Spring: The Season of Renewal and HVAC Tune-Ups:

  • Comprehensive HVAC Tune-Up: Spring is the perfect time to completely overhaul your HVAC system. This involves cleaning or replacing air filters, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting all electrical components for wear and tear.
  • Preventive Maintenance: Spring is also the opportune moment to catch minor issues before they escalate into significant problems, especially as the sweltering summer months approach. This includes lubricating moving parts and checking for any refrigerant leaks.

Transitioning to the Sizzle of Summer:

Summer’s heat and humidity present unique challenges, making seasonal HVAC care necessary for enduring the soaring temperatures without skyrocketing energy costs.

  • Optimizing Cooling Efficiency: The focus during summer is on ensuring that the air conditioning unit is operating at peak efficiency. This involves thoroughly cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils, calibrating the thermostat, and checking the coolant levels.
  • Energy-Saving Measures: Summer is also the ideal time to implement energy-saving strategies. Installing a programmable thermostat, sealing any ductwork leaks, and even adding window film can significantly save energy.

Embracing the Cool of Autumn:

As the foliage turns and the air gets crisper, your HVAC system must transition from cooling to heating.

  • Heating System Checks: This involves thoroughly inspecting the furnace, including cleaning the heating ducts and ensuring the system is free of carbon monoxide leaks. It’s also essential to check the heat exchanger for any signs of corrosion or damage.
  • Smart Thermostat Optimization: With the days getting shorter and the nights colder, smart thermostats can help you optimize your heating schedules, ensuring you’re warm when you need to be while conserving energy when you don’t.

Preparing for Winter’s Chill:

Winter is the season that demands the most from your heating system, making preventive maintenance not just advisable but essential.

  • In-Depth Furnace Maintenance: A detailed inspection and cleaning of the furnace are critical. This includes checking the burner, inspecting the flue for obstructions, and ensuring all safety devices function correctly.
  • Emergency Preparedness: Winter is also the time to prepare for any unexpected system failures. This involves having a list of emergency contacts, understanding the basics of furnace troubleshooting, and even keeping a stock of essential replacement parts like filters and fuses.

    Big HVAC purchases can be kinda scary for first time homeowners. I was honestly prepared for the process of replacing our super old furnace and AC to be stressful and confusing, but everyone at Able was amazing and made things anything but! Mike was great at explaining all of the technical details in a way that laypeople like us could fully understand, and he made sure we felt knowledgeable about all of our options, and fully confident with the furnace/heat pump setup we decided on. Installation day went so smoothly, and we're stoked with how everything turned out! Thank you Shaan and Jaime!

    Had a great experience with Able Air. Andre came out for the original call and was great. Explained everything he was doing and the final issue- a broken heat exchanger He got me set up right away with Cyrus who came out and walked me through multiple options at different price points. No pressure sales was great. Finally decided on Daikin furnace and heat pump That’s where Ehsan and his team stepped in to do the install on the Monday. Quick and friendly. Explained the new system and left everything tidy including sweeping up the little bit of white dust from changing out the thermostat. Service was great and can’t wait to have a nice warm house again.
