Well, we made it through the freeze, Central Texas! Now that things are finally starting to thaw out, it’s a good idea to give your HVAC system a little "how ya doin'?" check. Extreme cold can be tough on equipment, and catching small issues now prevents big headaches later.
Here’s a quick checklist for your post-freeze walkthrough:
👂 Listen close: Any new banging, squealing, or grinding sounds? Those aren't just "winter blues": they could be a sign of a stressed motor or iced-up components.
👀 Look for leaks: As ice melts, keep an eye on your indoor unit and the surrounding floor. If you see water where it shouldn't be, something might have cracked or clogged during the freeze.
👃 Sniff around: If you notice a burning smell or anything unusual when the heat kicks on, give it a rest and get it checked out.
💨 Check the flow: Make sure your vents are actually blowing warm air. If it feels weak, your system might be struggling to recover.
