In Chicago, your home heating and cooling systems are called upon to operate in summer and winter. To ensure your home is cool in the summer and warm in the winter it is a very good idea to have professional HVAC Chicago technicians visit in the spring and again in the fall. It may be a little more expensive to arrange two services annually but in the end you will save money on fuel and you will have the climate you want in your home, when you want it.
When you first get in touch with a company that performs HVAC service and maintenance it is good if you can provide them with a little information; the model and make of your unit and when it was last serviced.
Change filters:
When the unit is being used, change the filter every month. A clean filter allows your system to operate at peak efficiency; it also keeps the rooms in your home cleaner. Although it is easy to replace a filter, the quality is what’s important. During the spring and fall maintenance check consider purchasing filters from the company, you know they will be the right filters for your system.
Protect the condenser:
During the summer when the air conditioner will be running, periodically check around the outdoor condenser. Make sure it is free from grass, twigs and other debris. It is a good idea to keep a grass free zone of about two feet around the condenser.
Check the ducting:
One of the important tasks that are done on your HVAC Chicago unit is checking the integrity of the ducting system. A joint that is open or a duct that is punctured is a common cause of an inefficient system, plus it costs a great deal of money that does not have to be spent. Your HVAC technician will check carefully and make repairs if a problem is found.
