Schedule Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is a good way to avoid costly repairs to your HVAC. You can schedule a service call with Mainstream Heating and Cooling to have your system checked.
The service technician will check the air filter and replace it if necessary. They will also look at hoses and belts to see if they look worn. The technician will inspect the thermostat to see that it’s working correctly. They will also test the refrigerant and add some if needed.
You can schedule service in the spring and fall before switching from heating to cooling or cooling to heat. When you have your system checked periodically, it reduces the likelihood that the unit will break down during the hottest or coldest days of the season.
Perform Preventive Tasks
It’s best to call professional HVAC services like Mainstream Heating and Cooling for regular service, but you can also take some steps to maintain your system.
Keep the area around your outside air conditioning unit free from bushes, weeds, and tall grass. When the system is surrounded by landscaping, it must work harder to cool your house. Air doesn’t get to the system as easily, and the plants keep heat in.
Keep the exterior of the unit clean. Remove leaves and tree limbs that fall on the system to prevent clogs and other damage. Keep boxes and other items away from the inside unit. Don’t block the return air vent with furniture. While these steps won’t take care of your HVAC completely, they can help your unit to work more efficiently and last longer.
Schedule Repairs at the First Sign of Issues
Don’t wait until your system stops working completely to call for service. At the first sign of a problem, schedule a service call. Your system may not be heating or cooling as well as it should, or you may notice a noise coming from the unit.
If you delay service, it could lead to more extensive damage. Replacing an HVAC unit can cost a lot, but regular service can extend the life of your system and reduce the need for more costly repairs.
