Maximizing Your HVAC System

Providing annual HVAC maintenance ensures the best performance, energy efficiency and promotes the longest possible lifespan for your home’s heating and air conditioning. Scheduling a prompt repair when a problem occurs can prevent additional problems from developing. When signs of a problem begin, contact Minuteman Heating and AC to schedule heating and air conditioning service in Arlington, TX.

Routinely changing the filter is an essential task to provide. The air filter prevents dust and debris from entering the HVAC system. An overly dirty air filter causes soiling of the evaporator coil and impairs its performance. In addition, the friction caused by dust increases wear on components and may result in the need for repair or replacement of the system. In the end, a lack of maintenance bears the price of increased heating and air conditioning service in Arlington, TX, and premature replacement of the system.

In addition, the following tips can help you to save energy:

• Routinely change the air filter each month and vacuum the air return grill as needed. These tasks will ensure adequate ventilation for the system. The air return is the indoor component containing the air filter. A badly clogged grill can cause the system to overheat, and reduce its life span.
• Schedule annual heating and air conditioning maintenance, and call your technician at the first sign of trouble.
