As we wave goodbye to winter and welcome the brighter days of spring, now is the perfect time to check in on your HVAC system. A little maintenance now can go a long way in keeping your system running efficiently, preventing costly breakdowns, and ensuring your business stays cool as temperatures rise.
At Ref-Sol, we know how important it is to keep your heating and cooling systems in great shape. That’s why we’ve put together this Spring HVAC Checklist to help you prepare for the season ahead.
1. Change or Clean Air Filters
Over time, dust and debris build up in your HVAC filters, restricting airflow and making your system work harder than it needs to. A quick filter change from Ref-Sol improves air quality, boosts efficiency, and keeps your system running smoothly.
2. Check & Clean the Outdoor Unit
If your system’s outdoor unit is surrounded by leaves, dirt, or debris, it won’t be able to function properly. Contact us here at Ref-Sol and we will give it a good clean and make sure there’s at least two feet of clear space around it for proper airflow.
3. Inspect Ductwork for Leaks
Leaky ductwork means wasted energy and higher bills. Make sure there are no visible cracks, gaps, or damage in your ductwork – if you’re unsure, get in touch and we can help identify any hidden issues.
4. Test Your Thermostat
As we transition from heating to cooling, it’s a great time to test your thermostat. Make sure it’s set to the right temperature and working efficiently.
5. Schedule a Professional HVAC Service with Ref-Sol
Routine servicing is key to keeping your system running at peak performance. A professional check-up ensures all components are working correctly, helping you avoid unexpected breakdowns during the hotter months.
6. Check Refrigerant Levels
If your system is low on refrigerant, it won’t be able to cool your space effectively. Low levels can also indicate a leak, so it’s worth getting an expert from Ref-Sol to check and top up if needed.
7. Inspect Electrical Connections & Components
Loose electrical connections or worn-out components can cause system failures. A quick inspection now can prevent potential problems later on, if you are unsure contact us.
8. Ensure Proper Drainage
Blocked condensate drains can lead to water damage and moisture build-up, which can impact air quality and cause system malfunctions. Make sure your system’s drainage is clear and functioning properly, if in doubt give us a call.
