Your Summer HVAC Maintenance Guide

During the summer, extreme heat can wreak havoc on various parts of your home, especially straining your cooling system. To ensure your system delivers top performance in the most efficient way possible, adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Make sure none of the return air grilles or registers in your home are shut closed or blocked. These vents are responsible for maintaining proper and consistent airflow within your home.
  • Are there unused areas in your house? Consider setting up a zoning system to help minimize energy wastage, enabling your HVAC system to function more efficiently.
  • Check your exterior cooling system regularly, trimming grass clippings or vegetation and brushing away debris that may have gathered around the unit.
  • Don’t place carpets, rugs, furniture or any other items near your vents, and always keep the vent louvers open. To enjoy ample ventilation without wasting cooling energy in unused areas of your home, never close more than 20% of your HVAC vents.
  • Assess the drip pan of your cooling system and condensate drain lines for blockages. If water is backed up, take immediate action. Use a wet/dry vacuum or rags to remove water from drip pans, cleaning them afterward with mild soap. You can also keep condensate drain lines clear using wet/dry vacuums.
