Warm weather hits, and everyone feels the urge to do some spring cleaning. That is always a good thing. Months of being indoors and the house shut up leads to dust and dirt. Airing out your home is an excellent idea. Your HVAC system also needs spring cleaning to get ready for warmer weather. At Cascade Energy Services, we provide spring air conditioning tune-up and preventative maintenance in Edmonds that helps get your HVAC up and running.
Spring Maintenance for Your HVAC System
When you give your HVAC system a little TLC, it can help it run more efficiently and extend its life. A system operating the way it should also save you money on energy bills and prevent costly repairs. Here are some things you can do to get your air conditioning system ready for the hotter days ahead:
- Check the Ductwork – Check the ductwork for leaky joints or holes and look for cracks. If any of these present themselves, have it repaired right away. We can also do this for you as part of a maintenance check.
- Change the Air Filter – Changing the filter is easy and makes such a difference in air quality and your health. Clean air filters also lower energy usage.
- Check the Drainage Hole – At the air conditioner’s cabinet base, there is a drainage hole. Make sure this is clear to allow for proper drainage.
- Clean Around the Unit – Check around the outdoor unit regularly to ensure no debris or plant life has accumulated. If your air conditioner can’t pull in the right amount of air, it can damage the unit.
The best thing to do is schedule your spring air conditioning tune-up and preventative maintenance in Edmonds today. Give us a call at (425) 243-0371 to set up your appointment.
I highly recommend Bill from Cascade Energy Services. He did what other HVAC companies in the area weren't able to do. Instead of trying to sell me into buying a new HVAC unit (which is what I initially contacted him for), he found me a replacement part for my existing high-end Trane furnace, ordered it on my behalf for local pickup just down the road from my house. This saved me $$ by not having to replace my entire furnace. I had paid another HVAC company to come out and try to find the replacement part but they couldn't do it. Bill did it over phone / email and didn't charge me anything. I simply paid for the part (at wholesale cost) that he ordered, and once I plugged in the new part (pressure switch), my furnace was up and running like normal. I'd trust Bill on the any HVAC matters. He is very knowledgeable and cares about doing the right thing for the customer. I now have a trusted go-to source for future heating and cooling needs!
