Here’s your essential guide to getting your air conditioner summer-ready!
Why Preparing Your AC for Summer is Essential
Avoid Unexpected Breakdowns
Nothing ruins a summer day like an air conditioner that stops working when you need it most. Regular maintenance can prevent most common issues that lead to breakdowns, ensuring your system runs smoothly throughout the season.
Increase Efficiency and Save Money
A well-maintained air conditioner runs more efficiently, which not only cools your home faster but also saves you money on energy bills. Simple tasks like replacing the air filter can improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Extend the Life of Your Air Conditioner
Regular maintenance can significantly extend the life of your air conditioning unit. By catching issues early and keeping your system clean, you avoid the wear and tear that can lead to premature replacement.
How to Get Your Air Conditioner Ready for Summer
Schedule Professional Maintenance
Start with a professional tune-up from Medicine Hat Refrigeration. Our experienced technicians will check your system’s refrigerant levels, test for leaks, and ensure all components are functioning correctly.
Clean or Replace Air Filters
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to boost your AC's performance is to clean or replace its air filters. This should be done every 1-3 months, depending on usage and filter type.
Check Your Thermostat
Ensure your thermostat is working correctly and consider upgrading to a smart thermostat if you haven’t already. A smart thermostat can improve system efficiency by adjusting the temperature based on your schedule and preferences.
Clear the Area Around Your Outdoor Unit
Keep at least a 2-foot clearance around your outdoor air conditioning unit. Remove any leaves, twigs, or debris that could obstruct airflow and reduce efficiency.
Inspect and Clean the Condensate Drain Line
The condensate line can become clogged with algae and debris, causing water leaks and increased humidity inside your home. Flushing the line can prevent these issues before they start.
