Your air conditioner has had a lot of work to do this summer and we still have more heat on its way. Just because the date on the calendar has switched over to fall doesn’t mean you’re through with your AC for the season. Staying up with annual AC maintenance, while also following a couple other pointers, can help you maintain your air conditioner while staying comfy too.
Clean Around Your Outdoor Unit
Debris can build up around your outside unit, specifically during the fall. When it comes time to rake up the leaves in your yard, be sure to rake up the leaves and debris around your air conditioner. Debris can hinder air flow, causing your system to work harder and wear down faster. We want your air conditioner to last as long as it was designed to.
Raise the Temperature on Your Thermostat
Have your thermostat set at the highest temperature you can while still remaining comfy. Whenever possible, use supplemental cooling methods such as fans. The lower you set your
thermostat, the harder your system will have to work to attain that temperature. You may think switching off your system completely will save on energy and help your system, but that creates more work for it to make up when you turn it back on. It will have to work harder for a longer amount of time, which is something else that could lead to untimely system failure.
Keep Up With AC Maintenance
Keeping a well-maintained system with routine, annual
AC maintenance is so important. Our technicians will look at your air conditioner thoroughly and ensure the electric is working as it should, the coils and filters are clean and so much more. We take a deeper look to catch little problems before they become big breakdowns and turn in to an
AC repair appointment. Keeping cool and comfortable in your own home isn’t something you should have to worry about, and with our annual AC maintenance you don’t have to worry. Give us a call at 928-263-8570 to set both your mind and system at ease. We look forward to working with you.
