SPRING INTO SUMMER WITH HVAC MAINTENANCE

Temperatures are getting warmer in Saskatchewan. The last thing you want is to have to replace your air conditioner in the middle of summer. Before those warmer days arrive, ensure your HVAC unit is ready for the new season by following these maintenance tips.

1. Remove the Cover and Clean The HVAC Unit

First on the list is the outside unit. Ensure it is turned off, then remove the cover from the unit. Next, you will want to remove leaves and debris that have accumulated around the unit throughout the winter months. Last, do a visual inspection of the unit. If the unit appears damaged, do not turn on the unit until you have had it checked by a professional.

2. Check The Refrigerant Line

On the outside of the unit, you will notice refrigerant lines leading into your home. The larger line is called the suction line. To ensure the air stays cool, the suction line is wrapped in insulation. Check the insulation for cracks or spots that are worn. If insulation is worn, it will need to be replaced. Without proper insulation, your unit will not function effectively nor cool your home efficiently. Each spring, be sure to check the refrigerant line as failing to do so could result in your unit freezing up.

3. Change The Furnace Filter

To distribute cool air throughout your home, your HVAC system uses your furnace’s air filter. If the filter is dirty, your system will have to work harder to supply cold air throughout your home. Since an air filter traps dust, pollen, and other allergens, a dirty filter will result in these allergens being spread throughout your ducts. Changing your furnace filter improves air quality and will ensure your HVAC system is functioning effectively.

4. Ensure The Thermostat Is Working

Not only do you need to check your HVAC unit, but you also need to check your thermostat. Set your thermostat to cool and test your system. Program the thermostat 4-5 degrees lower than room temperature. It may take a few minutes, but you should be able to feel the cool air blowing in. If not, it is time to call in the professionals.

5. Book Your Spring HVAC Maintenance Appointment

Following these tips will help ensure your HVAC system is ready so you can spring into the summer months with ease. However, booking a tune-up is recommended as there may be problems that only a trained technician can recognize. Book your spring maintenance appointment to ensure your HVAC system is fully prepared before the Saskatchewan summer arrives!

Even though Gibbon Heating & Air Conditioning has been around for over four decades here in Saskatoon, Brent Badrock has only been the sole owner since 2018 when the opportunity he had always dreamed of came calling... to own his own business. Brent, who was a dispatcher with Gibbon for over five years, knew that if he was running the business he would work hard to make it even more successful and truly put his stamp of honesty and integrity into everything they do. His wife DawneIn talking to Brent, he had mentioned that it’s sometimes tough to be a shining light in an industry that has many dishonest contractors out there who are always trying to upsell the customer and don’t operate with the customer's best interest at heart.

" Brent and The Gibbon team deserve the great reputation they have earned. I have used their servcies many times over the last 10 years and have been impressed at their passionate support of the community.

Helping fundraise for various other causes Brent’s always willing to lend a hand. He’s even helped out with the Cancer Society for years and has participated in the Jail n’ Bail Fundraiser as well.

The ‘Gibbon Gives Back’ brand was created by our Trusted graphic designers, and we donated it to Gibbon’s so they could bring a more local feel to the International Lennox Feel the Love Campaign. This is an annual campaign where Gibbon and Lennox request nominations of local people in dire need of a new furnace. Brent from Gibbon regularly adds more to the donation, with extra services, and has even provided a new water heater. These are just some of the many ways Gibbon Gives Back.
