Things like reduced airflow, grinding, thumping, or buzzing sounds are a sure sign something is not right. Also be on the lookout for puddles around your unit and any issues with your thermostat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change Those Filters<\/strong> &#8211; One of the easiest ways to avoid needing HVAC repair and improving performance is changing your air filters. Roughly every 30 to 90 days you should change your filters. Clogged filters are a very common source for issues with your HVAC system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take Care of Outside Unit<\/strong> &#8211; Make sure you do not forget about your outside unit! It is vitally important to make sure your outdoor unit is free of any dirt or debris. Also, make sure the unit has plenty of clear space around it, you do not want bushes or shrubs growing too close.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vacuum Your Vents<\/strong> &#8211; Use your vacuum cleaner to get rid of dust and dirt buildup on the vents in your rooms. This sort of buildup can really impact air flow and quality. Be sure to contact a professional if you notice reduced airflow.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_Is_Critical_to_Schedule_Annual_Maintenance\"><\/span>It Is Critical to Schedule Annual Maintenance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/steps-avoid-hvac-repair-2-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"Maintenance Steps to Avoid Needing HVAC Repair\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-8226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/steps-avoid-hvac-repair-2-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/steps-avoid-hvac-repair-2.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Annual maintenance checkups are a fact of life for most homeowners.
