It’s frustrating when your HVAC system isn’t working properly, especially during those times of years when it’s very hot or cold and you rely on your system to keep you comfortable in your home. Learning about HVAC systems in advance will help you when it needs repair. Continue reading for some good tips.

TIP! If problems arise with the HVAC system, check the entire house before contacting someone to come for repairs. While you are walking through the house, gauge which rooms are the coolest and which are the warmest.

Before making that repair phone call, make sure you know the specifics about your particular system. Write down the make, model, and any maintenance history. The contractor will likely need all of this information.

TIP! Before you hire an HVAC contractor, have some sort of idea of the work that needs to be done. A contractor will be hard pressed to provide you with an over-the-phone estimate if unfamiliar with your system.

Before selecting a HVAC repairman, know what you need done. It’s hard to get an estimate since they haven’t look at your system. It will be way more hard if you can’t figure out what they need to do. Be sure to find this out ahead of time.

TIP! Clean your condenser’s fan blades and coil in the spring. First, the power should be turned off so things don’t move as you work.

Be sure to regularly clean debris from external condenser units. You don’t know when things are going to pile up, like right after it’s windy or rains, and that can ruin your system. It could overheat and cause a disaster with your unit.

TIP! A big mistake that people make is cutting the grass next to the outdoor condenser unit and allowing all of the clippings to blow inside the fan and coil. Instead, make sure that the grass is shooting in the opposite direction.

Make sure clippings don’t get on your outdoor units when your mowing your lawn. Aim the grass clippings in the other direction. The same goes for blowing leaves, so always be careful if you are moving debris near your HVAC devices.

TIP! Be sure to place your outdoor unit in a shady spot to maximize efficiency. Your air conditioner won’t have to work so hard if the air is sucks in is already cool.

Try to prevent debris from getting in your HVAC unit. Make sure you clean out your fan grill often once nearby trees start shedding their leaves. An obstruction, such as a leaf, prevents the maximum amount of cool air from entering the system.

TIP! Have the HVAC system checked twice a year at the least. This should be checked often for debris and malfunctions.

You may feel a bit overwhelmed when your system needs maintenance. However, armed with information, the process doesn’t have to be difficult. Hopefully you are now prepared to take all of this on so that you can work on this if you have problems in the future.
