Burton’s Reliable Heating And Air

🔴Keep the exterior of the unit free of debris throughout the year. Periodically, check the unit and remove any buildup of grass clippings, leaves, and other items. 🔴Do not allow vegetation to grow up on the unit. Remove any plants growing in the immediate area surrounding your unit. 🔴Keep a 2-foot clearance surrounding the unit to allow air to move freely through it. Do not plant shrubs, flowers, or do other landscaping against the unit. 🔴If installing fencing around the unit, keep a 2-foot clearance to allow access for service and repairs. Consider using an open design that will not restrict airflow to the unit. 🔴Check your gutters and keep them well maintained to prevent water from leaking into the outdoor air conditioning unit. 🔴Keep trees trimmed and remove dead branches to prevent a falling limb from damaging your outside air conditioning unit in a storm or heavy winds. 🔴If your outside air conditioning unit is within a fenced yard, keep gates locked to help deter theft. If your unit is visible on the side of the house, you may consider installing a surround or landscaping to hide the unit – just remember to leave at least 2 feet of space surrounding your outside air conditioner.

🔴Shut down your HVAC system to prevent debris from the cleaning process circulating throughout your home. 🔴With a vacuum or damp rag, clean away loose debris from the floor vent or register. Remove the AC duct vent from the floor, wall, or ceiling. Lay down a newspaper or towel, and place the dirty vent on top of it as you work to keep the area clean. 🔴Vacuum the exposed area within the vent to remove debris. Clean the air conditioning duct vent. Metal vents can be ran through the dishwasher. Hand wash plastic, wood, or painted vents. 🔴After the AC duct vent is dry, reinstall it securely.
