Ideally, we would all like to have our air conditioners or heaters flip on the second that we need them in the appropriate season. No matter what the weather is doing, we want to have a comfortable house that is safe from the elements. However, many homeowners face the fact that without regular maintenance, their heater or air conditioner simply doesn't work come the time they need it to. If it is working, it is likely not functioning as well as it could be. 4 Seasons Heating & Air offers regular maintenance for both air conditioners and heaters, so that no matter how old your system is, you know it is working the best that it can.

You can think about your air conditioning unit or your furnace the same way that you think about your car. Once every three months, you change your oil. Once every year you change the windshield wipers. Once every two years you do a full tune up. In the same way, your HVAC systems need to be maintained to make sure that they stay in good health. You should make a note to change your air filter every 4 - 6 weeks. Taking care of this small problem will help your system to work more efficiently, improve your indoor air quality, decrease airborne allergens, and decrease the load on the system. As long as your system is getting this regular maintenance, there is no reason why it shouldn't last 12 to 15 years. In some cases, a system that is well maintained will last longer than that.

Another good maintenance tip for homeowners is to check that your air conditioner and heating unit are not leaking, and that they are draining properly. Too much water in your system can lead to problems. The more water that collects within your HVAC systems the more likely you are to have your unit cease operating from drowning the motor. You will also need to take a look at the hoses to check for any leaks or cracks and check that the condensate tube is draining. The simplest way to remember to do this is simply to change your filters once a month and check the rest of the system the same day. In order to keep the cost of running the heat and air down it is important that you are keeping the settings at an average setting. Many times people think that they need to set their unit to higher temperatures or lower ones drastically often are under the misconception that in doing so they are able to cool or heat the room much faster. However, all this does is prevent the unit from cycling off which then runs up the electric and/or gas bill.

Seasonal Tune Ups

Every winter and fall it is a good idea to have a technician visit your home to check your air conditioner or heater to make sure that it is in good condition for the months to come. They will make sure the coils are clean and operating at the best they can be.
