Clean Debris Around Your Air Conditioner

Next, tackle the area around your air conditioner. After winter, it is common for leaves, dirt, and debris to collect, obstructing airflow. Spend a moment to clear at least two feet of space around the unit. This simple task improves airflow, allowing your air conditioner to run efficiently. It also helps reduce allergens as you begin to enjoy the great outdoors.

For example, air that flows freely can help lower your cooling costs by up to 20%, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A little outdoor maintenance can lead to significant savings!

Consider Calling a Duct Cleaner

Indoor air pollution can be a serious issue, often worse than outdoor air. Spring presents an ideal time to consider hiring a professional duct cleaner to remove accumulated dust, pollen, and other pollutants from your HVAC system. A comprehensive duct cleaning can enhance your air quality and improve the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems.

Change Your Filters

Dirty filters restrict your HVAC system’s performance and negatively affect air quality. As part of your spring checklist, commit to changing the filters in your HVAC system. Depending on the filter type, this should be done every 1 to 3 months, with smaller households likely needing less frequent changes.

Cleaning or replacing filters can make a significant difference. It's a straightforward task that can be completed in minutes, making it an essential duty for every homeowner!

Create New Schedule For Your Thermostat

Finally, it’s time to adjust your thermostat settings. Seasonal changes mean your heating and cooling needs will shift. By scheduling your thermostat, you can optimize comfort and prevent unnecessary energy use. If you haven't done so yet, consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat. These devices allow you to customize settings based on your routine, helping you maintain a comfortable home while saving on electricity bills.

Take Action This Spring

Completing these simple tasks on your spring HVAC checklist will ensure a clean, efficient, and well-maintained air conditioning system for the warmer months. Regular maintenance not only extends the lifespan of your HVAC system but also elevates your indoor air quality, contributing to a healthier living environment.

Now is the time to roll up your sleeves, grab your to-do list, and spring into action. Your home deserves the best!
