HVAC Problems To Look Out For This Summer

As a Colorado homeowner, you rely on your HVAC system throughout the year.

It’s essential to be on the lookout for potential HVAC problems with your heating and cooling system during each season, so in today’s post, we’ll explain four common HVAC problems you might experience this year.

Look Out for the Following HVAC Problems

Clogged Filter

Changing a filter is an easy task.

The filters in your heater and A/C unit are to prevent dust, dirt, and other particles from damaging your system and from circulating your home.

When the filter becomes clogged, it compromises your HVAC system’s airflow and can even lead to damaged components. Aim to change the filters in your heater and A/C unit at least every three months.

Poor Air Circulation 

The air produced by your HVAC system has to travel through your home’s ventilation system before it makes its way into each room.

If some rooms in your home heat or cool much faster than others, then the problem is likely due to a problem duct.

There may be a blockage preventing the air from reaching individual rooms, or there could be a leak that needs to be repaired.

Overheating

Is your HVAC system shutting down frequently? Many newer units turn themselves off when they become too hot, leading to uncomfortable conditions inside your home.

Overheating is often caused by a broken mechanical component, but a clogged air filter can also contribute to problems with temperature regulation.

Old Age

Your HVAC system is a lot like your car in the sense that no matter how well you take care of it, at some point, the decision to replace it will be financially smarter than paying for repairs.

If your HVAC system is more than 15 years old, or if you’ve had to invest in unexpected HVAC repairs several times in recent months, then it’s worth weighing your options.
