The warmer weather is here, and summer is on the way! If you haven’t started thinking about it yet, this is your chance to start checking your AC to make sure it’s ready to go when you really need it. Here are our tips for your air conditioning maintenance spring checklist:
- Clean the Area Around Your Unit: While you are doing your spring gardening, check your outdoor AC unit and clear any debris that may have accumulated around it. This helps to get the best performance from your system by maximizing air flow and preventing damage.
- Clean Vents: Check all the exterior and interior vents in your home to make sure they are free of dust, debris, or blockage. It’s best to keep them clean and clear so that they can keep air moving freely throughout your home, which distributes the cooler air evenly.
- Test on a Mild Day: Take advantage of mild weather to turn on your AC and make sure it works. You should feel cool air coming out of a register after a few minutes. If you do not feel any air, cool air, or notice any unusual sounds, turn off the system and call an HVAC technician for help.
- Schedule a Service Appointment: The great news is that you don’t have to manage air conditioning maintenance by yourself. Scheduling a service appointment with a professional technician will ensure that your system is thoroughly inspected, tuned, and taken care of so that you don’t have to worry when you turn down the thermostat.
Make your air conditioning maintenance a priority this spring, and you will be cool and comfortable all summer long!
