Keeping Your HVAC System Clean and Functional in the Texas Heat

When it comes to cleaning and maintaining your HVAC System, it’s always best to forgo your DIY tendencies, and just call in the professionals! A professional cleaning and restoration company can come out and make sure everything is in working order. A clean HVAC system means a clean, healthy environment for your building. And as the summer heats up and we approach the worst of it, it’s a great time to give your system a check up and make sure everything is going smoothly! Following a cleaning and maintenance plan not only helps to prolong the lifespan of your system, but it also increases its efficiency!

Here are a few steps to take to keep your HVAC system clean and functional this summer: 

Buy a Better Filter, and Replace it Every 90 Days

Once you’ve chosen the latest filter on the market, be sure to inspect it every three months for debris and issues. If you have pets, you may expect to have to check it on a monthly basis. Change the filter if it becomes dark and clogged!

Inspect Insulation Every Month

Inspect insulation every month, and make sure to replace anything that is missing, or broken. 

Give the Filter Enough Clearance

Make sure the outdoor units and heat pumps have at least two feet of clearance around themselves. They’ll need enough space to keep away from twigs, branches, leaves, and other debris. 

Remove Debris

Throughout the season, be sure to remove debris such as leaves, pollen, and twigs from around the outdoor unit, and try not to allow the lawnmower to blow grass into the unit, either.
