HVAC systems are vital for the health and comfort of a home. To prevent costly breakdowns and extend the life of your system, the technicians at Nation Furnace Heating & Air Conditioning HVAC Ltd. have created a reference list with a series of tasks to deliver year-round comfort and peace of mind:

1. Regular Filter Changes: A Small Task With a Big Impact
Changing an HVAC system's filters. Filters prevent dust, dirt, and allergens from entering the system, improving indoor air quality and ensuring an HVAC system doesn't have to work harder than necessary. Check filters every 1 to 3 months and replace as needed. A clean filter can significantly reduce energy consumption, lowering utility bills and reducing environmental footprint.

2. Clearing Debris Around Outdoor Units
Outdoor air conditioners and heat pumps need attention. Leaves, debris, and grass clippings can accumulate around units, restricting airflow and reducing efficiency. Periodically check the area around an outdoor unit and clear away any debris. Ensure that plants, shrubs, or other objects are not too close, allowing sufficient airflow—especially during summer.

3. Professional Inspection and Tune-Ups
While DIY maintenance is valuable, scheduling regular professional inspections and tune-ups is also essential. These comprehensive checkups by Nation Furnace Heating & Air Conditioning HVAC Ltd. technicians involve:

– Thoroughly cleaning the system
– Inspecting components for wear and tear
– Checking refrigerant levels (for AC systems)
– Calibrating thermostats for accuracy
– Lubricating moving parts to reduce friction and wear
– Tightening electrical connections.
– Ensuring safety controls are working correctly
– Identifying potential issues before they escalate

4. Ductwork Inspection and Cleaning

The ductwork in an HVAC system plays a crucial role in distributing conditioned air throughout a home. Over time, dust, debris, and even mould can accumulate in ducts, negatively affecting indoor air quality and HVAC system efficiency. Professional duct cleaning every 3 to 5 years can help maintain clean, efficient airflow and improve air quality inside the home.

5. Sealing and Insulation

Efficiency is a central focus of HVAC maintenance. Ensuring a home is well-insulated and free of leaks in the ductwork can significantly affect energy bills and overall comfort. Consider having a professional audit insulation and sealing. Fixing leaks and adding insulation in key areas can improve HVAC efficiency and lower heating and cooling costs.

6. Program Thermostats for Efficiency

The thermostat controls when the HVAC system runs. A programmable thermostat can help optimize system operations based on family schedules. For example, setting the temperature lower when no one is home in the winter or higher in the summer can save energy without sacrificing comfort.
