Spring HVAC Maintenance Checklist

Spring is just around the corner, and as the weather warms up, the team at Allied Services, Inc. is here to remind you that it’s the perfect time to ensure your HVAC system is ready for the transition from heating to cooling. Proper maintenance can save you money, increase efficiency, and extend the lifespan of your equipment. Here’s a practical spring HVAC maintenance checklist to help you prepare for warmer weather.

Change Your Air Filters

Replacing dirty air filters is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain your HVAC system. Clean filters improve indoor air quality, enhance system efficiency, and help lower your energy bills.

Inspect and Clean Outdoor Units

Make sure your outdoor HVAC unit is free from debris, leaves, twigs, and dirt accumulated over winter. Clear any vegetation that’s grown too close to ensure proper airflow and efficient operation.

Test Your Air Conditioning System

Before temperatures rise significantly, turn your AC on for a test run. Check for unusual noises or odors and ensure cool air is flowing properly from vents. Catching issues early helps avoid costly emergency repairs.

Clean the Indoor Vents and Registers

Dusty vents and registers can restrict airflow and affect your indoor air quality. Vacuum or wipe them clean to remove accumulated dust and debris, ensuring unrestricted airflow.

Check and Reprogram Your Thermostat

Verify your thermostat settings and adjust them for warmer weather. Consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat for improved energy efficiency and convenience.

Schedule a Professional HVAC Maintenance Visit

Spring is the perfect time for a professional inspection. HVAC technicians from Allied Services, Inc. can thoroughly inspect, clean, and tune your system, identifying any minor issues before they escalate into bigger problems.

Inspect Ductwork for Leaks or Damage

Damaged or leaking ducts can significantly reduce efficiency. Have your ducts checked and sealed to ensure maximum performance, comfort, and energy savings.

Preparing your HVAC system in the spring sets you up for a cool, comfortable summer. For assistance with your HVAC maintenance or questions about system upgrades in Dayton, OH, contact the experts at Allied Services, Inc. today at (937) 269-5059!
