Keeping Your Air Conditioning System User-Friendly


There are a few basic maintenance tasks that can help with keeping your air running efficiently in your home! We encourage all of our clients to actively practice good maintenance of their AC system year-round. Keep reading to learn more.

Check your Refrigerant

It’s very important to check is how much refrigerant your AC system has. The extra strain your system will be under from having insufficient refrigerant can result in your air conditioner wearing out a lot faster than it would with ample supplies. This will result in you having to spend a lot more time and money making additional repairs to your system as well as boosting the costs of the energy your air conditioner will require.

Air Filters

Filters typically become dirty if they are not changed for a long time. Seeing as most people's AC units are left in storage for a good part of the year when not in use, it is important to make sure that you replace those filters, since using dirty filters can both lower your system's energy efficiency and result in worse overall air quality. Once you open your unit and see a dirty filter, you’ll never forget how important it is to stay on top of replacing it!

Schedule a Tune-up of your system

You can easily catch a number of less obvious problems with your air conditioning through a routine system inspection. Routine inspections can help save you money by catching minor issues before they become serious problems as well as ensuring that your air conditioning is working as well as it possibly can.
