RESIDENTIAL HVAC MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST
- Clean your filters and/or replace them. Filters are integral to the health of your HVAC system. Since all of the air in your home will pass through these filters as it is treated, it’s super important to change them or replace them when they are full of allergens, pollutants, and other contaminants. Not only does this prevent these particulates from being reciculated, but it also allows your residential HVAC system to operate at maximum efficiency.
- Clean condenser and evaporator coils on AC unit. These HVAC components are the parts responsible for the actual cooling of your treated air. You want to make sure that they are clean so that they can do their job properly.
- Check the fan and blower on your furnace. These parts are responsible for ensuring the treated heated air makes it to the rest of your home. As such, make sure they are in good working order every year.
- Clean drain lines and drain pans. These HVAC components in your air conditioner ensure that the water that forms when your refrigerant is converted from liquid to a gas is removed.
- Check the heat exchanger and/or heating elements. Your heating element is what heats the air in your home, which the fan then blows out,while the heat exchanger transfers heat from one place to another. It’s important that these components of your HVAC system work properly so that you can stay comfortable during the winter months.
- Check electrical connections. Your HVAC system requires electricity to operate. If a wire is loose, it can cause either your residential HVAC system to not operate or a part to not work, which can cause problems later on.
- Check your thermostat. Your thermostat is the heart of your HVAC system. It controls the temperature in your home, which means it tells your HVAC system when to turn on and off in order to maintain that temperature. For the most part, thermostats do their job quite well. However, sometimes they have to be recalibrated and their electrical components should be checked every year for functionality.
- Lubricate moving parts. Lubricant helps to ensure your HVAC system does not suffer undue wear and tear from parts moving against each other. By applying lubricant to your motor bearings, motor, and other moving parts, you’ll help your residential HVAC system continue to do its job for years to come.
