We all want to stay cool during the summer! But before the weather really heats up, you need to take the time to make sure your air conditioning unit is working properly. Here are some tips to keep your air conditioner running efficiently:
- Have your condenser unit cleaned – Dust, leaves, and other debris keep your air conditioning from working effectively. If the cooling fans on the condenser unit get clogged, the output will be reduced – or your unit could stop working completely.
- Change your air filter – Before you turn on your air conditioning, replace the air filter. You should change your filter at least every three months. If you suffer from allergies or if you have pets, replacing your filter more often might be a good idea. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations on any filter you install.
- Have your ductwork inspected – Call an air conditioning repair service to inspect your ductwork. Ductwork can expand and contract due to changes in temperature. Over time, these contractions can cause leaks in the ducts. An inspection will detect these problems so they can be repaired before emergency air conditioning service is needed.
