Spring has arrived. We know your to-do list is unfortunately long, but we have several things you can add that will save you from potential challenges and keep you comfortable during the summer months. When the weather heats up in Arlington, an AC repair is the last thing you want to worry about. Use this checklist to save yourself from sweating throughout the summer.
- Examine Your Air Filter and Ducts
You’ve seen this here before. Changing your air filter is so important and frequently forgotten by homeowners. A dirty air filter makes your system work a lot harder to keep your house comfortable. Hard work means less efficiency and more money. Plus, it causes avoidable wear and tear on your system. People also overlook their ducts and registers. It’s a great idea to take off the covers from your registers and vacuum them. Then be sure to soak the covers in mild dish soap, clean them if needed and reattach when they’re dry. - Maintain Your Outdoor Unit
Keep debris like grass clippings, leaves and plants distant from your outside unit. Debris can block your system and impact its efficiency. - Plan Your Annual AC Tune-Up
Here’s where Service Max Heating & Air Conditioning can help with that spring cleaning list. Having once a year AC tune-ups extends your system’s life and helps it stay running at peak efficiency. It’s ideal to schedule your tune-up in early spring so any AC repairs can be done before summer brings the heat. When you think about the value of the life of your system, the cost of a tune-up is a small investment.
While we may not be able to support you with all the chores on your spring to-do list, we can advise you with all the things that impact your home comfort. We’ll help you stay cool and comfortable all summer long. If you have any questions about your home comfort or you want to schedule your annual AC tune-up, call us at 360-255-5857.
