With summer in full swing, your building’s air conditioning is the office MVP. To make sure it stays that way it’s helpful to show it a little appreciation in the form of preventive maintenance after all the work it’s been put through. Here are three easy summer AC maintenance tips to ensure your office is comfortable all the way to fall.

How to Help the Office AC Finish Summer Strong

1. Change the Filters

While your AC’s working hard to keep the temperature down, it’s also filtering the air coming in. Unlike your home, the doors of your business open and close frequently throughout the day. Each and every time this happens, it’s a chance for dirt, dust, and pollen to get in. Air filters should be changed on a monthly basis to ensure they don’t become clogged.

2. Clean the Unit 

This is all contingent upon where your AC unit is located. If the unit is inside or outside on the ground, you can do some quick cleanup. Take a few minutes to sweep away any leaves or debris that have accumulated around it. Remove anything that may have found its way into the vents. If you have a rooftop unit, leave it for an AC maintenance professional to take care of during their routine maintenance. 

3. Schedule Routine Maintenance

August is often the hottest month of the year, and the worst possible time for the AC to stop working. An HVAC technician will go through and make sure your ducts and drains are clear while checking refrigerant levels and wiring. They can also clean around your rooftop unit and lubricate or replace belts. During AC maintenance, the technician can give you an accurate picture of your AC’s health so you’ll know if there’s anything that needs to be addressed to prevent any unpleasant surprises.
