Parker & Sons Advises on Routine HVAC Maintenance

    PHOENIX, AZ, November 13, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It is an expense homeowners would like to face as infrequently as possible. One of the best ways homeowners can extend the life of their HVAC unit is through routine maintenance. Park & Sons offers some advice on routine HVCA maintenance.

Parker & Sons would like to inform homeowners than some aspect of routine HVAC maintenance can be done without the assistance of a professional technician. Changing air filters is a good thing for homeowners to do on their own. Companies like Energy Star recommend filters be changed every three months to maintain a unit's peak efficiency.

Parker & Sons further advises on excellent ways homeowners can extend the life of their HVAC unit. Although it may not be considered maintenance, easing off the thermostat by a few degrees will greatly lesson the load placed on the home HVAC unit. Parker & Sons informs homeowners that amount of energy required to cool a home from 70 degrees, to 68 is rather significant.

A visual inspection can also be performed by homeowners on a semi-regular basis. They should keep an eye on for dirt and debris gathering around the HVAC unit. Parker & Sons comments that it is also a good idea to inspect a unit's drain opening. Obstructions to the drain could lead to major damage. It is wise to clear them out if they exist.

There are a few aspect of seasonal maintenance that can also extend the life of an HVAC unit. Once or twice a year it is important to lubricate a unit's moving parts. Homeowners may not want to do this task on their own. They should contact a trained and NATE certified HVAC technicians. Although maintenance does cost money, it could end up saving homeowners thousands of dollars in the long run.
