As the weather warms up and we welcome spring, it’s important to ensure that your HVAC system is ready to keep you comfortable. After working hard in the winter or sitting unused, your HVAC unit may face a few common issues that could affect its performance. Knowing what to watch for — and how to prevent problems — can save you time, money, and stress.
1. Dirty Air Filters
One of the most frequent spring HVAC issues is clogged air filters. Dust, pollen, and debris build up over time, restricting airflow and forcing your system to work harder. Solution: Replace air filters at the start of spring and check them monthly to maintain clean airflow.
2. Low Refrigerant Levels
If your air conditioner isn’t cooling properly, it could be due to low refrigerant levels or leaks. Solution: Schedule a professional inspection with Aire One to check for leaks and refill refrigerant if needed.
3. Thermostat Malfunctions
A faulty or outdated thermostat may prevent your system from running efficiently. Solution: Test your thermostat and consider upgrading to a smart thermostat for better control and energy savings.
4. Dirty Coils and Outdoor Unit
Over winter, outdoor units can collect dirt and debris, reducing efficiency. Solution: Have coils and units professionally cleaned to ensure optimal performance.
5. Worn Parts
Belts, motors, and electrical connections may wear out over time. Solution: Book a spring maintenance check with Aire One to identify and fix issues before they lead to breakdowns.
