Properly maintaining your HVAC system is essential for keeping your home or business comfortable – no matter the season. At Aqua Plumbing & Air, we’re dedicated to helping our customers stay comfortable throughout the year with comprehensive furnace maintenance and AC maintenance services. To help you keep your system running in tip-top shape, here are some of the maintenance tasks you should regularly check:
• Clean or replace filters: Clogged air filters reduce airflow and can cause your system to work harder than necessary. Make sure to clean or replace your filters at least once a month, depending on the type of filter and how much it is used.
• Check air ducts for leaks: Inspect your air ducts for any tears or signs of wear and tear. Leaky ducts can reduce your system’s efficiency and increase your energy bills.
• Make sure vents and registers are open: If your vents or registers are blocked by furniture, window coverings, or other obstructions, your system won’t be able to do its job efficiently. Make sure to keep them clear to ensure optimal airflow.
• Check that the thermostat is working correctly: If your thermostat is not working properly, it can cause your system to turn on and off too frequently, leading to a decrease in efficiency. Make sure your thermostat reads the correct room temperature and that all the settings are correct.
• Schedule regular AC maintenance: Regular maintenance can help identify issues before they become major problems. It’s recommended that you schedule an AC maintenance appointment at least once a year.
By taking the time to do regular maintenance on your HVAC system, you can help ensure that it runs efficiently, and that you stay comfortable all year long. To learn more about our furnace maintenance and AC maintenance services, please contact us at Aqua Plumbing & Air today.
