Optimize your comfort in Longueuil while maximizing the performance of your HVAC system
At AirGreen, we understand that installing a floor console unit is a major investment for homeowners in Longueuil. When properly maintained, this indoor unit ensures optimal thermal comfort for many years while reducing energy costs. But like all heating and air conditioning systems, a poorly maintained floor console can have a shortened lifespan, decreased efficiency, and lead to costly repairs. That’s why we’re sharing five proven tips to help you maintain comfort — while ensuring your console delivers peak performance.
The importance of proper HVAC maintenance for your floor console
A floor console unit installed in a residential or commercial setting in Longueuil often operates continuously, especially during extreme heat or cold spells. Without regular maintenance, the unit can accumulate dust, lose efficiency, and begin to overconsume energy. Our certified AirGreen technicians perform preventive maintenance every week across the South Shore, particularly in Longueuil, to optimize performance and extend the longevity of these systems.
Tip #1: Clean the filters every 30 to 60 days
This is one of the simplest yet most essential maintenance tasks. The air filters in your console capture dust, pollen, pet hair, and other particles in the air. When they become clogged, airflow is restricted, forcing the unit to work harder. This not only increases electricity consumption but also puts extra wear on the compressor.
AirGreen Tip: In Longueuil, where seasons shift dramatically, we recommend monthly filter cleaning during spring and fall, and every two weeks if you have pets or the unit runs continuously.
Tip #2: Schedule an annual inspection with an AirGreen expert
Even if you’re diligent with your console’s upkeep, some technical checks can only be performed by a certified professional. During an annual inspection, we check:
-
The condition of the fan and motor
-
The cleanliness of the evaporator
-
Proper defrosting function
-
Refrigerant levels (depending on the model)
-
The condensate drainage system
Real example in Longueuil: During a routine inspection at a home in the Vieux-Longueuil neighborhood, our technicians discovered a clogged drain line caused by mold buildup. A quick intervention prevented water damage and further unit deterioration.
Tip #3: Keep air vents clear and unobstructed
It’s common for furniture, curtains, or even children’s toys to partially block the air intake or outlet of the console. This obstruction disrupts natural airflow, reducing heating or cooling efficiency and putting extra stress on the system.
AirGreen Recommendation: Maintain at least 30 to 40 cm of clearance around the unit, both in front and above, to ensure optimal air distribution.
Tip #4: Use smart programming features
Many floor consoles, such as Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, or Daikin models, come with smart thermostats and programmable features. There’s no need to keep your home heated to 22°C when it’s empty.
AirGreen Installation Tip: If you don’t yet have a programmable thermostat, we can upgrade your system during your next service visit. This can reduce your energy use by 10 to 25% and lessen the load on your unit.
Tip #5: Watch for early warning signs of malfunction
Certain signs indicate that your floor console may need HVAC repairs:
-
Unusual noises (clicking, vibrating)
-
Odd smells during operation
-
Sudden temperature fluctuations
-
Visible water leaking under the unit
-
Air that’s not warm or cool enough
