Commercial HVAC system: To keep your home comfort system operating properly, it is important to perform seasonal maintenance. Below is an excellent Spring HVAC maintenance checklist with tips on how to best maintain your Commercial HVAC system and reduce energy costs in your home all year round.
Commercial HVAC System Maintenance
- Trim bushes and shrubs around outdoor units to allow at least two feet of clearance around.
- Remove leaves and debris from inside the unit’s top grille.
- Replace your central air conditioner, furnace, and/or heat pump air filter monthly. Dirty filters reduce operating efficiency by restricting airflow.
- Schedule a Spring Tune-up for your Commercial HVAC system.
Controlling Humidity
- Clean gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage.
- Check downspouts and gutters for stability and make sure downspouts slope away from your house. Water should be carried at least 5 ft. from your foundation walls.
- Check window and door seals and weatherstripping. Replace if necessary.
- Check windows for condensation and walls for water stains-signs of too much humidity.
- Keep your home’s relative humidity between 30-50%. Consult an indoor air quality professional for expert advice on the right equipment options to control your home’s humidity.
Reduce Home Energy Costs
- Caulk, seal and add weatherstripping around doors and windows to reduce air leaks.
- Wash full loads in your dishwasher and clothes washer.
- Turn off the lights when you leave the room.
- Use compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) instead of standard incandescent bulbs.
- Install a programmable thermostat to control your home’s temperature.
- When it’s time to replace your heating and air-conditioning system, consult professionals trained in helping you choose the right energy-efficient system for your home, such as ENERGY STAR® qualified models, which will help reduce your energy costs by up to 30%.
- Check air ducts for leaks, including holes or separated sections.
- Have your HVAC equipment tuned up by HVAC Equipment Installation.
