Winter Safety Check – Protecting Your HVAC System from the Snow
March 21, 2024
As the winter retreats, it’s crucial to prepare your air conditioning system for the warmer months ahead. Here are some essential steps to ensure your system runs efficiently throughout the summer:
- Uncover Your Condenser: Start by removing any covers from your outside condenser (A/C unit). Clear away leaves, excess mulch, and debris that have accumulated during the fall and winter seasons.
- Inspect the Line Set: Check the insulation around the copper line set. It’s vital that the insulation is intact to prevent energy loss and protect the lines. If you notice any damage, such as insulation being torn or worn out from weather exposure or sun damage, this can be easily fixed.
- Call in the Experts: Contact VICCARONE HVAC to re-wrap damaged insulation with new Armorflex, securing it tightly at the ends with tape. This prevents moisture and external elements from causing corrosion or creating pinholes in the copper line, which can lead to system failures.
- Consider Professional Maintenance: Regular check-ups can prevent common issues caused by environmental factors such as acid rain and debris, which might lead to corrosion or deterioration of the copper lines.
By following these steps, you can enhance the efficiency and longevity of your HVAC system. VICCARONE Heating and Air Conditioning is here to help you with expert services and ensure your system is ready for the heat.
