Your HVAC equipment needs [annual maintenance](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/air-conditioner-maintenance-spring-to-do-list.html) to keep it running efficiently. This helps reduce repair costs and prolongs the life of the system. - Check and replace your [air filters](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/know-change-home-air-filter.html). This is something you should do every month. However, if your A/C is separate from your heating, you may not have checked the A/C filter since last fall. Now is the time to do it. - Make sure the drain hole is not plugged. Under your inside A/C unit, you will find a drain hole where moisture escapes. If that hole gets plugged, it could overflow causing damage to your home. - Clear any debris or dirt from around outside units. Dirt, fallen leaves, weeds and trash can clog the airflow going into and out of the unit. It is also important to make sure no plants are growing too close. Airflow is critical for it to run efficiently. - Clean vents and registers. It is very easy for dust and other particulates to cling to the fins on vents and registers. You can use a soft cloth or brush to remove any built-up dust. This helps keep air flowing. - Have your [ductwork cleaned](https://bc.rodenhiser.com/rodenhiser-blog/ducts-metrowest-boston-home-need-cleaning-repair.html). If you see a shower of dust coming out of your vents when your heating or cooling turns on, you need to have your duct work cleaned. This will help improve indoor air quality year round. Spring cleaning your HVAC system will only take a short amount of time. However, it is time well spent in making sure it will work as the warmth of summer arrives.
