5 Ways to Beat the Heat: A Pre-Summer AC Checklist
With the scorching summer temps just around the corner, ensuring your AC is in top condition is essential for a comfortable season. Here’s a checklist of what to do before summer:
1.
Check Your Air FIlters
Start by inspecting and replacing air filters if necessary. Clogged filters restrict airflow, reducing the efficiency of your system and increasing energy consumption. Replace filters every 1-3 months, depending on usage and if you have pets in the home.
2.
Clean Your Vents Regularly
Remove dust and debris from vents and registers to ensure proper airflow throughout your home. Blocked vents can restrict airflow, causing uneven cooling and potential damage to your system.
3.
Remember to Inspect Ductwork
Check for any leaks or damage in your ductwork. Leaky ducts can lead to cooled air escaping, resulting in inefficient cooling and higher energy bills. Seal any leaks with duct sealant or hire a professional for repairs.
4.
Clear around your outside unit
Inspect the outdoor unit for debris such as leaves, grass clippings, or dirt. Clear any obstructions and ensure there is at least two feet of clearance around the unit for optimal airflow.
5.
Test System Performance
Before the summer heat arrives, test your HVAC system to ensure it is functioning properly. Check for adequate cooling and listen for any unusual noises. If you notice any issues, address them promptly to avoid potential breakdowns during peak summer temperatures.
Pets & Air Filters
Pet dander and fur can clog your HVAC system’s air filters faster than you think! To keep your home’s air clean and your system running efficiently, make sure to change your filters regularly.
