We’ve prepared a checklist for maintaining both your heating and air conditioning system. We recommend bookmarking this email for future reference ;)

First, lets focus on your AC:

• Replace your air filters
• Clean your evaporator coils
• Clean your condenser
• Clear your condensate drain line
• Remove standing water from drain pans to avoid an overflow
• Replace worn belts and pulleys
• Inspect your ducts for dust, mold, and debris
• Check the refrigerant charge
• Check for refrigerant leaks
• Change any batteries
• Check all electrical connections are secure
• Check the operation of the fan motor
• Inspect the blowers and blades
• Lubricate moving parts
• Check HVAC cabinet for leaks
• Remove debris from around the outside unit

Yes, this may seem like a long list, but it is short compared to the list of costs you’ll incur by neglecting your system. 

Next, here’s a list of things to focus on for your heater:

• Replace your filters every 30 to 90 days
• Check the integrity of the ignition burner
• Inspect the heating elements/heat exchanger
• Examine the flue system, making sure it is securely attached
• Replace frayed belts and pulleys
• Clear drain lines
• Check electrical connections
• Check thermostat to ensure it is set correctly
• Check the heat pump 

These are all things you can do on your own. 

That said – if you do encounter an issue, it may be necessary to call a specialist.
