In this episode, we explore the crucial topic of regular service and maintenance for air conditioning and heating systems. We interact with Brandon Day from Daycool Heating and Air who provides invaluable insights into the importance of routine upkeep for these systems.

Many homeowners neglect servicing their HVAC system as they do their cars, waiting for an emergency to force them to seek help. However, this approach is ineffective and can even be detrimental. We liken this to ignoring regular dental checkups only to discover multiple cavities that could have been prevented through proper maintenance.

According to Brandon, a typical residential consumer should have his or her air conditioning system checked at least every six months. Specific conditions might necessitate more frequent checks and filter changes. On the upside, HVAC businesses offer automated reminders and scheduling services, making this task less burdensome for homeowners.

Regular checkups are beneficial in identifying potential issues before they escalate into major problems, particularly during hot summer or cold winter months. However, like the human body, an HVAC system can still break down unexpectedly despite regular checkups which, although not wholly preventable, can be minimized through routine maintenance.

We further discuss the significance of keeping track of refrigerant levels and checking for possible leaks, even during the heating season. Subsequently, we delve into the issues surrounding evaporator coils, noting how their quality has dwindled over the years, causing frequent failures. Unfortunately, these are usually replaced rather than repaired.

Finally, we discuss the impact of indoor air quality on your HVAC system and its direct correlation with household items that off-gas. As indoor air quality becomes questionable, stepping out for fresh air, and considering other solutions for improving indoor air quality become pivotal.

This episode serves as a reminder of the importance of regular HVAC system maintenance.
