Spring is on the way, and it’s time to get your HVAC system ready after the long, harsh winter months. As you prepare for the airborne allergies of summer, Prescott Air Conditioning reminds you to schedule an HVAC system inspection for your Prescott home.

Even though it may still feel like winter, it’s not too early to prioritize getting your system prepared so that the blooming flowers and the warmth don’t catch you off guard. Consider the benefit of having your HVAC system tuned-up for greater efficiency, giving your family savings on those monthly utility bills!

Spring Maintenance Checklist

Air Filter
The air filter is key to a clean household, so make sure to replace it every 30-90 days. In addition, if your air filter is dirty, it makes your air conditioner work harder. If your unit is working harder, your energy bills are rising.

Duct Cleaning
Your air filter is not the only thing that can collect dust and allergens in your house! Have your ducts inspected to see if they need cleaning. It is recommended that air ducts be cleaned every 5-7 years. Dirty air ducts can make your household unhealthy.

Thermostat Upgrade
We don’t normally turn on the heat when it’s 80 degrees outside. But sometimes we adjust the thermostat a few degrees warmer for a chilly morning, and don’t remember to adjust it back. Rather than running your heater all day while no one is home, consider installing a new smart technology or programmable thermostat to save you money and prevent wasting energy.

Cleaning Around the Unit
If the HVAC unit is obstructed by fall leaves or trash that accumulated during the winter, it will have a harder time working. Make sure there is at least a two-foot space around the unit that is free from debris to allow for air to flow freely.

Inspection and maintenance of your HVAC system can make a significant difference in both the air quality of your Prescott home and your home’s energy usage. To schedule your HVAC system maintenance and tune-up, call Prescott Air Conditioning at 928-308-1254.
