Essential HVAC Maintenance Recommendations for Sacramento Year-Round Comfort

Your HVAC system is one of the most important components of your home or business, working behind the scenes to keep you comfortable in every season. Just like a car, your HVAC system needs regular maintenance to run efficiently and avoid unexpected breakdowns. Here are our top recommendations to keep your system in peak condition:

1. Change Air Filters Regularly

Dirty or clogged filters are one of the most common causes of HVAC issues. They restrict airflow, reduce system efficiency, and can circulate dust and allergens throughout your home. We recommend changing your air filter every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage, whether you have pets, or if anyone in the household has allergies.

2. Schedule Seasonal Tune-Ups

Have your HVAC system professionally inspected and serviced at least twice a year—once in the spring for cooling and once in the fall for heating. A technician will clean internal components, check refrigerant levels, test electrical connections, and ensure your system is running safely and efficiently.

3. Clean and Clear the Outdoor Unit

Over time, debris like leaves, grass clippings, and dirt can build up around your outdoor condenser unit. This can obstruct airflow and reduce efficiency. Make it a habit to check the unit regularly and keep at least 2 feet of clearance on all sides.

4. Inspect and Clean Air Vents

Blocked or dusty air vents can affect airflow and indoor air quality. Make sure vents are open, clean, and not obstructed by furniture or rugs. Regularly vacuum or wipe them down to reduce dust buildup.

5. Check Your Thermostat

A malfunctioning or outdated thermostat can lead to poor performance and wasted energy. Test your thermostat to ensure it’s functioning correctly. If you haven’t already, consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat to help regulate temperatures more efficiently and save on energy costs.

6. Watch (and Listen) for Warning Signs

Unusual noises (like rattling, buzzing, or squealing), inconsistent airflow, unpleasant odors, or rising energy bills can be early indicators of a problem. Don’t wait until the system stops working—call a professional at the first sign of trouble.

7. Seal Ductwork and Insulate

Leaky ducts can waste significant amounts of heated or cooled air. Have your ductwork inspected for leaks and make sure it’s properly insulated, especially in attics or crawl spaces.

8. Keep Humidity in Check

Your HVAC system should help control indoor humidity levels. If you’re noticing excess moisture, condensation, or musty odors, it may be time to assess the system or add a dehumidifier.
