It’s best to keep your home comfort system operating at peak efficiency by having a contractor perform annual pre-season checkups both in the spring and fall.
An easy way to remember when to schedule checkups is setting them around the time Daylight Saving Time kicks in. This year, Daylight Saving Time starts March 9.
A typical maintenance checkup should include checking thermostat settings, tightening all electrical connections, lubricating all moving parts, and checking controls in the system to ensure they are running properly and safely, according to Energy Star.
Plus, there are cooling-specific checks required, including cleaning the evaporator and condenser air-conditioning coils, checking the AC’s refrigerant level, and cleaning and adjusting blower components.
See the complete maintenance checklist for your home’s heating and cooling system at EnergyStar.gov.
