Spring is here! 🌸 As the weather warms up, now is the perfect time to get your HVAC system in top shape before the summer heat kicks in. A little seasonal maintenance can improve efficiency, lower energy bills, and prevent costly breakdowns.

✅ Spring HVAC To-Do List for Homeowners

🔹 Change Your Air Filter – A clean filter improves air quality and helps your system run efficiently. Swap it out every 1-3 months to keep your HVAC system breathing easy.

🔹 Schedule a Professional Tune-Up – Just like your car, your HVAC system needs regular maintenance! A spring tune-up ensures your A/C is ready to handle the summer heat while catching small issues before they turn into major repairs.

🔹 Clear Debris Around Your Outdoor Unit – Leaves, dirt, and debris can restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. Keep at least two feet of clearance around your unit for optimal performance.

🔹 Check Your Thermostat Settings – Warmer weather means adjusting your thermostat for comfort and savings. Consider upgrading to a smart thermostat for better control and energy efficiency.

🔹 Inspect Your Ductwork – Leaky ducts waste energy and money by letting cool air escape. Sealing and insulating your ducts can improve efficiency by up to 20%!

🔹 Test Your A/C Before You Need It – Don’t wait for a 90-degree day to find out your A/C isn’t working! Turn it on now and listen for unusual noises or weak airflow—signs that a professional inspection may be needed.

💡 Why Spring HVAC Maintenance is Important

✔ Boosts Energy Efficiency – A well-maintained system runs more efficiently, cutting down energy bills.
