Spring and summer will be here before you know it, which means your air conditioner will be getting used again. Ensuring that your system is ready for the season will keep your family comfortable as temperatures climb. The following preventative maintenance recommendations will keep your AC unit running smoothly all spring and summer long. 

Prepare for Warmer Weather With These Preventative Maintenance Tips

Do Your Spring Cleaning

The outdoor unit of your air conditioning system needs to be kept clear of leaves and tree limbs to function effectively. Clear any debris away from the unit so it can operate at peak efficiency. You can also reduce its energy use by planting shrubs or trees nearby to provide added shade.

Address Your Air Filter

This prevents excessive dust buildup, which reduces your air conditioner’s energy efficiency and lowers your indoor air quality. Be sure your unit is equipped with a new filter in time for spring.

Get a Professional Inspection

Professional preventative maintenance inspections go a long way in helping you avoid unpleasant surprises the first time you turn on your air conditioner. These tune-ups give technicians the opportunity to identify and correct potential issues before they get out of hand. Finding and fixing a leak or addressing compressor problems so the unit can blow cold air are just a few of the ways a professional inspection will keep you cool later on.
