Spring Cleaning To Avoid AC Repair (1 of 2)

The arrival of Spring is the perfect time to have your AC system checked out so you can be ready for the rising temperatures headed our way.

Keep in mind a focus on maintenance now can prevent AC Repair down the road.

Part 1 below describes three significant To-dos to ensure your HVAC unit is in proper condition.

Replace Your Air Filters

How long has it been since you’ve changed your air filter? Snowbirds, if you’ve returned to your home this past Winter and haven’t thought about changing your air filter, here’s your sign!

Your air filter helps keep the air in your home nice and clean.

When it gets clogged with dust, debris, and allergens, those uninvited particles don’t just sit there…they begin to circulate throughout your home, initiating allergies, other upper respiratory issues, and leave your home feeling stale.

Also, a dirty air filter places unnecessary strain on the system and makes your unit work harder. This can result in an unexpected call for AC Repair.

Pro Tip: Replace your filter. If you have a typical 1-inch filter, we recommend replacing it every month. A 5-inch filter doesn’t need to be changed as often.

Clear Debris Around Your Outdoor Unit

Your outdoor condenser needs proper airflow to operate efficiently. Leaves, dirt, and landscaping debris can accumulate around the unit, restricting the flow of air and forcing your AC to work harder.

Your system wants to please you, so it will work diligently to keep you cool; however, this is not always a good thing – it can potentially lead to higher utility bills and calls for AC Repair.
