Transitioning Your HVAC Unit from Winter to Summer: Essential Tips for Central Kentucky Homeowners

Writer's picture: Todd SparksTodd Sparks

As winter fades away and the promise of warmer days approaches, it's time to shift our focus from heating to cooling. Transitioning your HVAC unit from winter to summer is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency as the seasons change. Here at Sparks Heating and Air, we understand the unique climate challenges faced by Central Kentucky homeowners, and we're here to offer some essential tips to help you make a seamless transition.



  1. Schedule a Maintenance Check: Before the heat of summer kicks in, it's essential to have your HVAC system inspected by a professional. Our team at Sparks Heating and Air can perform a thorough maintenance check to ensure that your unit is in top condition. From checking refrigerant levels to cleaning coils and replacing filters, a maintenance check will help prevent breakdowns and ensure efficient operation throughout the summer months.

  2. Change Your Air Filters: Over the winter months, your HVAC system has been working hard to keep your home warm and cozy. Now is the perfect time to replace your air filters to ensure proper airflow and indoor air quality. Clogged filters can restrict airflow and strain your system, leading to decreased efficiency and potential breakdowns. Regularly changing your air filters is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain your HVAC system.

  3. Adjust Your Thermostat Settings: As temperatures rise, it's time to adjust your thermostat settings for optimal comfort and energy savings. Consider investing in a programmable or smart thermostat that allows you to create customized cooling schedules based on your lifestyle and preferences. Programming your thermostat to raise the temperature when you're away from home can help reduce energy usage and lower your utility bills.

  4. Clean Your Outdoor Unit: Over the winter, your outdoor HVAC unit may have accumulated debris such as leaves, dirt, and grass clippings. Clearing away this debris and ensuring adequate airflow around the unit is essential for optimal performance. If you are comfortable, you can use a garden hose to gently clean the exterior of the unit, being careful not to damage delicate components. If you notice any signs of damage or wear, don't hesitate to contact our team for professional assistance.

  5. Consider Upgrading Your System: If your HVAC system is older or experiencing frequent issues, now might be the perfect time to consider upgrading to a more energy-efficient model. Newer HVAC systems offer advanced features such as variable-speed motors, enhanced filtration, and programmable thermostats, which can help improve comfort and reduce energy costs in the long run. Our team can help you explore your options and choose the right system for your home and budget, and we do have financing options available!
