Summer may have already arrived, but it’s never too late for AC maintenance. Take it from the Coop, if you haven’t already, now is the time to take some steps to ensure your air conditioning system is capable of performing its best. Not only will preparing your air conditioner help keep you cool throughout the rest of the summer, but it will also help prevent critical failures that would cost both money and comfort. Here, I’ll discuss some of the maintenance musts you’ll need to cover to ensure your AC is ready to tackle the summer’s hottest days.

Change Your Filter

The first thing every homeowner should do is change their air filter. Dirty air filters spread more dust and particulate matter when your AC is running. Additionally, if a filter is caked with dirt, it can prevent airflow making your air conditioner work harder to do its job. You’ll increase both effectiveness and efficiency by regularly changing the air filter for your home’s air conditioning system.

Upgrade Your Thermostat

With energy costs skyrocketing with no end in sight, now, more than ever, it’s critical to have complete control over your home’s air conditioning system. New thermostats have a range of functions that enable homeowners to have a multitude of energy-efficient options when it comes to controlling indoor temperatures. From Wi-Fi connectivity to customizable settings, new thermostats will help you save money and keep your home cool all season long.

Clean Your Vents

Making sure your vents are thoroughly cleaned prevents unwanted dust, pet dander, and other indoor pollutants from making their way through the home. Ensure your air quality is better by removing dirt from the vents in all areas of the residence.

Clean Your Outdoor Unit

During the fall, winter, and early spring, outdoor debris like sticks and twigs can build up around your air conditioner. Make sure any overgrown plants, leaves, and other waste materials are removed from the area around the AC. This will improve airflow and the unit’s ability to properly cool your home on the days it’s needed the most.

Schedule an Appointment With a Professional

One of the best things a homeowner can do to ensure their air conditioning system is operating at peak performance is to schedule an appointment for unit maintenance. By having a professional HVAC technician look over your unit, they’ll be able to determine the overall condition and identify any points of concern. You’ll have an accurate picture of your AC and be able to remedy any minor problems before they lead to critical issues.
