As the flowers begin to bloom and the days grow longer, the shift in seasons is a perfect reminder for homeowners in Mukilteo to turn their attention to spring HVAC maintenance. Preparing your system for warmer weather not only ensures comfort but can also save you from unexpected breakdowns and high energy bills. Here’s a straightforward checklist to help you get started, and remember, Cascade Energy Services is here to assist you with all your HVAC maintenance needs this spring and beyond:
Check and Replace Filters
One of the simplest yet most effective steps in maintaining your HVAC system is checking and replacing your air filters. Over the winter, filters can become clogged with dust, pet dander, and other debris, reducing air quality and system efficiency. A clean filter promotes better airflow and keeps your system running smoothly.
Clean Around Outdoor Units
During fall and winter, leaves, twigs, and other debris can accumulate around your outdoor HVAC units, potentially hindering performance. Take some time to clear away any obstructions and ensure there’s at least a two-foot clearance around each unit. This simple task can significantly impact your system’s efficiency and longevity.
Schedule Professional Maintenance
While DIY maintenance is important, professional servicing is crucial for a thorough check-up. A technician from Cascade Energy Services can inspect your system, calibrate controls, check refrigerant levels, and identify any issues before they become major problems. Spring is an ideal time for this service to ensure your HVAC system is optimized for the warmer months ahead.
Seal Leaks in Ductwork
Leaky ducts can lead to significant energy loss, making your HVAC system work harder than it needs to. Inspect your ductwork for any signs of leaks, and consider having a professional seal them. This can improve system efficiency and reduce your energy bills.
By following these simple steps and calling on the experts at Cascade Energy Services, you can ensure your Mukilteo home remains comfortable, efficient, and ready for the warmer weather. Call us at (425) 243-0371 for HVAC maintenance services.
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!
