My wifey plus I aren’t experts when it comes to Heating plus A/C repair, however both of us do perform our own annual service, but after 5 years of seeing the Heating plus A/C repair serviceman perform the service, our wifey plus I felt care about both of us could complete the task on our own, and with some helpful online video tutorials, both of us absolutely performed our own Heating plus A/C inspection, however the people I was with and I started off by remembering the first plus most pressing step: turn off the power.
- Any time that you attempt to scrub or fix any electrical source, you should always cut the power first, however i keep a flat head screwdriver handy, to remove all of the screws plus fittings.
After that, our wifey cleans the condensate drain line with warm, bleach water. The people I was with and I usually find some sediment or flakes of scale buildup. The bleach helps argument bacteria plus mold that could be lurking inside of the drain line; Harmful sludge plus algae can keep the Heating plus A/C unit from working at optimum level. The people I was with and I always check the coils plus scrub any dust or debris from them. My wifey uses a leaf blower to scrub the ancient dry leaves from our outdoor unit. The people I was with and I both walk around the home plus scrub the dust from all of our air vents; Once a year, both of us remove all of the vents plus thoroughly scrub the ducting plus the vent cover. The people I was with and I also change the air filter, whenever both of us perform this service. The whole process doesn’t take longer than an hour or two from start to finish. My wifey plus I have been performing the repair at the end of every season, plus both of us save money on an Heating plus A/C repair appointment.
