DIY Maintenance Tips

Simple things you can do yourself between professional visits — and the ones you should leave alone.

Safe for homeowners

  • Change filters on schedule and write the install date on the frame
  • Keep two feet of clearance around the outdoor unit; trim shrubs back
  • Rinse the outdoor coil gently with a garden hose (power off at the disconnect first)
  • Pour a cup of distilled vinegar into the condensate drain access twice a season
  • Vacuum supply and return registers, and don't close vents in unused rooms
  • Check that the thermostat isn't in direct sun or above a heat source
  • Replace thermostat batteries every fall before heating season

Leave these to a technician

  • Anything involving refrigerant — handling it without certification is illegal
  • Opening the electrical compartment of the furnace or air handler
  • Adjusting gas pressure or bypassing any safety switch
  • Cleaning the indoor evaporator coil or blower wheel
  • Duct sealing or duct modification inside walls and attics

If a system trips a breaker more than once, stop resetting it and call. Repeated resets on a failing motor or compressor turn a repair into a replacement.
