Raleigh’s Leading AC Preparations: Stay Cool Before the Heat Arrives
As summer quickly approaches, Raleigh homeowners know all too well the sweltering heat that comes with it. Ensuring your air conditioner is ready to keep your home cool isn’t just a luxury — it’s a necessity. It’s time to get proactive with prepping your AC so you can enjoy the warmth of summer from the comfort of your home, minus the sweat and stress.
The Importance of Pre-Season AC Maintenance
Maintaining your air conditioner isn’t simply a matter of comfort; it’s a vital aspect of ensuring energy efficiency and reducing long-term repair costs. According to industry reports, regular maintenance can reduce the risk of a costly breakdown by as much as 95%.
Experts indicate that a well-maintained AC can retain up to 95% of its original efficiency, directly impacting your energy bills — perfect for summer, when your unit is working overtime.
What AC Preparations Should You Consider?
1. Scheduling a Professional Inspection
Our technicians emphasize the importance of getting your AC inspected by professionals who will identify any underlying issues before they get worse. As one satisfied customer, Viola G., noted, a system check allowed them to address a part under warranty, preventing future costs[6].
2. Cleaning & Replacing Filters
One of the simplest yet most crucial tasks is cleaning or replacing your AC filters regularly. Clogged filters can significantly reduce the efficiency of your unit. During a recent maintenance check, Oscar, an Air Experts technician, stressed the importance of this routine task to maintain system longevity[1].
3. Checking Thermostat Settings
Adjust your thermostat settings to maximize energy savings during the summer. Consider a programmable thermostat if you don’t already have one, which can help reduce energy costs when you’re not home.
4. Clearing the Surrounding Area
Make sure the area around your outdoor unit is free of debris and plants, which can obstruct airflow and reduce efficiency. This was exemplified by Daniel, a technician who went the extra mile by cleaning the outside unit, a step that the customer didn’t expect but appreciated[2].
