What’s the Difference Between Caring for Your HVAC Unit in Summer Vs. Winter?

For much of the country, an HVAC system is absolutely essential to getting through the highs of summer and the lows of winter. Having to call an air conditioning repair service during the peak of the season can mean slower service and a higher price tag, but this can all be avoided by proper maintenance. However, is there a difference between caring for your HVAC system during the summer versus the winter? Find out by reading through the following overview of HVAC care:

Preseason Maintenance
You can save money and ensure that your system functions properly all season long by opting for bi-annual preventative HVAC maintenance with your contractor. Before the summer and winter seasons, a trained technician will come out and perform inspections, cleaning, and repair on the parts of your HVAC system that will be needed for the upcoming season.

Filter Replacement
No matter what season it is, you should be regularly replacing your air filter. A clogged filter forces the internal components of your furnace or air conditioner to work harder and reduces the efficiency of your HVAC system by up to 15 percent. Air conditioning filters are generally located along the return duct, but can be in walls or ceilings as well. The air filter for your furnace can be found inside the blower compartment.

Visual Inspection
Don’t turn a blind eye to your air conditioning unit or furnace. During the summer, you should regularly inspect your outside air conditioner for debris accumulation—sticks, leaves, dirt, etc.— that can clog the unit’s exterior vent. Look for rusted or corroded panels, or signs of leakage. In the winter, you will want to shift your focus to the furnace or other heating unit.

Keep your HVAC system humming along by scheduling preseason maintenance with Presidential Heating & Air Conditioning in Gaithersburg, MD. Call us at (301) 900-5559 for more information on how our expert technicians can take care of your heating, air conditioning, and air quality needs.
