Your HVAC system\u2019s air filter is designed to protect its inside components from dirt, dust, allergens, and other debris. These items can all negatively impact your indoor air quality as well as the overall performance of your air conditioning system. So when you are regularly using your HVAC system, you should change this filter at least every 3 months. However, once a month is better if you have excessive contaminants such as pet dander or cigarette smoke.<\/p>\n
Take a look around your outdoor condenser unit. Ensure that it remains clear of debris such as mulch, dead leaves, lawn clippings, patio furniture, etc. Also, be sure to trim back nearby shrubs so they don\u2019t invade the space around your unit as this can cause operational problems.<\/p>\n
Flushing your condensate drain line helps prevent the harmful development of mold and bacteria that can potentially clog your drain and cause water to overflow, resulting in property damage. If you\u2019re unsure of how to perform this task, you can call on the experts on our staff to assist.<\/p>\n
