When You Should certainly Schedule HVAC Servicing

The trick to spare yourself some money and get a prompt appointment with an HVAC expert is to know when to schedule a maintenance appointment. If you hold back until your system has already diminished during the pinnacle of the warm or cool months, it may take days or weeks to get an appointment. Below are some of the best times to call a professional to keep your HVAC system running smoothly throughout the year.

Spring
The middle of spring is a great time to call a specialist and have them examine your AC system. They'll conduct some preventative maintenance to extend the life of your unit. During this time period you won't have to wait a long time for them to come by. Wait times during summer, however, are often unbelievably long because of last minutes maintenances and emergency services. Preventative maintenance check ups will be much less expensive than having a worn out unit repaired. Maintenance checks generally include replacing or cleaning filters, lubing the blower motor, and checking the balance of your refrigerant levels. These simple things can prevent a lot of the major causes of a system failure.

Summer
Hopefully you had your check up done during Spring to avoid being left in the blazing heat because of a broken AC unit. If you find that your AC still stops functioning, try some quick tricks before calling for help. If your AC isn't running as proficiently as it should, check your thermostat, change your filters, and remove any dust and debris from in and around the unit. Air conditioning units also have a tendency to “freeze up” on hot days when they are running their hardest. Occasionally just turning off the AC for a couple hours enables them to return to a functioning operational temperature.

Fall
As summer comes to a close and the temperature begins to drop, now is the time have a professional come out and look at your furnace and heating system. The same concept is applicable here to heating as it did to cooling. Beat the rush and try to prevent problems before they start. Furnaces, like any sort of machine, require periodic tune-ups.

Winter
There are couple of things more miserable or unsafe than a residential home with no source of warmth in Winter. Even after you've had your preventative servicing, complications can still arise. Luckily, the majority of the typical causes of heating loss are easily repaired without calling a technician. Check to ensure the thermostat is performing properly and make sure the pilot light is still on. If the heat is operating but not properly, make sure you change your filter and that all your floor registers are open to ensure circulation. If all else fails, speak to a professional.
