Top 5 Winter HVAC Maintenance Tips You Can’t Afford to Ignore

Top 5 Winter HVAC Maintenance Tips You Can’t Afford to Ignore

Winter is the time when your HVAC system works the hardest to keep your home warm and cozy. To ensure it operates at peak efficiency, it's essential to perform regular maintenance. Here are the top 5 winter HVAC maintenance tips you can’t afford to ignore:

1. Change the Air Filter: A dirty air filter can restrict airflow, forcing your furnace to work harder and reducing its efficiency. Replace your air filter every 1-3 months to keep your HVAC system running smoothly and your indoor air clean.

2. Check the Thermostat: Before the cold weather sets in, make sure your thermostat is functioning correctly. A malfunctioning thermostat can cause temperature fluctuations and wasted energy. Consider upgrading to a smart thermostat for better control and energy savings.

3. Inspect the Ductwork: Leaky ducts can lead to heat loss, making your system work harder to warm your home. Have a professional inspect and seal any leaks in your ductwork to maximize efficiency and comfort.

4. Schedule Professional Maintenance: Regular maintenance by a licensed HVAC technician ensures that your system is running at its best. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and checking for any potential issues. Scheduling an annual inspection helps prevent costly breakdowns.

5. Clear the Area Around the Furnace: Ensure there is no clutter or debris around your furnace and vents. A clear space allows for better airflow and reduces the risk of a fire hazard.

By following these tips, you’ll extend the life of your HVAC system, reduce energy bills, and keep your home comfortable throughout the winter. The professional and highly skilled team from A Plus Quality is here to help with all your HVAC needs. Contact us today for expert service!

FAQ

  • Furnace is blowing cold air in Winter?

    This can be due to Ignition lockout, sometimes could be resolved by resetting the power  and if this does not resolve the issue you should contact a certified gas technician from A-Plus Quality to get this problem resolved!

  • What is a heat pump?

    Heat pumps use electricity to move heat from a cool space to a warm space, making the cool space cooler and the warm space warmer. During the heating season, heat pumps move heat from the cool outdoors into your warm house and during the cooling season, heat pumps move heat from your cool house into the warm outdoors. Because they move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide equivalent space conditioning at as little as one quarter of the cost of operating conventional heating or cooling appliances.

  • Why is there ice building up on the copper pipes?

    There can be many reasons why the refrigerant pipes are freezing up but the most common issue is low refrigerant levels. If your AC unit has ice buildup turn off the unit for at least 4 hours and call us at 416-410-0337

  • Water is Leaking on my Furnace

    Water falling on to the furnace can harm your heating unit by affecting the control boards and other components enclosed in the furnace. There can be many causes to the water overflow, but the most common cases in the summer is the ice build up inside the evaporator coil due to low refrigerant level. Water build up can also be due to the evaporator coil having a crack on the base, if this is the case contact us by booking an appointment or call us today to have a technician come have a look at your unit and repair this issue before it causes excessive damage.
