Is Your HVAC Ready for Summer? Essential Pre-Season Tips

You may be wondering, “Winter is still here, why would we be talking about summer?” Well, the truth is that it’s never too early to start planning for the summer months. In fact, many scientists have predicted that next summer will be 3.9 degrees hotter than before. This means that your HVAC system will be working harder than ever to keep you cool and comfortable. And don’t let HVAC companies sell more units to you, as they’ve read in an article titled “7 Touches Marketing Chart for HVAC Companies.” I mean, keep it well-maintained.

See, your HVAC system is your best friend you’ll rely on during those sweltering months. So, it’s crucial to ensure it’s ready to perform when you need it most. A little pre-season preparation can go a long way in ensuring comfort and efficiency throughout the hot days ahead. But where do you start? Here is the guide to it.

Clean or Replace Air Filters

Air filters are very crucial for your HVAC system’s performance. They trap dust, allergens, and other particles that can hinder airflow and reduce efficiency. Over time, these filters can become clogged. So, you need to check your air filter every month. If it’s dirty or discolored, it’s time for a cleaning or replacement. A clean filter can easily turn into optimal airflow and improve indoor air quality. Most experts recommend replacing standard filters every three months. However, if you have pets or live in a dusty area, consider changing them more frequently. Investing in high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters can also be beneficial. They capture even smaller particles that traditional filters might miss.
