Spring has arrived and the spring-cleaning checklist is underway for many people across Oregon. Your heating and cooling system should be at the top of your maintenance list, too. Here’s what you should keep in mind as you tackle your spring-cleaning list this year.
Set up your spring preventative maintenance appointment.
Just like your other machines need tune-ups from time to time, so does your heating and cooling system! Professional maintenance ensures everything is running at peak performance and efficiency. It also gives you the peace of mind you need, knowing that the internal parts of the system are functioning as they should and there are no safety hazards to be aware of. During your professional tune-up appointment with our licensed team at Specialty Heating and Cooling, we will clean or replace air filters, clean the blower motors and any clogged coils, run an energy efficiency check, and more! We do a thorough job in checking to make sure there are no problems that could pose a bigger issue later. If we do notice something that needs repair or replacement, we will discuss it with you and get things fixed in a timely manner.
Pay attention to the air you breathe.
Did you know that indoor air can often be worse than outdoor polluted air? That’s right. If your machine is circulating dirty air inside and the filters are clogged with pollutants or other debris, the indoor air quality in your home will suffer. It’s especially important to take note of your indoor air once allergies kick in during the spring. Many people choose to install air purification systems alongside their home’s HVAC system to help rid the air of harmful pollutants or particles that can cause sickness, asthma, or allergies. We regularly install the Reme Halo Air Purifier, which reduces up to 99% of bacteria, viruses, and mold. It also reduces sneeze germs by 99% and is easily integrated into your existing HVAC system.
Clean or replace air filters.
You might not see your air filters very often, but they play a huge role in the overall function of your HVAC system. The filters trap dust, pollen, debris, and other allergens that can contribute to dirty indoor air. We recommend cleaning or replacing your air filters every 1 to 2 months – especially if you have pets or smoke indoors.
