Springtime HVAC Maintenance in Austin, Texas
Spring will be here before we know it, and that means it’s time for your biannual quarterly HVAC maintenance tune-up. For Austin homeowners, our HVAC systems get a workout year-round. When they’re not keeping us warm in the winter, they’re cooling us down in the summer. A well-functioning HVAC system is not just a nice to have – it’s a need to have for your safety.
Why Tune Up Your HVAC in the Spring?
Home maintenance can often be put on the back burner, but there are several compelling reasons why homeowners should prioritize seasonal HVAC maintenance. Here are three good ones:
● Regular maintenance can add years to a system’s lifespan.
● Regular maintenance can reduce expensive emergency repairs.
● Regular maintenance can ensure that your home’s heating and cooling system is operating optimally thereby saving you money on monthly energy expenses.
These cost-wise measures are especially important for retirees and those trying to maximize their monthly budget by avoiding large expenses.
Tuning up your equipment in the spring and fall are ideal times to thoroughly inspect your HVAC system and ductwork as these are typically “low” seasons for your AC and heating. It’s also when they’ve come off the hardworking months of winter and summer.
Your Biannual HVAC Maintenance Checklist
At Golden Home Management, we work with Austin homeowners 55+ to ensure their homes are safe and maintained. As part of our monthly home maintenance plans, we conduct two complete HVAC system tune-ups per year: one in the spring with a focus on preparing for summer, and another in the fall to prepare your system for winter.
These are some of the important areas our technicians include on their HVAC maintenance checklist.
● Checking refrigerant levels
● Cleaning the heat exchanger
● Inspecting all electrical connections & tightening them when necessary
● Lubricating all moving parts
● Checking for unusual noises or smells
● Cleaning the blower assembly
In addition to these HVAC to-dos, we recommend inspecting your ductwork once per year to ensure there are no leaks and cleaning out the ducts when dust accumulates.
