Summer is here and that means it’s time to make sure your air conditioning system is up to the task of keeping you cool. As a customer of East Coast Mechanical, you have access to all the services you need to keep your AC running smoothly. Here are some summer air conditioning tips to help you make sure you stay cool and comfortable all season long.
1. Schedule AC Maintenance: Scheduling regular maintenance and tune-ups for your air conditioning system is one of the best things you can do to keep it running smoothly. An AC maintenance check-up will help identify any potential problems and help keep your system running efficiently. It’s also a good idea to have a professional inspect your system before the start of the summer to make sure everything is in good working order.
2. Clean or Replace Filters: Clogged air filters can reduce the efficiency of your air conditioning system. Check your air filters monthly and replace them if they are dirty or clogged. You can also clean the filters with a vacuum cleaner to help keep your system running efficiently.
3. Check for Leaks: Check your air conditioner for any leaks that may have developed over the winter. Leaks can cause your system to run inefficiently and cost you money in the long run. If you find a leak, it’s best to contact a professional HVAC contractor to inspect and fix the problem.
4. Check the Refrigerant Levels: Check the refrigerant levels in your air conditioning system to make sure they are at the right level. Refrigerant levels should be checked at least once a year by a professional HVAC contractor.
5. Check the Outside Unit: Make sure the outside unit of your air conditioning system is not obstructed by debris or other items. If the outside unit is clogged, it can cause your system to work harder and reduce its efficiency.
Following these tips will help make sure your air conditioning system is running efficiently and effectively.
