There are other benefits to AC maintenance, too. Let us help you with all your needs for AC maintenance and AC repair in Hendersonville, TN. Here are our top tips!
Plan Your Maintenance Early
AC maintenance doesn’t just drastically cut your risk of needing repair. It also extends the life of the air conditioner, keeps it under the manufacturer’s warranty for as long as possible, maximizes efficiency, and helps ensure ideal performance and even, comfortable cooling throughout your house. You definitely don’t want to skip it! In fact, you should schedule it right away.
Why should you be planning spring maintenance already? It’s definitely best to do it sooner rather than later. For one thing, HVAC contractors’ schedules really fill up later in the spring, and it will be harder to find an appointment time that is convenient for you. For another, if any major repairs or even AC replacement are needed, you’ll have time to sort all that out before the heat hits.
Change Your AC Air Filter
Your air conditioner has an air filter that catches fibers and mess to prevent it from clogging up the moving parts inside the unit. It needs to be changed regularly! Once a month during the season of highest use, or even more often if you have concerns like heavily shedding pets or construction dust in your home, swap that filter out! This will keep your system performing efficiently and effectively.
Get AC Repairs Promptly
When you suspect that there’s a problem with your air conditioner, even if it seems small, prioritize prompt repair. Little issues lead to less cooling comfort, paying extra for wasted energy, and worsening problems that end up requiring more-expensive repairs. Keep the issue small by dealing with it right away!
Signs of an Air Conditioner in Need of Repair
Keep an eye and an ear out for clues that your air conditioner needs help. These include noises and smells, very short and rapid cooling cycles, low airflow or lukewarm air from your vents, rising electric bills, ice buildup on your evaporator coils.
Keep Your Outdoor Unit Clean
It’s easy for blowing leaves, storm-flung branches, lawn clippings, mud, dust, and more to get all over the outdoor unit of your air conditioner. This part of the system needs maximum airflow so that the heat absorbed from your home will be able to dissipate! Keep debris raked away, and give the outdoor unit an occasional gentle rinse with your hose.
