Simple, basic HVAC maintenance tips to get the most out of your heating & cooling system
#1 Replace Air Filter
Our experts at IndyHCS recommend to change your filters every 3-4 months, depending upon your living situation. The more people and pets in the house, the more frequently you want to change your filters. But at the very least, you should be checking your filters every 3-4 months to check the condition.
#2 Don't Forget To Dust
Hey, we aren't your mom. So what if you haven't dusted in a while? Keeping vents and registers clear of dust and debris will help your HVAC unit keep the air in your home cleaner. By dusting regularly, you are putting less pressure on your air filters. They already capture particles in the air that you can't see but if they are full of dust then they won't be able to do their job properly! This is especially true if you have pets in the home.
Try to get a good understanding of which noises are normal and which can be problematic. Our experts at IndyHCS would be happy to help you decipher these noises. Keeping a note of the noises your unit makes could help save you a bunch of money! Catching problems early will not only save you money, but it will save you the headache of being stuck without heat/cool-air!
Removing sticks, leaves, and other debris away from your outdoor unit will help prevent potential damage. While the unit is made to endure various weather conditions, you can increase the life of your unit by decreasing the amount of extra work it takes to run. A dirty unit makes for a hard working unit, and we don't want that.
