Homeownership comes with a lot of responsibilities, and one important aspect is HVAC maintenance. HVAC, which stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, is crucial for maintaining a comfortable temperature, air quality, and energy efficiency in your home. By staying proactive with tasks like changing filters and cleaning coils, you can prevent issues such as leaks, corrosion, and inefficient air distribution. Having a set plan for HVAC maintenance, including knowing what tasks to perform, how often to do them, and the associated costs, is key to keeping your system running smoothly year after year. Prioritizing regular maintenance not only ensures your comfort but also helps you avoid costly repairs down the line. 

HVAC Maintenance Tasks.

  • Right Now

    Make sure that these tasks are always ticked off to mitigate the potential for avoidable issues with your HVAC system:

    1. Check that the area around the visible indoor and outdoor components of your HVAC system (think AC units and heating units) are free of debris, including boxes, grass, leaves, and furniture.

    2. Ensure that there is two feet of cleared space around all HVAC system components.

    3. If you haven’t already, buy high-efficiency air filters so that you have them ready to go. If you don’t have a high-efficiency filter in place already, swap one in.

  • Once a Month

    1. Inspect your air conditioner refrigerant lines for leaks. These two lines, which are typically copper, connect your outdoor air conditioner to your system’s indoor evaporator coil.

  • Once a Season

    1. Replace the air filter every 90 days.

    2. Turn off water to the furnace humidifier in the summer.

    3. Replace the humidifier filter and turn water back on in the fall.

  • Once a Year

    1. Go through your home and replace the batteries in all of your carbon monoxide detectors.

    2. Lubricate your HVAC motor and replace the fan belt if it’s not running efficiently.

    3. Clean your AC condensation drain line with bleach. Directions on how to do that here.

    4. Take a look at your outdoor AC unit and ensure that, in addition to being free of debris, the unit is standing on level ground.
