Why We Recommend Having Your System Cleaned Twice A Year
The equipment manufacturers, electric & gas providers and Peaden certainly encourage preventative maintenance of central air conditioning and heating equipment. Peak efficiency, maximum system capacity, extended equipment life, lower energy costs and better indoor air quality are the major items of importance and consideration.
In the vast majority of residential HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) systems, the air handler/furnace unit (or evaporator section) is designed for year-round operation in either the air conditioning or heating mode. After extended usage, this part of the system accumulates dust, dirt, debris, slime, algae and possibly more. Unless inspected, cleaned and tuned-up on a periodic basis, problems such as water leaks, freezing up/icing, restricted airflow, excessive moisture and premature rusting can be common occurrences. If not properly maintained, the additional and unnecessary strain on the equipment can result in higher utility/energy expenses.
Although most homeowners regularly change or clean the filter(s), this procedure does not ensure cleanliness beyond that point. Dirt and dust accumulate in the evaporator coil, blower wheel, blower housing, heat exchanger and strip heater(s) because even the best of filters are not capable of filtering all the minute particles in the indoor air. Since the air conditioning process involves moisture removal, the water is collected in the evaporator section and normally drained outside. However, the excessive moisture in this part of the system actually promotes the dirt and dust build-up. Unless all these parts are cleaned periodically, the dirt and dust build-up just continues to develop until problems with the equipment operation are noticed - usually not enough air flow and/or cooling, water leaks, freezing up/icing, etc. Additionally, the condenser coil (normally located outside) can be affected by grass clippings, dirt, sand and/or insects, which will cause temperature problems.
Your air conditioning and heating system(s) was a major investment on your part and a little care can save you money as well as unnecessary and sometimes costly breakdowns and repairs. Since the equipment operates in both the heating and cooling modes, it makes sense to have it cleaned as early in the spring/summer and fall/winter seasons as possible. All types of HVAC comfort systems should be regularly checked and cleaned with no exceptions!
