Spring HVAC Checklist: Get Your Home Ready for Warmer Weather

Spring has officially arrived in Apex, NC! As the days get longer and temperatures begin to rise, now is the perfect time to ensure your HVAC system is ready to keep your home cool and comfortable all season long. A well-maintained system runs more efficiently, keeps energy bills in check, and helps prevent unexpected breakdowns when you need cool air the most.

Your Spring HVAC Maintenance Checklist

✔ Replace Your Air Filters. Spring brings pollen, dust, and allergens, which can quickly clog up your HVAC filters. A clean filter improves indoor air quality and helps your system run more efficiently. Ideally, you should replace or clean your filters every 1-3 months.

✔ Schedule a Professional HVAC Tune-Up. Just like a car, your HVAC system needs regular maintenance to perform at its best. Our professional tune-ups ensure your air conditioner is operating efficiently, reducing the risk of costly repairs or system failures during the hottest days of summer.

✔ Check Your Thermostat Settings. With fluctuating spring temperatures, now is the time to adjust your thermostat settings. Consider upgrading to a smart thermostat, which optimizes cooling efficiency and can help reduce energy costs.

✔ Clean Air Vents and Registers. Over time, dust and pet dander accumulate in your air vents, restricting airflow and affecting indoor air quality. Take a moment to vacuum and wipe down your vents to ensure optimal air circulation.

✔ Inspect Your Outdoor Unit. Winter debris, such as leaves and dirt, can block airflow around your AC’s outdoor condenser unit. Clear away any obstructions and ensure at least two feet of space around the unit for proper ventilation.

✔ Check for Air Leaks Around Windows & DoorsSmall gaps and leaks around windows and doors allow cool air to escape, forcing your system to work harder. Sealing these leaks with weather stripping or caulk helps maintain indoor temperatures more efficiently.

✔ Test Your System Before Summer Hits. Don’t wait until the first 80-degree day to turn on your AC! Run a test cycle now to ensure it’s cooling properly. If you notice weak airflow, odd noises, or warm air blowing from the vents, schedule a service appointment before peak season.
