5 Proven AC Maintenance Tips for Staying Cool This Summer
Picture this: a hot summer Sunday, the sun blaring outside, and your air conditioner suddenly fails. This was the scenario for Ashlie W., but thanks to the quick and professional service from Air Experts, she was saved from the sweltering heat in just one visit. [5] We’ve compiled some vital AC maintenance tips to help ensure your AC unit runs smoothly this summer.
The Importance of Regular AC Maintenance
Having routine maintenance performed on your AC unit is like giving your car regular oil changes—it keeps everything running smoothly and can prevent serious issues down the line. Customers like Joe H. found that regular maintenance provided consistently great service with no issues during peak times. A well-maintained unit is not only more efficient but also prolongs the life of the system.
Key AC Maintenance Tips for Keeping Your System Healthy
1. Schedule Regular Professional Check-Ups
Even if your AC seems to be running fine, issues can be lurking that only a professional can spot. Every spring or early summer, have a technician perform a complete diagnostic check. At Air Experts, for example, we offer comprehensive maintenance plans that customers like Seth L. find invaluable, often tuning and maintaining systems so they look and function like new.
2. Clean or Replace Air Filters Monthly
Clogged filters can drastically reduce an AC system’s efficiency. Make it a habit to check your filters monthly and replace them as needed. Many satisfied customers, such as William M., have noted the significant difference made by regular maintenance and filter changes.
3. Clear Debris from Around Units
Keep the area around your outdoor unit free of leaves, dirt, and debris. Such obstacles can block proper airflow and lead to overheating. During a visit, Chuck B. noted how the technician not only performed the AC maintenance but also cleared the coils of debris, improving efficiency and saving energy.
4. Inspect the Thermostat
A thermostat that isn’t calibrated correctly can prevent your AC from maintaining the set temperature accurately. Upgrading to a smart thermostat can help regulate temperatures more effectively, resulting in lower electricity bills.
5. Check the Drain Line
The drain line can become clogged with dirt and debris, causing backups and potential water damage. It’s crucial to inspect this periodically and ensure it is clear. Vincent T. from Air Experts was praised for his thorough approach, which included flushing lines to prevent future problems.
