for it. However, cleaning your HVAC system regularly actually effects how it performs (i.e. how cool or warm your home is). Today, we’re exploring the different areas of your systems that need more attention and how that attention will, in turn, improve its efficiency!

Filter Changes

Most homeowners know to change the air filter every 3 months (or 90 days). Try not to get the cheapest brand, either, quality is important here. These filter changes make great opportunities to double check the area for anything out of the ordinary- additional debris or grime would be out of the ordinary.

Regular Maintenance and Cleaning

As the seasons change, differently allergens and debris are blown around, posing dangers for our HVAC systems and our bodies. It’s important to keep a close eye on your HVAC system during these changes, as additional debris getting stuck in the outdoor unit or extra dirt and dust build up indoors can affect the quality of air throughout your home.

Hard to Reach Places

HVAC systems are not the easiest places to clean. Those hard-to-reach places are the areas that accumulate enough dirt, dust, and other grime to spread throughout the entire house (for obvious reasons)! It’s important to focus on these areas, though, because otherwise, you’ll find yourself trying to reach through the air ducts to clean out more grime. If you’re having trouble, don’t hesitate to give the professionals a call.
