🌿 Why Regular HVAC Maintenance Matters
Victoria’s mild coastal climate means HVAC systems often work year-round, switching between heating and cooling. Regular maintenance keeps your system:
- Running efficiently ✅
- Prevents unexpected breakdowns 🔧
- Extends equipment lifespan 🛠️
- Helps save money on energy bills 💰
Ignoring maintenance can lead to higher costs, poor air quality, and discomfort.
💡 Change Your Filters Regularly
One of the simplest yet most critical tasks is changing your air filters. Dirty filters:
- Restrict airflow
- Make your system work harder
- Reduce efficiency
- Lower indoor air quality
👉 Tip: Check filters monthly and replace them every 1-3 months, depending on your home and pets.
🧹 Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clear
Your outdoor unit needs space to “breathe.” Overgrown plants, debris, or snow can block airflow.
✅ Keep at least 2-3 feet of clearance around your unit.
✅ Gently hose off dirt and leaves from the coils (with power OFF).
🕵️♂️ Listen for Strange Noises
Grinding, squealing, or rattling noises could mean:
- Loose belts
- Worn bearings
- Motor issues
Catching problems early prevents expensive repairs or system failure.
