5 Tips to Get Your AC System Ready for Cooling Season
Now that warmer weather has arrived and spring is right around the corner, here are some essential tips to prepare your AC unit for effective, efficient cooling:
- Clean or Replace Air Filters Dust and debris can accumulate in your air filters, reducing airflow and efficiency. Inspect the filters and clean or replace them as necessary. For most systems, it’s recommended to do this every 1-3 months.
- Check the Outdoor Unit The outdoor condenser unit should be free of obstructions. Clear away leaves, dirt, and other debris around the unit. A clean condenser can enhance airflow and ensure your AC operates at peak performance.
- Inspect Ductwork and Vents Check your home’s ductwork for signs of leaks, blockages, or damage. Make sure vents are clean and not obstructed by furniture or other items.
- Test the Thermostat Ensure your thermostat is functioning properly. Consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat for better control and energy savings.
- Schedule a Professional Tune-Up While there are many tasks you can do yourself, hiring an HVAC professional like Burkhardt for a spring tune-up is highly recommended. A professional can thoroughly inspect your system, check refrigerant levels, and address any potential issues.
By following these simple steps, you can help your air conditioning system run more efficiently and enjoy cool, comfortable days all spring and summer long.
