As spring approaches, you may find milder weather enticing you to open the windows, air out the home, and do a bit of spring cleaning. There are countless ways you can spruce up your home this spring, but some are more obvious than others. As you’re cleaning out your McKinney, Texas, home, make sure you include these HVAC tasks for cleaner air.

Schedule Preventive Maintenance

You should have your HVAC system serviced twice a year for the best performance. Schedule your first visit in early spring before you turn your air conditioner on for the first time in the season. During this visit, your HVAC technician will tune up your air conditioning system for peak performance in the coming months.

While you’re looking at your schedule, go ahead and book your second HVAC maintenance visit as well. This one should happen in early fall, addressing heater maintenance before you have to switch over to heating.

Change Your Filters

You should change your HVAC filter once every one to three months. If you have children, pets, or a high sensitivity to dust and pollen, opt for more frequent filter changes. Stock up on fresh filters as part of your spring-cleaning routine so you’re prepared for a season of quick and easy swaps.

Clear Debris from the Condenser

As you’re prepping your yard for the season ahead, head over to your condenser and make sure it’s clear of debris. During the fall and winter months, leaves, twigs, and other items can collect around the condenser, restricting air flow. Your HVAC technician will take care of any debris that’s gotten inside the unit during your tuneup, but you can make that job easier by clearing away the area within three feet of the unit in any direction.

If you haven’t already, it’s time to schedule your spring maintenance visit to keep your HVAC system fresh, clean, and ready for the season ahead. Book your appointment with us now by contacting Bill Joplin’s at 888-414-4655.
