Hello June!

Is Your Air Conditioning Ready for Summer?

​

With summer just around the corner, it's time to ensure your air conditioning system is prepared to handle the upcoming heat. As temperatures rise, a well-functioning AC unit becomes essential for maintaining comfort in your home. Here are a few key steps to ensure your system is ready for the season:

​

1. Check and Replace Filters

Dirty filters can significantly reduce the efficiency of your air conditioning unit. Make it a habit to check and replace your filters regularly, ideally every one to three months, to maintain optimal airflow and performance.

​

2. Clean the Coils

The evaporator and condenser coils in your air conditioning unit can accumulate dirt over time. This dirt reduces the coils' ability to absorb heat, which can lead to inefficiency. Cleaning the coils annually helps maintain the system's efficiency.

​

3. Inspect the Thermostat

Ensure your thermostat is functioning correctly and is set to a comfortable temperature. Consider upgrading to a programmable thermostat, which can automatically adjust the temperature based on your schedule, saving energy and reducing costs.

​

4. Check the Refrigerant Level

An incorrect refrigerant level can lead to inefficiencies and potential damage to your AC unit. If you suspect an issue, it's best to have a professional inspect and refill the refrigerant if necessary.

​

5. Schedule a Professional Maintenance Check

Having a professional inspect and maintain your air conditioning system can help identify and resolve potential issues before they become major problems. Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your unit and improve its performance.
