Do You Know If Your HVAC System Is Up to Code for Winter?

With the winter coming, you want to be sure your HVAC system is up to code. By being aware of current building codes, you ensure your HVAC system is operating at its best, and you also help prevent any future issues. An up-to-date system also makes any future home sales easier.

Keeping Your HVAC System Up to Code

• Where Your HVAC Components are Installed: For your HVAC equipment to be up to code, it has to be located in an area where it can be easily accessed. Accessibility is important for repair, maintenance, and upkeep. A professional will know where components need to be located for correct accessibility, because this differs depending on the part.
• Your AC’s Size: A key part of meeting homeowner building codes is having the correctly sized AC to match your home’s cooling needs. The load requirement varies depending on the size and layout of your residence. Getting the correctly sized AC unit is important, as a unit that is too small won’t be able to effectively cool your home, and one that is too large will be inefficient.
• Your Indoor and Outdoor Parts Need to Match: Your HVAC system has indoor components such as the air handler, and outdoor parts such as the condenser. Your indoor and outdoor HVAC components have to be designed to work together and have compatible settings. The brand names of your HVAC parts do not need to be the same, but the settings do need to match.
