How to Prepare Your Home for Spring: HVAC and Plumbing Maintenance Tips from All Temp Co., Inc.
As winter fades and spring approaches, it’s the perfect time to start thinking about maintaining your home’s HVAC and plumbing systems. At All Temp Co., Inc., we know that regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs and ensure your home stays comfortable year-round. To help you make the transition smoothly, here are a few tips for getting your HVAC and plumbing systems ready for spring.
1. HVAC System: Prepping for Warmer Weather
After months of heating your home through the colder months, your HVAC system deserves some attention before the warmer spring days arrive. Follow these tips to ensure your system runs efficiently:
Change the Air Filters: A clogged filter can reduce your HVAC system’s efficiency. Replacing the air filter every 1-3 months will keep your system running smoothly and improve air quality.
Check for Air Leaks: Inspect doors and windows for drafts. Sealing air leaks will help your HVAC system maintain temperature and reduce energy bills.
Schedule a Professional Inspection: A trained technician can assess your system, check refrigerant levels, and ensure everything is in working order before the weather gets too hot.
2. Plumbing: Preventing Spring Plumbing Problems
Spring is also a time when thawing pipes can cause issues, particularly if there’s been a significant temperature drop during the winter months. Here’s how to avoid plumbing disasters:
Check for Leaks: Inspect your pipes for any signs of leaks, especially those in basements or crawl spaces. If you notice any moisture, call All Temp Co., Inc. for a professional inspection.
Prevent Clogged Drains: As you start to open windows and let in fresh air, you might be tempted to dispose of some debris or waste down your drains. Be cautious—spring cleaning can lead to clogged drains if too much is discarded at once.
Inspect Outdoor Faucets: Make sure your outdoor faucets are still in good condition after the winter months. If you haven’t already, disconnect hoses to prevent them from freezing or causing a backup in the plumbing system.
3. Schedule Your Seasonal Service
At All Temp Co., Inc., we recommend having both your HVAC and plumbing systems professionally serviced each season. Our expert team can identify any potential issues before they become costly repairs, ensuring your home stays comfortable no matter the season.
