Spring is the perfect time to give your air conditioning system the attention it needs before the summer heat sets in. A few simple maintenance steps can significantly extend the life of your AC unit, improve energy efficiency, and keep your home comfortable all season long.
Start by changing or cleaning your air filters. Dirty filters reduce airflow, making your system work harder and potentially leading to premature failure. Next, clear away any debris around your outdoor unit—leaves, dirt, and overgrown plants can block ventilation and strain the system.
Scheduling a professional tune-up in the spring ensures that your system is running at peak performance. A technician will check refrigerant levels, inspect electrical components, and ensure all parts are clean and functioning properly. Cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils is also essential, as buildup on these coils reduces the AC’s ability to absorb and release heat effectively.
Also, don’t forget to check your thermostat. If you’re still using a manual version, consider upgrading to a smart thermostat for better control and energy savings.
Finally, make sure your ductwork is sealed and insulated to prevent cool air from escaping, and listen for unusual noises or inconsistent cooling, which could indicate an underlying issue.
