HVAC Summer Checklist

Summer is the perfect time of year to utilize the warm weather and clean every corner of the house, both inside and out. To ensure that your home HVAC system is in excellent working condition, check off this list of summer maintenance tasks that should be performed on your HVAC system annually. 

Clean Up the Area Around the HVAC Unit 

The most obvious place to start is the HVAC unit itself. The housing unit, which is located outside, can sometimes get dirty and become covered with debris. Every year, homeowners should take a look at their HVAC unit and at its immediate surroundings. The unit should remain clean and free from any surrounding objects, such as plants, garbage, animals, and more. Surrounding objects should maintain a clear radius of approximately two feet around the unit. This will ensure nothing will interfere with the HVAC unit, and also make it easier on service technicians during repairs and maintenance checks. In terms of the interior components, homeowners should regularly check vents, registers, and other HVAC components to ensure dirt and surrounding objects do not interfere with it. 

Replace Air Filters 

Now is the perfect opportunity to replace your air filters within the HVAC system. If homeowners do not commit to replacing their air filters regularly, they may become at risk of damaging their home’s HVAC system. Dirty air filters do a poor job of cleansing the air of any contaminants. So, instead of breathing in fresh clean air, home residents are forced to breathe in unfiltered air, which can lead to health conditions like allergies. Dirty filters may also cause your HVAC system to overwork itself, as it must work harder to push air throughout the house. This can lead to the wear and tear of your HVAC system, as well as expensive energy bills. 

Hire an HVAC Expert 

By following the above tips and tricks, homeowners can do a great job of maintaining their HVAC unit. But, it is important to keep in mind that there are still certain components that require professional help. This is where HVAC technicians come in handy. These technicians can thoroughly examine your HVAC system and come up with a full diagnostic report in less than 90 minutes. HVAC professionals can inspect the condition of your HVAC system, and whether certain components need to be repaired or replaced.

by Trevor Owens on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I returned from vacation to find my AC unit on the Fritz. After calling way too many places I connected with TwinTech. I’ve used the company in the past for my furnace so I was happy when I recognized Greg at my front door. He’s great and the service is always top notch. I’d highly recommend using twintech for honest, superior service in the Durham region. Thanks!

by Nicole Alain on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I called Twin Tech when my air conditioning stopped working. Greg came over to diagnose the issue - the same day. He was able to diagnose the issue and resolve it quite quickly. Although it was a quick fix, Greg was very thorough in explaining the issue and provided great advice. Not to mention, I felt very comfortable having Greg in my home - which I consider very important when hiring a service provider. Twin Tech will be my go-to from now on. Thank you!!

by Colin Vernon on Twintech Heating and Cooling

They've cleaned my furnace a couple of times and mentioned that the hot water tank standards were going to change soon so I decided to change mine out.

There were a few challenges during the process but the installers handled the problems without missing a stride! I now have really hot water again!

by Heidi B on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Bob and Greg made us feel comfortable withe process through their thorough explanation and knowledge of the right furnace for our needs.

Customer service and knowledge is priority in this industry, and Twintech has it. I've dealt with their team for maintenance and a furnace replacement. They're accommodating and make great recommendations, and came through at a great price over the big guys in the industry. They'll be my next call when I need service or maintenance.

by Leonard Glass on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I decided that the noises and age of the existing furnace which was old and not very efficient to replace it. Gave Greg a call and Grant and Greg got to work on it. Because of supply issues with the current heating type that would be an easier install Greg convinced me to change the location of the system and it would provide me better service for heat and efficiency. I had skeptical but went ahead anyway putting trust in Greg And Grant. Greg, Grant and Mitch came through and in 2 days had completely relocated my heating and A/C system. I can honestly say Greg was right my old house has been warmer and more evenly heated as it ever was. For anyone reading this rather long winded review can take my word for it, Twin Tech can take care of your needs.
