Hey there! One of the easiest and most important DIY maintenance tasks for your HVAC system is to regularly change the air filters. This simple step helps to keep your system running efficiently by ensuring proper airflow and maintaining good indoor air quality. Make it a habit to check and replace your air filters every 1-3 months, depending on usage, to keep your HVAC system in top condition.

Hey there! I've found a couple of DIY maintenance tasks really helpful for keeping my HVAC system running smoothly. First off, regularly replacing air filters is super important – it helps with air quality and keeps everything running efficiently. I also make sure to clean the outdoor unit and clear any debris around it to prevent airflow issues.

I also try to schedule professional maintenance at least once a year to catch any potential issues early on. It's been a game-changer for keeping my home comfortable year-round!

I annually clean the evaporator and condenser coils. Dirty coils can reduce the system's efficiency. You may try to use a coil cleaner and follow their manufacturer guidelines. I also ensure that the condensate drain line is clear of clogs. I use a mixture of water and bleach to flush the line and prevent algae or mold growth.
