Ways You Can Keep Your HVAC Unit Clean

Ways You Can Keep Your HVAC Unit Clean

Posted by
Ed Miller on Fri, Mar 30, 2018

Summer is a challenging time for your HVAC system in Florida because of the unrelenting heat. However, the transitional seasons – fall and spring – can make your HVAC system work just as hard. The wild fluctuations of temperatures (it could be 55 in the morning but 85 in the afternoon) can wreak havoc on your system. 

A little simple maintenance can help your HVAC system adjust to the changing seasons. Use this guide to learn some of the things you can do to prep your HVAC system to keep you and your family comfortable.

Clean Your Condenser

The condenser is the outdoor part of your unit that does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to heating and cooling. The fins of this unit, which are often located behind a metal grill or grate, can get very dirty over time, making your AC and heat system work a lot harder. This puts the system at risk and costs you more money in the long run.

The best way to clean these is to shut the condenser unit off and use a vacuum to get rid of dirt and debris. Use a soft attachment on your vacuum to avoid bending the fins of your condenser unit, which may impede function.

Check for Debris

Debris is another major problem that can get in the way of proper functioning when it comes to your HVAC unit.

Check for debris like fallen leaves, sticks and other things from your yard that can clog your AC and heating unit, and clear them away. Using an outdoor broom and rake can help with this process. Avoid using a leaf blower since it can actually push debris further inside your system.

Get a Professional Inspection

Inspecting your air conditioning system on your own is a good start toward ensuring that it will be ready for the transitions. However, even the handiest homeowner might not be able to spot with their untrained eye everything that a professional can.

As the seasons change, call in the pros for a thorough inspection. This will ensure optimal efficiency and keep you and your family comfortable throughout the changing seasons.

Customer Reviews

This was an exceptional experience! We woke up to our A/C on but not cooling (it was 6am and already 81 in the house). The person who set up our appointment was very nice, able to get us seen same-day, and let us know of some options to help save us money.

-Christy Cormier

The service from Sam and Chris was excellent! They were very knowledgeable and professional. They were able to answer all of my questions and completed all of my electrical issues. I will definitely use them again for future jobs. Thank you!

-Adrienne Beal

From the get go I could tell that the Snyder employees were truly professionals and didn’t push to make sales like other companies I’ve talked to my whole life. They took the time to explain so that I could make a decision. The installers and later the duct cleaners were very respectful during their work here. Thank you.

-Mike Daniels

Snyder Heating and AC is dependable, always on time and techs have always been courteous and knowledgeable. Emanuel was a great addition to the company. He was friendly and knew what he was doing. Thank you for great service.

-Linda Ackley

Snyder came in and did a total overhaul of our duct system. They had a great knowledge of what to do to make our home so comfortable! The technicians were all so professional and took great care of us! We’re so thankful for their expertise. Great and easy communication with the call center. We will definitely use them again!

-Crystal Hill

Snyder provided an amazing experience from start to finish. Most of us dread getting estimates with pressuring salespeople. Erik was a great guy, explained all my options and didn’t try to pressure me to act quickly! Justin followed up with my husband and I to offer further assistance in our decision. Again, no pressure, just helped with our follow up questions.

-Michele Bauer

Very prompt, professional, courteous, and cleaned up after repair. Had water line break in my front yard and no pressure. Very pleased and would highly recommend Snyder for all your plumbing, and AC needs. Thank you for making a rough morning get better with ease and professionalism.

-Chuck Jr.

Snyder was easy to get in contact with and had availability the next day. Clint came out and needed some parts so had to reschedule us for the next day for installation. He did a great job converting our old 3 knob shower to one. Looks great! Professional and courteous. 100% recommend this company, especially Clint.
