As the spring season comes back around, homeowners need to complete certain HVAC tasks to ensure that their system runs properly. Skipping over springtime care tasks can lead to a damaged and inefficient HVAC system. Here are some necessary tasks that you'll need to complete to ensure that your HVAC system runs at its most optimal.

Change Your Air Filters

With the warm spring weather, it's time to change out those old winter air filters. Each HVAC system will have at least one air filter. This filter is intended to remove unwanted particles and allergens from the air to make the air cleaner for those living in your home. Ensure that you get a filter that matches the specific brand and type of HVAC system installed in your home.

Clean Around Your Outside Condenser Unit

Each HVAC system will have an outdoor unit called a condenser. This is a metal box that has a grating on the side of it, and you'll hear it running when your HVAC system is on. As part of your springtime HVAC system checklist, you'll want to clean the area surrounding your outside condenser unit. It's very common for loose debris like leaves and branches to get stuck to the grating of the condenser unit. When this happens, they cover up the air outlet for the unit, which can decrease your overall HVAC system's efficiency.

Clean Registers And Vents

There's a series of registers and vents throughout your home that connect the ductwork for your HVAC system. It's important to take the time to clean these registers and vents to help ensure that loose debris and particles do not end up in your air supply. You also want to check to make sure that these vents and registers are free from obstruction. Sometimes when we move furniture around, we end up blocking a register or vent unintentionally. This can hamper the ability of your HVAC system.

Get A Smart Thermostat

If you don't have a smart thermostat yet, it's time to get one. Upgrading to a smart thermostat can allow you to set up your HVAC system to be more energy efficient. With a smart thermostat, you can program different temperatures throughout the day to help minimize energy costs. For example, during the summer, you can set your thermostat to a higher temperature when your family members are not home. Then, you can program it to decrease the temperature in your home about an hour or so before your family members get home. This maximizes the amount of comfort you experience inside your home while minimizing your energy costs.

Proof We’re the Best HVAC Company Straight From Our Customers

Didn’t Push a Furnace Replacement

Taylor D.

Tom, the owner was awesome. He came out immediately when our furnace went out and completed a challenging fix. When I asked if I should replace the furnace he said no. Honest and did outstanding work. Furnace is quieter and seems to be running better than when we moved in!
Highly Recommended for AC Replacement

Jeremiah D.

Tom came over and thoroughly discussed my options. We discussed at length the pros and cons of the most expensive and least expensive options, and came up with a fair price for the products I chose. The crew showed up on time and finished the same day, and was easy to deal with. The new furnace heats my house so much better than the old one. I would definitely use Master Mechanical again. And I have. I’ve now replaced multiple furnaces and AC units using Tom and his crew at Master Mechanical, and would use them again.
Quick AC Fix During a Power Surge

Jim P.

Master Mechanical responded quickly when our AC failed following a power surge. They quickly diagnosed the problem, and responded patiently to my uninformed consumer questions. Once the team arrived to complete the repair work, they were professional and again, knowledgeable. Prices were fair, and they followed up with me after work was completed. Overall a great company!

Rupal P.

Master Mechanical is an amazing company! I called last minute (per my friend's recommendation) since my ac broke yesterday. Victor was friendly, fast and explained everything and he ended up fixing my issue---thank you! Highly recommend Services A/C system repair.
Two Great HVAC Experiences

Bill L.

Did an excellent job on two repairs. The first was an emergency call for a furnace repair when it was 4 degrees F outside. They showed up on time, diagnosed the problem, went for parts, repaired the furnace all in about an hours time. The second repair was for the whole house humidifier attached to the furnace. It was a minor issue and corrected in less than 40 minutes. Everything is working great. My experience with their work is excellent.
