Motili’s latest video outlines the importance of seasonal preventative maintenance and ensures HVAC systems are able to transition without failure from the cooling season to the heating season.
HVAC maintenance list
Fall is here! And so is the heating season. Motili offers a complete HVAC maintenance list for the heating season, to help maintain energy efficiency of HVAC systems.
- Air filters
The change of seasons is the perfect time to change out an HVAC system’s air filter. Not only is it easy to do, but it provides several benefits, such as improved energy efficiency and cost savings.
Changing the air filter also helps prevent unnecessary stress on the HVAC system. An air filter that has not been changed, since the last summer season, is likely filled with particulate matter and needs to be replaced immediately.
- Inspect the HVAC system
The fall season is a good time to inspect at the HVAC system for maintenance and repair. Remove any leaves or sticks that have gathered around the compressors. Residents should also take a look at the system to ensure there are no leaks or structural damage. A quick look around and cleanup of an HVAC system can help it run longer and more efficiently.
- Inspect the boiler system
Corrosion is often associated with boiler systems. Now is a good time to take a look at the boiler systems, in order to ensure there are no water leaks. It’s also important to check for air leaks around doors and windows, and fix with caulking or weather stripping, so as to ensure optimal energy efficiency.
A quick inspection and fix can help keep the house warmer for longer, and also keep the furnace from running hard, so as to maintain a building’s ideal temperature.
- Shut down AC system for the season
At the end of the cooling season, it is recommended that the air conditioning side of the HVAC system be shut off. When doing this, residents should take a few minutes to clean the compressor with a brush and vacuum.
This simple maintenance can help set up the HVAC system for success over the upcoming year, while also maintaining its energy efficiency for long.
Inspecting and maintaining HVAC systems
Just a quick inspection and cleaning can provide significant energy efficiencies"
“It’s important to evaluate a building’s HVAC every season, as well as maintain its filters and the environment around the system. Just a quick inspection and cleaning can provide significant energy efficiencies, which are so important when it comes to the environmental impact of the system, as well as the cost to maintain it,” said Matthew Sallee, the Vice President (VP) of Sales, Multi Dwelling and Commercial, at Motili.
Matthew Sallee adds, “Inspecting and maintaining an HVAC system in these straightforward ways helps ensure it will be available and working for the upcoming cooling season, as well.”
