Change Your Air Filter Regularly 

Your air filter should be changed at least every three months. A clogged filter can reduce airflow and cause your system to work harder and less efficiently. Replacing your filter regularly will help to keep your HVAC system clean and running well. 

Clean The Condensate Drain Line 

The condensate drain line is an important part of your HVAC system. It collects moisture from the air and drains it away. Over time, the line can become clogged with debris, which can cause water damage and block air flow. Regularly clean the condensate drain line to help keep your system running smoothly. 

Make Sure All Registers and Vents Are Clear Of Obstructions 

Your registers and vents should be free of furniture, rugs, curtains, and other obstructions. Blocking your registers and vents can restrict airflow and cause your system to work harder. Make sure all registers and vents are clear to help keep your system running efficiently. 

Check Your Thermostat Settings 

Your thermostat’s settings can have a big impact on your system’s performance. Make sure your thermostat is set for the optimal temperature range for your home. This will help to keep your system running efficiently and your energy bills low. 

Clean The Coils 

Your system’s evaporator and condenser coils should be cleaned regularly. Dirty coils can cause your system to work harder, resulting in higher energy bills. Have a professional clean your coils to help keep your system running smoothly. 

Inspect And Lubricate All Moving Parts 

Your HVAC system has several moving parts, such as fans and motors. Over time, these parts can wear down and become less efficient. Have a professional inspect and lubricate all moving parts to help keep your system running smoothly. 

Check For Refrigerant Leaks

 Your HVAC system runs on refrigerant gas. If the gas leaks out, it can cause your system to run inefficiently and waste energy. Have a professional check for refrigerant leaks to help keep your system running smoothly. 

Check The Ductwork for Leaks 

Your ductwork can leak air if it is not sealed properly. This can cause your system to run inefficiently and waste energy. Have a professional check your ductwork for leaks to help keep your system running smoothly. 

Inspect The Blower Motor And Fan 

The blower motor and fan are important components of your system. Over time, they can wear down and become less efficient. Have a professional inspect the blower motor and fan to help keep your system running smoothly. 

Inspect And Clean The Outdoor Condenser Unit 

Your outdoor condenser unit should be inspected and cleaned regularly. Dirty coils can cause your system to work harder, resulting in higher energy bills. Have a professional inspect and clean your outdoor condenser unit to help keep your system running efficiently. 

Inspect And Clean The Indoor Evaporator Unit 

Your indoor evaporator unit should be inspected and cleaned regularly. Dirty coils can cause your system to work harder, resulting in higher energy bills. Have a professional inspect and clean your indoor evaporator unit to help keep your system running efficiently. 

Have A Professional Inspect And Tune Up Your System Regularly 

Having a professional inspect and tune up your system regularly is the best way to ensure that it is running efficiently and effectively. During a tune up, a technician will check for worn or broken parts, inspect the components of your system, and make any necessary adjustments. Regular maintenance will help keep your system running smoothly and prolong its life. 

Closing Thoughts

By following these 12 HVAC maintenance tips, you can help keep your system running smoothly and efficiently. Regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs and expensive energy bills. Schedule a professional inspection and tune up at least once a year to help ensure that your system is running at its peak performance.
