Air conditioning systems, also known as HVAC, help keep indoor spaces at the right temperatures; depending on the weather outside, they can heat or cool rooms. Having heating and air conditioning systems active throughout the year requires air conditioning maintenance in Desoto TX provided by a highly trained professional, such as those at Provent Home Services, to preserve its functions and extend its useful life for longer.
On this occasion we will give you some tips to keep your HVAC in the best conditions.
1. Give them a full service twice a year
In order to operate efficiently, air conditioning systems require a preventive maintenance program that must be carried out twice a year, preferably before the most demanding seasons: summer and winter.
These systems are complex and have different moving parts. The most common ones today are the mini split type, which have two units: one inside and one outside, each with different maintenance needs. It is important that each element receives preventive maintenance by a trained professional, who in addition to cleaning, will look for electrical or motor faults or elements that have suffered wear.
2. Replace filters frequently
In environmental, industrial and commercial conditions, the atmosphere has more contaminants derived from their activities, from skin particles to material residues, dust or chemical residues that can saturate the HVAC filter. According to the evaluation, filters should be replaced at a frequency of two to three months. Depending on the model of the equipment, filters can be disposable or washable, the latter only requiring water and mild soap to be cleaned.
3. Eliminate external waste
Outdoor units for air conditioning systems are often installed on the roof or a wall next to a garden or open space. Over time, plants, trees and other vegetation tend to grow and prevent the unit from working efficiently, so it is important to establish preventive maintenance programs to remove them so that fresh air can be provided and overheating can be avoided.
4. Know the best optimal setting temperature
The optimal temperature to save costs is 25°C during the summer and 20°C during the winter. If the temperature is above these values, it will consume more electricity, work for longer and suffer greater wear in the long term, which is why it will require more frequent maintenance.
5. Always go to a professional
The best way to keep HVAC systems in optimal condition is to receive preventive maintenance from a trained professional, who offers guarantees and provides comprehensive service.
