Our AC Summer Prep Checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before the hottest days hit, here are the top things our experienced team recommends checking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Replace or Clean the Air Filter<\/strong> \u2013 A dirty filter restricts airflow and reduces system efficiency. Replace it every 1\u20133 months to keep air clean and AC performance optimal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Clear Debris from the Outdoor Unit<\/strong> \u2013 Leaves, dirt, and other debris can collect around the condenser. Keep the area around the outdoor unit clear for proper airflow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Check Thermostat Settings<\/strong> \u2013 Ensure your thermostat is set to \u201ccool\u201d and test that it accurately reads and maintains your desired indoor temperature.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Inspect Air Vents and Registers<\/strong> \u2013 Make sure vents are open and unblocked by furniture or curtains. Clean off dust for better airflow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Schedule a Professional Tune-Up<\/strong> \u2013 Our technicians perform a multi-point inspection, clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, and test electrical components. This preventive step catches issues before they become major problems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
