The hottest months of the year are approaching. It’s time for swimming, boating, lounging by the pool, and all of the other fun outdoor adventures you’ve been waiting for all year.
But sometimes, you want to beat the heat and relax in the AC. Here’s how you can make sure your AC and all of its components are prepared for the summer.
First Things First: Schedule a Routine Inspection
Don’t wait until something goes wrong with your AC to have it looked at!
Let’s look at a few of the most important reasons to schedule your yearly AC inspection:
An Inspection Keeps Your Family and Your Home Safe
Your air conditioning is a complex system that carries significant risks if not taken care of correctly. A faulty AC can result in carbon monoxide problems, fires, and gas leaks that could put your family and your home in harm’s way.
Don’t take the chance! Schedule a routine inspection before it’s time to kick on your AC for the season.
Keep the Temperature (and Your Bills!) Low
If your AC is overworking due to disrepair or parts that need to be replaced, the temperature in your home as well as your energy bills will be scorching. The harder your AC is working, the more wear and tear for the unit and its components, which means the problems will just compound.
Scheduling your routine inspection and maintenance ensures that everything is working as it should and helps keep those energy bills in check.
Hide Out, Cool Off
Summertime get-togethers are great, but sometimes your social battery wears out, or sometimes you just don’t want to stick it out under the summer sun. That’s where the magic of air conditioning comes in.
A routine inspection can help you avoid any issues that would jeopardize the peaceful, relaxing indoor oasis during the hottest months of the year.
What Kinds of AC Maintenance Can You DIY?
So, you want to keep your air conditioning operating at peak performance while you’re waiting for your inspection. There are plenty of repairs and maintenance that should only be left to the professionals, but there are four things that you can do on your own to ensure your AC is running smoothly.
Remove Debris from Your AC Unit
As summer approaches, it’s essential to clear out any debris that may have been collected in your outdoor unit over the winter and spring seasons. Leaves, dirt, and other debris can obstruct your AC’s airflow, resulting in overheating and other problems.
Keep Your Filters Clean
Dirty filters can cause your air conditioning system to work harder than necessary, leading to decreased efficiency and increased energy bills. Regularly cleaning or replacing your filters is the easiest way to ensure your AC is operating at its best and maintaining good indoor air quality during allergy season.
Maintain Your Condenser Coils
Dirty condenser coils can cause blockages and overheating, which can result in significant problems with your HVAC system. Regular cleaning of your condenser coils can help ensure your system is running smoothly and prevent any issues from occurring.
Check Your Thermostat
Although it’s one of the smallest components, having a working thermostat is key to keeping you cool! Replace your batteries, and check to make sure that your buttons are clean and functioning properly.
