Protect Your HVAC Unit From Fireworks This Fourth of July
During Independence Day, you're likely thinking about spending time with family and friends. One key part of most celebrations are fireworks. They can provide entertainment for the whole family. If the party is going to be at your house this year, you can damage your HVAC system. You need to be proactive in protecting your HVAC unit from any damage during the festivities.
Be Mindful of Your HVAC Unit
One of the best ways to keep your HVAC unit safe is to ensure that the festivities don't take place near it. You don't want people placing drinks on your HVAC unit or debris from your party ending up inside of it. It's best to try and plan to have your guests in another area of your yard that is far away from your HVAC unit.
Clean Up Debris
By using the suggestion above, you shouldn't have any debris on your HVAC unit from the fireworks. But, outdoor elements can pose a risk to your HVAC unit when it comes to getting clogged with debris. Any firework debris that isn't picked up can end up in your HVAC unit. This can lead to you having to call an HVAC professional to repair the damage to your system.
Check Over Your HVAC Unit
Once the fireworks and festivities are over, it's a good idea to give your HVAC unit a check over. You may find that some of the firework debris actually landed inside of the unit's fan or on its coils. You want to remove any debris as it could lead to damage to your HVAC unit.
Replace Your HVAC Air Filter
While fireworks can look very pretty in the sky, they can wreak havoc on indoor air quality. Most fireworks let off harmful particulate matter. This can enter your home through windows and doors. Don't allow these harmful particles to get trapped inside of your home. To prevent this issue, it's a great idea to invest in a good air filter for your HVAC system. This can trap those particles and prevent them from circulating in your home.
