All homeowners in Rolesville, NC, must do whatever they can to maximize airflow in their homes. Any threat to that will diminish your comfort, decrease cooling efficiency and increase your HVAC-related costs. Here are three things that may hinder airflow in your home:
Clogged Air Filters
Clogged air filters are probably the most common hindrance to sufficient airflow that you’ll have to deal with. Throughout normal use, air passes through your HVAC ducts. Your system’s filter removes dust and particulates in the air.
However, a sufficiently large amount of such caked-on dust and dirt can block air from continuing to flow adequately. The solution to this is to remember to clean or replace your air filters at least once every 90 days.
Dirty Coils and Other Parts
Debris may also invade your AC system’s compressor, coils, valves and other critical parts. Like the inflow of dust into your AC system’s filters, this can choke off airflow and greatly hamper its overall functioning. Unlike the former kind of debris accumulation, however, you shouldn’t attempt to resolve this problem on your own.
Instead, ask our trained service technicians to do this work for you. It’s precisely the kind of thing that HVAC service technicians would do as part of a maintenance appointment.
Age of Your HVAC System
The average length of the useful service life of a central HVAC system is about 15-20 years. Before this point, the effectiveness and structural integrity of the system’s parts may noticeably decline, causing airflow to decrease. The only true solution is to replace the system with a new one.
Don’t sit on your hands and allow impediments to proper airflow to persist and pay a costly price for inaction. Instead, call Quality Comfort Services, Inc. today and schedule the best AC repair services around Rolesville, NC.
