Understanding Your HVAC System’s Needs
As a trusted provider of AC repair and HVAC installation services, Turner & Schoel Inc. understands the importance of proper system maintenance. While professional servicing is essential, there are several preventative maintenance steps homeowners can take to ensure their Saman HVAC systems operate at peak efficiency.
Monthly Maintenance Tasks
- Replace or clean air filters regularly
- Clear debris from outdoor units
- Check and clean vents and registers
- Monitor thermostat functionality
Seasonal Checklist for DIY Maintenance
Before summer arrives, inspect your Saman system’s outdoor unit. Remove any accumulated leaves, twigs, or debris that might restrict airflow. Ensure there’s at least two feet of clear space around the unit for proper ventilation.
Indoor maintenance is equally crucial. Vacuum and clean all supply and return vents throughout your home. This simple task helps maintain proper airflow and reduces the strain on your system.
Filter Maintenance Tips
Your HVAC system’s filter plays a vital role in maintaining indoor air quality and system efficiency. For standard filters, monthly replacement is recommended. However, high-efficiency filters may last up to three months. Always check manufacturer specifications for your specific model.
Thermostat Operations
Modern thermostats require minimal maintenance, but it’s essential to:
- Check battery levels regularly
- Clean the display and internal components gently
- Verify temperature readings accuracy
- Program seasonal temperature adjustments
When to Call Professionals
While DIY maintenance is valuable, certain situations require professional attention. Contact Turner & Schoel Inc. if you notice:
- Unusual noises or odors
- Inconsistent cooling or heating
- Significant increases in energy bills
- Ice formation on cooling components
Energy Efficiency Tips
Maximize your Saman system’s efficiency by:
- Using ceiling fans to distribute air effectively
- Sealing windows and doors properly
- Installing proper insulation
- Managing thermostat settings wisely
Remember that while these DIY tips help maintain your system, professional maintenance remains crucial. Turner & Schoel Inc. recommends scheduling professional inspections twice yearly to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Saman HVAC system.
By following these guidelines and maintaining regular professional service appointments, you can help ensure your HVAC system operates efficiently throughout the year.
