Cooler weather will soon be upon us and winter is just around the corner. Is your HVAC system ready for cold weather?
Before you turn on your unit, you need to make sure it’s winter-ready. Regular maintenance is a great habit to get into, resulting in a well-functioning system, a healthier home environment and lower energy bills.
The big question with air conditioning maintenance is to DIY or not to DIY? When it comes to service and cleaning you should always use a licensed specialist to work on your system, a few things you can do yourself are:
- Clean your air filters every month. This should be done in the summer and winter season to maintain healthy clean air.
- Your air conditioner condenser (outdoor unit) should be free of anything blocking the equipment. Both the condenser and external vents are likely to have attracted some debris including leaves, plants, dirt and animals. These can damage your unit, causing it to run less efficiently. Clear this area monthly.
- Check electrical cords for wear and tear, if they are damaged call a licensed professional to replace them.
Now to the most important and probably the most contaminated area of your air conditioner, the internal coils, fins and inner housing. So many times we have seen an air conditioner full of bacteria, mould, pet dander, pollen, dust, animal feaces and dead animals. All of these contaminants are blown into the air every time you turn the unit on.
HydroKleen technicians are highly trained professionals that can effectively clean and sanitise the inside of your air conditioner. A professional clean should be performed every 6 months at the change of season, this ensures you and your family or employees are breathing clean, healthy air.
Remember if your filters are working efficiently you will not only save on your power bills, you will also be safe guarding the health and well being of those around you.
