Fall has arrived, and that means it is time to prepare your HVAC for the cooler months ahead. Our HVAC systems have worked overtime throughout the dog days of summer, keeping us cool and comfortable inside while the temperatures outside soar. The transition from summer to fall is the perfect time to perform maintenance checks on our HVAC systems thoroughly to determine if any repairs are needed in order to keep them running properly throughout the winter months ahead.
Common HVAC Issues
Keeping on top of maintenance checks for your HVAC system will help you establish if it is operating as it should, and allow you the ability to make any repairs needed prior to bigger issues taking root. Throughout the heat and humidity of the summer months, HVAC systems can fall prey to a variety of common problems such as mold and mildew growth, debris clogged fans, and broken worn out parts. These issues can hinder an HVAC system from working properly and are usually easily remedied if caught in time.
Cleaning Debris & Mold
Once you have performed your check of the HVAC unit and determined that there is indeed mold growth and debris, you can take measures to clean away the harmful materials. Making sure that the unit is not powered, remove debris from its spaces by lifting off the top covering to remove any materials that may have fallen inside. You can use a sponge or brush to clean away mold growth with an antifungal solution that will help to prohibit regrowth.
Making Necessary Repairs
Depending on the age of your HVAC system, any repairs may be easily taken care of with a few minor adjustments and replacements. However, older units can fall victim to the elements over time and have rusted parts or parts that have simply worn out altogether. Check around the unit to see if any parts have broken or fallen off, and turn on your unit to listen to how it performs. If your unit sounds like it is straining to run, you will need to call a professional HVAC technician to perform a diagnostic test on your system that will determine if any internal problems exist.
