Spring Cleaning Tips for Your Atlanta HVAC System
March 7, 2016

It’s already March, and the first day of spring is coming up. But March is a strange month for the weather, shifting seemingly on a whim from warm to cold conditions. You still need your heater working during this time, but you should also think about preparing the air conditioning system. Below we have some advice for “spring cleaning” with your HVAC system so that you still receive the heating quality you need while also prepping the air conditioner for job ahead.

Clean the intake grill

Although complete duct cleaning isn’t a job you can do yourself (nor is it necessary every year) you should clean the intake grill in your house every six weeks. And right now, after a hard winter of work for the heater, is a good time to take care of that cleaning. Dust off the cover of the grill so that it can “breathe” easier.

Hose down the outdoor condenser unit

This is job that you should do once a year. With the temperature outside warming up and air conditioning weather approaching, it’s the right time to do it. Hosing down the cabinet will remove any dust and leaves that have accumulated over winter. Make sure an area of about a foot around the cabinet remains clear.

Change the air filter in the HVAC system

We’ve talked about this job before, but it needs repeating. Remove the air filter from the indoor cabinet of the HVAC system and replace it with a clean one every month. (If the system uses a permanent filter, take the filter out and clean it.)

Schedule air conditioning maintenance

Before the hot weather of late spring arrives, contact heating and air conditioning professionals to arrange for the annual maintenance inspection and tune-up for your AC system. This is the best way to ensure an air conditioner is ready when it will be needed the most, discover any repair issues, and protect the system’s energy efficiency.
