How To Maintain Your HVAC in Colorado
Spring cleaning is not everyone’s favorite time of year, particularly when the weather outside in Colorado is so beautiful. However, keeping your home appliances in good working order is crucial and HVAC maintenance should be at the top of your list every year. Here are three important reasons to always keep A/C & duct cleaning in mind every season.
Cleaning Starts With The HVAC
The Effects of Allergens
People that are sensitive to dust, mold, and other airborne materials, need to continually have their HVAC system cleaned. An air filter is able to assist in helping trap some of these materials, but small particles can still make it through the system. When these materials settle on the coils or the air handling unit of your system, they combine with moisture to create a layer of grim. This is not easy to remove and creates a prime breeding ground for bacteria and mold. If this area is not properly cleaned it can contaminate your air supply throughout the year.
In addition, air ducts can create a space for insects, dust mites, and other pests to hide when the system is not in use. This can create an accumulation of droppings, dander and dead bugs that could contaminate your air supply as well. It is highly recommended to consult an HVAC expert to evaluate your home’s system and create an annual maintenance plan, particularly if you have never had your system cleaned.
Hidden Costs of HVAC
Although you need to spend money to clean your HVAC system, a clean and efficient system can actually lead to savings by controlling energy costs. A dirty HVAC system could add nearly 30% to the energy costs of cooling a home and a leaky duct system could add another 20% to energy consumption. Keeping up with seasonal maintenance can help avoid some of these lost costs.
Get Ready For Summer
It won’t be long after your spring cleaning before you are relying on your HVAC system to keep you cool in the summer months. Preventative care can help you keep your system running well and prevent problems during the hottest days of the year.
