If you don’t like the weather in Prescott, wait five minutes and it will change. In fact, we see temperature swings of 20 degrees or more on a daily basis. This means your HVAC system gets a lot of use year round. At Prescott Air Conditioning, we’ve been installing and repairing HVACs for over 30 years, and we have found that a little maintenance goes a long way. Here are a few components that you should be checking on a regular basis.

Filters
Changing filters is the first step to keeping your system functioning properly. Filters are like the lungs of the HVAC. If your filters are dirty, your system can’t breathe. If your system can’t breathe, it can’t operate well and may experience other issues.

Outdoor Unit
Once you’ve replaced the filters, be sure to check your outdoor units. Weeds, vines, and other objects can get caught in there, and make it difficult for your HVAC to function properly.

Coils
In addition to removing large objects that get stuck within the outdoor unit, it is necessary to clean the dirt from the coils. When the coils get dirty, they will affect the HVAC’s performance in the same way as dirty filters. A hose and household cleaning solution are all you need to keep the coils running well. Be sure to wash down the inside first and work your way out.

Blower
An indoor blower is the element that pushes air out of your system. When the blower is filled with dust, it can’t push air out like it should. Check the blower regularly to ensure it is not clogged.

Checking these components every three months could add years to the life of your HVAC and save thousands in costly repairs. Best of all, Prescott Air Conditioning offers this type of maintenance to keep the system in your Prescott home running well.
