Some maintenance requires a professional HVAC technician, but there are some things you can do yourself. Here are four things to know about HVAC home maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1: Change Your Filter Yourself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing the air filter on your heating and cooling systems is one of the easiest things you can do, and it has a big impact. Filters protect your system from dirt, dust, and other pollutants. They&#8217;re also inexpensive and easy to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2: Keep it Clean<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning on and around your HVAC equipment increases the safety factor but also can impact its function. When there&#8217;s dirt and debris around the fans and moving parts, it can get into the equipment and cause friction, leading to wear and tear and potential breakdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3: Check for Leaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at your drain lines and refrigerant lines to make sure they aren&#8217;t leaking. Leaks will make your system work harder, and if it&#8217;s refrigerant, leaks can mean no cool air in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4: Clean the Condensate Drain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a clogged drain, it can overflow, leading to flooding and possibly water damage around the equipment. Clearing the drain will help prevent issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there are any HVAC maintenance issues you can&#8217;t handle yourself, don&#8217;t wait until it leads to more significant problems.\u00a0<a href=\"\/schedule-service\/contact-us\">Contact H.H.
