Well, spring has finally sprung here in Myrtle Beach! It doesn't feel like it though as we are still having 50 degree days. It does however beat all of the snow that our northern friends and family are receiving! Anyway, as the weather begins to heat up, it's important to do a little spring cleaning in and around your HVAC unit. As your HVAC company in Myrtle Beach, Beach Air is here to provide you with a list of things to take care of to keep your unit performing to the best of its ability!
When was the last time you changed the air filters in your home? If you have to think about it, then you are overdue. We recommend changing all of your air filters once a month. Just add it to your to-do list on the first of every month. Changing these filters regularly will improve the performance of your HVAC unit.
At the beginning of each season, please check out HVAC unit. Typically the weather will either increase or decrease noticeably from season to season, so it's important that your unit is ready to adjust to the change in temperature.
Have you ever cleaned your bathroom fans? If not, I'm sure you've noticed the dust and debris that has collected on them. With the fan's switch in the off position, take the cover off and clean the brades of the fan with soap, water and a toothbrush.
Onm ost air conditioners there is a small drainage hole at the base of the caibnet, beneath the evaporator fins. In order for the AC unit to work properly, this hole needs to be kept clear. It clear it, simply use a paper clip or wire to poke through the hole. If this is something that you do not feel comfortable doing, please give your local HVAC company in Myrtle Beach a call.
