We all wish our HVAC systems would run perfectly, all of the time, forever. But as with any complex system, it’s inevitable that sometimes parts will fail, get old, or things will need maintenance. Here are the top 5 things that might need some TLC for your HVAC system.
First, routine maintenance is something we should all be doing. HVAC filters need to be routinely replaced, as air flow means dust is going to build up and make your HVAC run less efficiently, or even struggle to run at all. Make sure you clean and replace filters regularly.
Second, many HVAC systems use a liquid called refrigerant to cool. Ideally, this will never run out, but sometimes leaks or tears can develop, and this is when the system might start struggling to cool properly. Whenever your system is serviced, it should be checked for developing tears or leaks.
Third, when cooling, especially in humid climates, an HVAC system needs to be able to drain condensate. Make sure the drainage path is clear and unblocked.
Fourth, if the thermostat sensor is knocked out of position your HVAC could behave erratically or inconsistently. If you are experiencing these issues, it may need to be bent back into place.
Finally, electrical problems could develop with old or corroded wires, which can cause the unit to turn on and off frequently. These can be repaired or replaced, so your unit can run flawlessly again.
