And this year is no different. With summer on its way, it’s time to switch off the heat and flip on the air conditioner. But before you do that, Purvis Heating & Air Conditioning has a few tips to help you make sure your AC unit is ready to keep you cool.

3 Things to Do Before Turning Your Air Conditioner On

1. Inspect Outdoor Parts

It’s a good idea to regularly do an inspection of any elements of your air conditioner that are outside, especially after major weather events. Whether your area had the occasional frost or heavy winds, outdoor elements of your system may have been damaged.

2. Remove Protective Coverings

Maybe you’ve had trouble with the winter weather affecting your air conditioner in the past and invested in some condenser covers, coil blankets, or lids for your unit. If that is the case, make sure you remove these protective coverings before using your air conditioner. Forgetting about these can lead to severe damage to your unit.

3. Change the Filter

HVAC contractors recommend changing the filter in your air conditioner about every 90 days, making the changing of the seasons the perfect time to do so. Not only will this keep your HVAC system running smoothly, but it can also ensure the air circulating through your home is fresh and clean.
