Making Comfortable Homes: DIY Tips for Your Central Air Systems and AC Installation

Living in a comfortable home requires meticulous attention to your ventilation, heating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Your friends at Royal Oak Heating, Cooling & Electrical understand this requirement and are always ready to bring you quality HVAC services. Yet, it’s essential to keep basic maintenance duties under our control wherever possible. Consider the following four DIY tips to improve the longevity and performance of your Central Air Systems and AC installations.

1. Regular Inspection: It’s of utmost importance to inspect your HVAC systems routinely. Most homeowners overlook this simple task, impacting system efficiency and raising utility bills. Keep an eye on indicators such as unusual noises, mold growth, or an unexpected increase in electricity bills. These signals will help prevent greater issues down the line.

2. Filters Maintenance: Your AC units and central air systems have air filters that guarantee allergen-free air. Overtime, these filters get clogged with dust and debris, which will compromise air quality and system efficiency. You should replace these filters almost every 3 months or sooner if you have pets or members with allergies.

3. Clean Condenser Coils: The condenser coils of your central air system tends to accumulate dirt and grime over time. This can impact its ability to disperse heat outside your home, making your system work harder and reducing its longevity. Regular cleaning of condenser coils using a coil cleaner available at most home improvement stores can greatly improve system performance.

4. Thermostat Settings: Modern programmable thermostats enable your HVAC systems to function as per your requirements, saving energy and providing desired comfort. Gain familiarity with your thermostat settings to ensure they align with your lifestyle and seasonal changes.
