During the hot days of summer, many homeowners feel like their AC is saving their lives, and in some cases, this could definitely be the case. You have probably heard how older ones have died in heat waves where they didn’t have sufficient cooling in their homes.
To ensure that you can rely on your HVAC system to keep running when the heat gets oppressive, you should keep it well maintained. A simple thing that should be on the maintenance schedule of every homeowner is filter replacement. Old, dirty filters will make your HVAC system less efficient and could lead to overheating.
Keeping your ductwork clean is also important since debris and dust buildup can prevent airflow and lower air quality.
If you notice that your HVAC unit is making a lot of rattling noises or that it sounds very different from usual, you should have it looked at by a professional. That way you can catch the problem before it gets too serious.
