With summer approaching, now\u2019s the time to ensure your HVAC unit is ready to take on the heat and humidity we know well in the DMV area.<\/p>\r\n
Here are a few steps you can take in the spring to make sure your air conditioner is prepared to keep your home cool and comfortable:<\/p>\r\n
One of the easiest tasks you can complete is replacing your air conditioner\u2019s air filter. Your HVAC system has to work harder when the filter is obstructed by dust, dirt, and debris.<\/p>\r\n
Not only is it important to replace this filter at the start of the cooling season, but you should replace your air filter every three months for optimal performance and reduced system wear and tear.<\/p>\r\n
The outdoor portion of your air conditioner contains the all-important compressor. Since it\u2019s outside, things like branches, twigs, leaves, and pine straws can block the compressor.<\/p>\r\n
Before you turn on your air conditioner for the first time, remove any debris in and around the outdoor unit.<\/p>\r\n
Air leaks reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system because conditioned air is lost, which contributes to a less comfortable home and drives you to lower the thermostat.<\/p>\r\n
To address this, check your doors, windows, and ductwork for leaks. Consider upgrading old windows and doors for a more efficient option, or seal them with weatherstripping. For leaky ductwork, you need professional ductwork repair.<\/p>\r\n
