Maintenance

HVAC Maintenance Checklist for Mississippi Homeowners

In this climate the highest value maintenance items are condensate drainage, airflow, and outdoor coil cleanliness. Handle those three consistently and you prevent the majority of summer breakdowns.

Spring, before cooling season

  • Replace the filter and note the date
  • Clear grass, leaves, and mulch away from the outdoor unit
  • Rinse the outdoor coil gently with a garden hose
  • Confirm the condensate drain flows freely
  • Schedule a professional cooling tune up

Through the summer

  • Check the filter monthly during heavy run time
  • Watch for water near the indoor unit or stains on ceilings below an attic unit
  • Listen for new noises at startup, which often precede a capacitor failure
  • Keep the fan setting on auto to avoid re evaporating moisture off the coil

Fall, before heating season

  • Replace the filter again
  • Run the heat briefly on a mild day so a failure is discovered before you need it
  • Schedule a heating inspection, including combustion checks on gas equipment
  • Test carbon monoxide alarms in homes with any combustion appliance

Frequently asked questions

Can I pressure wash my outdoor coil?

No. High pressure bends the delicate aluminum fins and permanently reduces airflow through the coil. Use a garden hose with normal household pressure, spraying from the inside out where accessible.
