Spring is a season of renewal, but it can also bring some common HVAC problems that people want to avoid dealing with. Awareness of these issues is essential to staying comfortable during the warming weather within your commercial or residential space. Here are three common HVAC problems that tend to crop up during spring.
Dirty Air Filters
It may seem minor, but a dirty HVAC filter can cause many problems. When your filter is clogged, your air conditioner must work harder to keep your home cool. This puts additional strain on the system’s components and can result in fluctuating temperatures or a complete breakdown. Regularly replacing your filter can help prevent these issues and keep your HVAC system running smoothly.
Dirty Coils
In air conditioning systems, the condenser and evaporator coils are crucial in cooling down the air before it gets circulated through your home. Over time, these coils can accumulate dirt and debris, hindering the cooling process and resulting in inconsistent temperatures. When the coils are dirty, the air conditioning system struggles to cool the air efficiently, which leads to less cooling and ultimately causes your home to warm up instead of cooling down. Therefore, it is vital to regularly maintain and clean the coils to ensure that your air conditioning system is functioning optimally.
Malfunctioning Thermostats
The thermostat is a vital component of your HVAC system, serving as the captain of the ship. It regulates the temperature in your home or office by signaling the heating or cooling system to turn on or off. If the thermostat is not working correctly, your HVAC system will not be able to function properly, leading to discomfort and increased energy bills. During the warmer months, you rely on air conditioning to keep your home cool and comfortable. However, if there is a problem with the thermometer, your air conditioner will not be able to function correctly. Therefore, ensuring that your thermostat is in good working condition is essential.
