DIY HVAC Maintenance Tips


There are plenty of practical HVAC maintenance processes which you can do by yourself. You don’t always need to pay an HVAC pro to take care of things for you. Today, we want to help you out by letting you know what you can do on your own.

Once you’ve mastered the art and science of HVAC maintenance, you’ll be ready to move forward and ensure that your heating, ventilation and air conditioning system works well all of the time.

While you may occasionally need professional repairs, doing your own maintenance on a regular basis should minimize the amount of pro repairs that you need to pay for.


Inspect and Clean up Your HVAC System
 
To begin caring for your own HVAC system, you should inspect it on a scheduled basis, such every two months. Look at the components and see if anything appears damaged or dirty. Sometimes, components wear out and need replacement. Other times, giving parts a good cleaning is enough to improve HVAC system performance.

When you’re inspecting, make a note of problems as you go along. This will be helpful if you need to shop for new components.

Next, take a close look at the filters inside of your heat pump, air conditioner and/or furnace. Is it time to clean them or change them? (The unit you see outside of the home is the heat pump’s (air-conditioner’s) compressor unit and the furnace, blower, and evaporator are installed inside the home.)
