Spring Cleaning is a Good Time to Evaluate Your Home HVAC System

By Megan Mayes

As springtime quickly approaches us, there are a few things we can always count on: warmer days and spring cleaning. Did you know that these things that normally lift our spirits can also bring down our air quality? Spring is the perfect time to think about improving your home air quality. Home projects, AC units in need of maintenance, and pollen and other plant allergens introduce extra contaminants into your home air system. The hard-working professionals of Unique Heating and Air Conditioning want to help you make sure your HVAC system is ready to run at its best.

Almost all of the air in your home enters through your HVAC system, so it is important to have it regularly inspected and serviced. This includes your heating system, air conditioning, duct work, and thermostat. An annual inspection by a professional is recommended by Unique Heating and Air Conditioning, but you can always start by changing your air filters. You may also need maintenance for air quality and system efficiency if you notice higher than normal electricity bills.

As we head into our warmest Colorado months, your AC unit should be inspected and cleaned to make sure that it is functioning properly. You might also consider replacing your system for a newer model if it is about 15 years old or if it has been frequently repaired. This can improve air quality in your home, but will have the most significant impact on system efficiency. With a new and efficient HVAC system, your house will be better prepared to control humidity and air intake.

Unique Heating and Air Conditioning recommends electronic air cleaners, UV lights, humidifiers, and duct cleaning as options for improving indoor air quality. An air cleaner can be installed directly into your existing HVAC system. With this addition, you can remove up to 94% of pollen, dirt, dust, fungi, and other particles from the air in your home. Another option is an ultraviolet light cleaner, which kills viruses, bacteria, mold, and other volatile organic compounds. These supplemental system installations and duct cleanings are easily performed by the Unique Heating and Air Conditioning team of licensed experts.

Get ahead of your indoor air quality this spring by contacting an HVAC professional to schedule an inspection and maintenance appointment. You can breathe easier (literally!) when you know your air is coming in cleaner and cooler.
