Summer is right around the corner, and that means hotter temperatures are on their way! If you’re like most people, you’ll be relying on your AC system to keep you cool during the hottest months of the year. That’s why it’s important to ensure that your AC system is prepared for summer. Buckhalter Heating and Air Conditioning is here to help. In this blog post, we share four tips to help make sure your AC system is ready for summer.
Check the Filter
One of the most important things you can do to prepare your AC system for summer is to check the filter. A dirty filter can reduce airflow and cause your AC system to work harder, which can lead to increased energy costs and shortened system life. Be sure to change the filter regularly — a good rule of thumb is once every month or two.
Clean Areas Around Condensers & Coils
Another important step in preparing your AC system for summer is to clean the condensers and coils. A dirty condenser or coil can reduce efficiency and cause your AC system to work harder, which can lead to increased energy costs and shortened system life. Be sure to clean your condensers and coils at least once a year.
Inspect the Ductwork
Inspecting the ductwork is another important step in preparing your AC system for summer. Leaky or damaged ducts can reduce airflow and cause your AC system to work harder, which can lead to increased energy costs and shortened system life. Be sure to have your ductwork inspected at least once a year.
Take Care Of Necessary Repairs
If you find that your AC system is not working as efficiently as it should, it's important to take care of any necessary repairs. Ignoring necessary repairs can lead to increased energy costs and shortened system life. Be sure to have your AC system checked by a qualified technician before the summer heat arrives.
