In line with our Spring Cleaning HVAC advice, here is how you change your indoor air filter:

1. Check the coil “condensate” drain: This drain, which is usually plastic, is located on the indoor air handler and is used to remove the moisture collected from the humid air in your home while the air conditioner is running. Since the coil’s temperature is lower than the ambient air, water from the air will condense on the coil and drip into the tray below. This condensed water needs to flow to a drain or the tray will fill up and flood the unit or potentially spill water out below your indoor unit and into your home which could cause a costly mess in a finished area.

Warm weather is right around the corner.  As temperatures rise, your HVAC system is the last thing that you want to have on your mind.  Here are 5 tips to help get you ready for Spring. 

Schedule a Seasonal Tune-Up
This tip is as simple as making a phone call to an air conditioning repair or installation or heating repair or installation contractor in Corinth, MS and the surrounding area, and scheduling a preventive maintenance appointment. Your system will run more efficiently this spring and summer and will be less likely to break down on a hot summer day. 

Did you know that 65% of home energy use is consumed by water heaters and HVAC systems? With Earth Day right around the corner now’s the time to include HVAC maintenance in your spring cleaning schedule in order to keep those systems running efficiently. Check out some easy maintenance tasks you can do to keep your system running and avoid costly issues.

Here are four benefits to having your AC unit tuned up for the Spring.

1)  Lower Energy Bills – Just because you haven't noticed an apparent problem doesn't mean your unit can't benefit from a tune-up. Over time, a system that isn't being maintained will lose efficiency and it will require more energy to keep your home comfortable. Servicing the unit once a year will keep it at peak efficiency and help keep energy costs down.

In 1903, Niels Finsen won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his use of ultraviolet light in the treatment of tuberculosis. Since then, ultraviolet lights have been widely adapted for all kinds of uses: sterilizing hospitals, sterilizing water, germicidal lamps in food establishments, and even curing nail polish faster. If UV light is so effective, how can it be applied to improving indoor air quality for residential HVAC systems? Will it kill mold and bacteria in HVAC systems? Yes, but you need to understand the priorities of indoor air quality and the types of UV lights available for residential HVAC systems.

If you know a little building science, you've no doubt seen a lot of problems that occur with air distribution systems. Ducts just don't get anywhere near the attention they deserve in most homes, partly because they're hidden from view. I've written about ducts quite a bit here and have shown problems resulting from poor design and installation. We all know how stupid some of those problems are. So today I'm going to talk about a problem that seems to be invisible: the inadequacy of duct insulation even when the design and installation are perfect.

Each year, hundreds of people are killed and thousands hospitalized by exposure to carbon monoxide — an invisible, odorless gas that can seep into homes from faulty furnaces or poorly ventilated generators.
