Summer is almost here! Did you get your AC tuned up and cleaned for summer?
Here’s a full list of what’s included in a summer tune up along with helpful tips for homeowners.
Summer tune up includes:
- Check refrigerant levels
- Inspect thermostat and settings
- Change Filters (Gold customers receive free filters)
- Inspect condensate lines and install drain tablets (nobody wants a flooded basement or water coming through their ceiling)
- Inspect indoor and outdoor coils (clean if necessary) Dirty coils can cause a system to run longer, damage major components and raise electric bills
- Check all safety controls
- Check all electrical components and connections
- Check amperage on inside and outside units
- Check equipment’s general condition
Helpful tips for Homeowners:
- Set the Thermostat Wisely – Keep your thermostat at the highest comfortable setting. The smaller the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower your overall cooling bill will be.
- Regular Maintenance – Clean or replace air filters regularly, at least once a month, to ensure efficient airflow and cooling.
- Keep Vents Clear – Ensure that furniture or curtains are not blocking air vents, allowing for proper airflow throughout your home.
- Clean Outdoor Unit – Maintain a 2ft clearance around your outdoor unit, spray the outside unit with a garden hose to remove the dust and dirt build up. Ensuring this allows for proper airflow and the system to run more efficiently year after year.
- Use Fans – Ceiling or portable fans can help circulate cool air more efficiently, allowing you to raise the thermostat by a few degrees without sacrificing comfort.
- Consider an Energy- Efficient Model – If your AC unit is older, consider upgrading to a more energy- efficient model, which can save you money in the long run.
