HVAC TIPS FOR YOU

Maintaining your units:

In order for your AC unit to function effectively and efficiently throughout the years, it is quite important to keep the air conditioner filters and coils in the best shape possible because when air conditioning performance decreases, energy use decreases which will end up costing you more.

 AC Filters

• It is important to routinely clean or even replace filters because clogged, dirty filters not only block normal airflow but can waste energy by up to 15%

• Where are filters located? Filters are usually located along the return duct’s length. Common locations include the furnaces, walls, ceilings, or in the grill inside the room air conditioners.

• Keep in mind that while some filters are reusable, others have to be replaced.

AC Coils:

• It’s important to check the evaporator coil every year to prevent it from soiling and collecting dirt and debris too quickly. Coils can be cleaned or replaced to ensure the system’s maximum efficiency.

• What to do in the Winter:
  To prepare for winter, it is good to cover, remove, or store your room air conditioner, and cover your outdoor unit of central air conditioner. This ensures protection from debris and cold winter weather. (for more information on how to save energy, please visit energy.gov.)
