Why You Should Get an AC Check Before Summer
Your cooling system is crucial to protecting your home and keeping you comfortable on hot days. With summer just around the corner, now is the perfect time to have it inspected, preventing potential issues when you need it most. Here’s why having an AC check is so important and what to expect when an HVAC contractor arrives.
Why Get Your AC Inspected in Spring?
During the winter, dust, dirt, mold, and dander will build up on your HVAC components and circulate through the air, causing allergies and respiratory issues, such as asthma. During an AC inspection, the contractor will clean the entire system, improving your air quality.
HVAC systems are an investment, and replacing one early can eat into your yearly budget. Having an AC check will ensure the components stay clean and in good shape, extending the system life span. Finally, when the air conditioner is dust-free and working optimally, the system will be more energy-efficient, saving you money on your utility bills and preventing hot summer days from putting a dent in your wallet.
What Happens During an AC Inspection?
In addition to changing the filters and cleaning the various components, an HVAC contractor will go through an extensive checklist, analyzing the various parts and making minor fixes. For example, they’ll check the motors to ensure they’re dust-free and lubricated. This will prevent burnout and increase the effectiveness of the compressor and fans.
Next, they’ll examine the blower components, which move air through the coils and into the ductwork. The contractor will remove dust, make sure the blower starts properly, and check for overheating. Finally, they’ll make sure the thermostat isn’t miscalibrated, which will prevent unnecessary energy drainage.
