As temperatures start to rise, it’s time to make sure your air conditioner is ready for action. A seasonal AC tune-up can help prevent unexpected breakdowns, improve performance, and ensure the system can keep up during the hottest months. Knowing what to focus on ahead of spring and summer can make a noticeable difference in how well the system runs. Here are four key steps to take when preparing an AC system for the warmer seasons:
- Schedule a Tune-Up Early: Booking an AC tune-up before peak summer demand helps ensure the system is thoroughly inspected and serviced. A professional should look over everything including electrical components, refrigerant levels, and the overall system performance to identify potential issues before they turn into costly repairs.
- Replace the Air Filter: A clean air filter allows proper airflow and helps the system operate more efficiently. Replacing or cleaning the filter before turning your AC on will help improve indoor air quality and reduce strain on your system.
- Clear Debris Around the Outdoor Unit: Leaves, dirt, and debris can restrict airflow around the outdoor unit. After winter, it’s best to clear the area to improve your AC’s overall efficiency during hot weather.
- Test the Thermostat and System Controls: It’s important to test the thermostat for accurate temperature control and reliable operation. Confirming that the system cycles on and off correctly will help you maintain consistent comfort throughout the home.
