Early Cooling Strategies: How To Prepare Your AC for the Sweltering Summer
Summer is fast approaching, and with it comes the sweltering heat that can put your air conditioning system to the test. As Emily R. expressed in her testimonial, “When your AC goes down in the middle of a heat wave it is no joke!” [2].
That’s why it’s crucial to prepare your AC early to ensure it runs smoothly throughout the hottest months. Here are some effective strategies to get your AC ready for summer, highlighting why Clark’s Heating & Air remains a preferred choice for many homeowners.
The Importance of Early AC Maintenance
Performing regular maintenance on your air conditioning system is akin to giving your car a periodic tune-up. It helps you avoid unexpected breakdowns and can extend the lifespan of your unit.
Regular maintenance helps maintain efficiency, potentially lowering your utility bills, a sentiment echoed by Ken B., who noted, “The price is reasonable and the technician is thorough and professional” [6].
Tips for Preparing Your AC for Summer
1. Schedule a Professional Tune-Up
Spring is the best time for an AC tune-up. This preventative measure can avert emergencies and ensure that your system is ready for high-demand summer usage. Clark’s Heating & Air offers detailed AC maintenance, ensuring that each component of your air conditioner is in optimal condition.
2. Change Your Air Filters
Replacing or cleaning your air filters is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain your AC system. Dirty filters can impede airflow and compromise indoor air quality, resulting in your unit working overtime.
3. Inspect & Clean the Unit
Make sure the area around your AC is free of debris. Our technicians are trained to perform thorough inspections, including checking the condenser coils, measuring coolant levels, and tightening electrical connections.
Routine checks like these can prevent issues like debris buildup, which Mark N. credits for giving peace of mind by knowing their “AC units are ready to go” [5].
4. Calibrate the Thermostat
Calibrated thermostats ensure your home’s temperature is as desired without overburdening your AC system. This step is crucial for maintaining comfort and energy efficiency.
5. Listen for Unusual Noises
Unusual noises can be precursors to more serious mechanical issues. Addressing them early with a professional inspection can save both time and money in the long run.
6. Check for Leaks
Refrigerant leaks can reduce your AC’s cooling capacity and increase operation costs. If you suspect a leak, contact our professionals to evaluate and repair your system.
