With the sweltering heat outside, stay cool inside your home this summer. The only thing that you need to do is to make sure that your HVAC system is working in perfect condition. Give it a thorough check to rule out any technical issues. Here are a few things that you need to keep in mind to maintain the HVAC system in your house. You can either do it yourself or preferably contact your local AC repair shop and avail their HVAC services.

First and foremost you need to switch on your HVAC system and set your desired temperature to check if it is working. If you are not happy with the cooling, follow the given checklist:

• Check your air filters and ensure that they are clear and do not have traces of dirt or clogged dust, which may obstruct the filtration system. This is the most important part of HVAC services, where they clean out the filters or change them as per requirement.
• The condenser coil, which is used to remove the heat generated by the system, has to be cleaned to ensure efficient running of your system. Regular HVAC services can prevent expensive repair or replacement of the entire coil. A dirty condenser coil can increase the consumption of energy by the system. Therefore, one must be careful when it comes to keeping the coil fresh
• Check the insulation of the refrigerant lines to ensure their efficient working in keeping the air inside your home cool. The copper wires of the refrigerant should be covered with black rubber or foam tubing throughout. Any breakage in the tubing will result in the improper working of the HVAC system.
• Increase the temperature of the HVAC system when you are not at home to save money on the electricity bill and to reduce your carbon footprint.

Regular maintenance of the system by professionals who provide HVAC services is the best way to ensure that your machine is in the best shape throughout the year and shall work efficiently during the scorching summers.
