1. Change your HVAC air filters.

Your air filters should be changed regularly, and spring’s arrival is the perfect opportunity to clean or replace them. These filter small particles like dust, pollen and pet dander out of your home’s air. Because of this, filters are especially important to replace if someone in your home suffers from allergies.

How often should you change your air filter?

We recommend changing your air filters every one to three months, depending on need and use. If you use disposable air filters, replace them completely, and if you use reusable ones, simply wash them out.

2. Clean your HVAC units and system.

Cleaning your HVAC system in both the spring and fall maintains its overall health. It’s better to do some light, routine cleaning than let your equipment deteriorate and ultimately need a replacement. Clean debris and leaves away from your system's outdoor unit and make sure it has at least 1 foot of space between it and any surrounding bushes, trees, flowers, walls, fences or shrubs to promote optimal air flow.
