Checking your air filters regularly and cleaning them or replacing them as required can help your HVAC performance and longevity.

Clear Debris From Outdoor Units
Due to their location, outdoor units are likely to catch all sorts of debris that can hamper HVAC performance. Clean all leaves, pollen, dirt, and sticks from the unit regularly, using gloves and a hose if needed.
