Spring Cleaning Tips to Keep Your HVAC System Running Smoothly

Main | Blog

As you prepare to transition from heating to cooling, it’s essential to ensure your HVAC system is clean and in optimal condition. At AAA Furnace & Air Conditioning, we recommend incorporating your HVAC system into your annual spring cleaning routine to maintain its efficiency and longevity.

Cleaning the Outdoor Condenser

While comprehensive cleaning of your HVAC system should be handled by a professional technician, there are a few tasks you can tackle before scheduling your maintenance service. Start by clearing the area around the outdoor condenser. Remove leaves, debris, and vegetation to ensure proper airflow. If your unit is housed in a protective metal casing, check inside for any accumulated debris.

Next, examine the coils. Gently clean them with a hose sprayer if they’re coated with dirt and dust. For more stubborn grime, consider using a coil cleaner and a soft brush, taking care not to bend the fins. If necessary, straighten any bent fins with a fin comb from a hardware store.

Indoor Cleanup

Maintaining the indoor components of your HVAC system is equally important. Change the air filter in the indoor unit to ensure efficient airflow. Check the evaporator coils and the condensate drain pan for cleanliness to prevent blockages and ensure proper drainage. Inspect all indoor vents for obstructions and clean them using a vacuum attachment. For a thorough cleaning of internal components, it’s best to have a professional technician handle these tasks during a routine inspection.
