Here are some steps to help ensure your HVAC system is ready for the cold winter season ahead:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Turn off your system<\/strong>: The first step on how to winterize outdoor HVAC unit involves switching off your HVAC unit. You can do this by unplugging the unit from its power source or turning off the power at the circuit breaker. Most systems also have a power shutoff switch outside located near the unit. This is essential because it prevents the risk of electric shock while you are winterizing the HVAC unit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clean the unit and the coils:<\/strong> If dirt, dust, or debris has accumulated on the unit throughout the summer and fall season, make sure to clean it. Use a vacuum or broom to clean any debris. In addition to this, clean the coils using a brush or spray from your hose.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inspect the drain line<\/strong>: Make sure the drain line is not blocked. If the drain line is blocked, the water can freeze in the unit, causing damage to the HVAC system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Check the main components<\/strong>: Now is a great time to do some final system maintenance before the season comes to a close. Inspect the main components like the fans and ensure they are fault-free. In addition to this, check for signs of any wear and tear and if you find them, call a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/ask-an-hvac-technician\/\">HVAC technician<\/a> to address those problems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inspect gaps<\/strong>: Check for gaps in the unit that could allow pests to enter. If you find them, seal the gaps or openings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Schedule HVAC maintenance<\/strong>: Regular HVAC maintenance is necessary to prevent system breakdowns. A technician can perform a thorough checkup of the system, check the critical components, and will address any potential issues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clear the surroundings:<\/strong> Another important step when considering how to winterize your outdoor HVAC unit, it to make sure to clear the surroundings. Cut back and remove any over grown plants or shrubs. Throughout the winter, you should also keep your system clear from ice and snow build up. This helps in maintaining ventilation and preventing damage to the unit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cover the unit<\/strong>: Once the unit is clean and dry, use a cover specifically designed for HVAC and place the cover over the unit to prevent it from snow and ice. Make sure to purchase a cover that has breathable materials. While covering the unit, be sure not to wrap it tightly otherwise it can lead to ventilation issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Us_for_HVAC_Maintenance_Service_in_St_Louis\"><\/span>Contact Us for HVAC Maintenance Service in St. Louis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you are looking for a reliable and experienced HVAC maintenance company in the St Louis area, nothing beats Galmiche &amp; Sons.
