But how does lawn care affect your outdoor HVAC  units? Here’s how.

1. There is a higher chance that your fan blades will get damaged if you’re not taking care of your lawn. The fan helps in pumping air through the system in keeping your home cool. If you’re not cleaning your yard, the twigs and branches that scatter around your lawn will fall down into the air conditioning unit. Once the fan blade spins, there is a possibility that they will strike the twigs causing damage to the blades. 

You can fix this by removing the debris but if the damage gets worse, you need a total replacement of your air conditioning unit. Our HVAC installation contractors are the ones who will work for you, whether you are looking for a simple filter change, repairs to a broken system or a maintenance visit. 

2. Your air conditioning unit must have a proper circulation to provide its purpose, to keep cold and nice air inside your home. If you have tall grass, brush, and debris around your lawn, these can limit your unit’s air intake. This is one factor why cooling air is prevented. 

In order to maintain proper cold air from your unit, you need to cut and trim your lawn. Avoid brush from growing closer to your unit. Make sure no debris is around it. 

3. Monitor the condition of the concrete around your home if you want to get a well-maintained HVAC unit. Make sure your concrete slab won’t shift or tilt where your exterior unit is usually placed. But where does the damage come from? Improper watering and other poor lawn may cause greater damage to your unit. 

If you notice any issue with your concrete slab, call a concrete expert immediately. Your unit will be more at risk if this is not raised right away.
