HVAC systems are not only necessary to keep you warm and toasty in the winter, but to keep your home cool in spring and summer.

here is some HVAC maintenance that needs to be done to prepare for the warmer weather. Before the warmer weather arrives, however, it91Ƶs time for some essential preventive maintenance.

91ƵThere are several things we can do to ensure your system is running efficiently, and able to keep your house cool and comfortable when the weather changes,91Ƶ says Vern Milani, President of .

Clean air ducts

One of the first things you should do is to clean the air ducts in your system. This will ensure nothing will impact the flow of air from your HVAC unit.

91ƵThis is done by blocking off vents and sucking out dust and debris with a powerful vacuum unit,91Ƶ Milani says. 91ƵNot only does it make sure the ducts are clear, it makes sure there is no mould, mildew, fungi or any other substance in your ducts that could travel throughout your home.91Ƶ

Safety inspection

An HVAC system has many metal components and during winter, they may have developed cracks or holes.

91ƵYou may notice your system losing power and efficiency,91Ƶ Milani says. 91ƵIt91Ƶs a closed system with refrigerant in it, and because it91Ƶs under pressure, normal wear and tear can cause leaks. We91Ƶll do a full analysis of your system to see where the issue is.91Ƶ

Change Filters

Another important aspect of spring maintenance is . Not only does it improve the air quality in your home, it ensures your system is not overworked.

91ƵDuctless split systems have built in filters that you just need to clean,91Ƶ Milani says. 91ƵOther than that, filters should be changed at least once a year.91Ƶ

Check outdoor system

Branches, leaves, and other outdoor debris can find their way into your system. Cleaning your outdoor HVAC will prevent expensive repairs in the future.

91ƵBuildup of debris can cause system inefficiency,91Ƶ Milani says. 91ƵCondensation can also build up in your system, so you may want to sanitize as well to prevent mould and smells making their way indoors.91Ƶ

Milani91Ƶs advice if your system is getting older?

91ƵIf your system is 10 to 15 years old, you may want to replace it, rather than continuing to pay for repairs,91Ƶ he says. 91ƵWhatever the case, it91Ƶs good to get it checked early 91Ƶ especially for businesses who rely on their air conditioning!91Ƶ
