The Other Half of the HVAC Needs Care as Well

The winter seems to get here quicker every year.

I’m grateful that I don’t have to remember to get the HVAC system serviced during the fall anymore.

In years past, I would call the HVAC company as soon as that first cold breeze was felt. Now, I have signed up for seasonal maintenance and the HVAC company has a key to my house so they just do their thing. It’s very convenient because I was really bad about remembering the appointments. The winter can be really tough where I live. This makes it a very clear priority to have reliable HVAC heating. Having the furnace break down can be a very challenging prospect in the middle of winter. There are situations where the HVAC man just would not be able to reach us to repair the furnace. That’s why I put so much stock into our wonderful HVAC people. They often remind me to pay attention to the other half of the HVAC system when it’s winter time. The condenser and compressor cabinet sits outside the house throughout the worst that winter has to offer. It’s quite important to be sure that this valuable piece of equipment is protected. I actually bought a big cover that fits right over the whole cabinet. This keeps the ice and snow off of the fan and the motor. It also protects the HVAC component from being damaged by falling icicles. We focus on the furnace during the winter. But, the other half of the HVAC deserves our attention as well.
