With warmer temperatures around the corner, now is a great time to make sure your home and air conditioner are ready for summer. Being prepared for summer can save you money. Proper care of the cooling HVAC system can keep it running efficiently, which will also save money in the long run. If you ever notice anything out of the norm with your air conditioner, make sure to contact us so we can inspect it for you.
The first step you should take to prepare your air conditioner for warm weather is to schedule an annual maintenance check up to make sure your unit is running efficiently. We can check the parts and components of the system for you. While inspecting the condition of the parts, we can also check how clean they are. Operating a dirty unit can cause unnecessary loss of efficiency and can damage the unit. There are some things you can do in order to keep the air conditioner system clean. Trim brush and shrubbery near outdoor units to prevent airflow obstruction and remove grass clippings, leaves, and other debris from the outdoor coil.
Also remember to check and replace the filter from the unit monthly. This will help keep the system running efficiently. Over time, the filter will capture the dirt and dust from the air. This allows the clean air to travel through the air conditioning system and back into your home again. It is important to remember to not run an air conditioner without a filter. This is because the dirt and dust can cause damage to the moving parts of the system.
If you are looking for a new air conditioner, consider purchasing a high efficiency model. They can help reduce your energy costs as well as conserve our natural resources. When selecting an air conditioner or heat pump, pay close attention to the SEER or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. This is a system for rating the efficiency of cooling equipment. The minimum SEER rating is 10. You can also contact us if you are not sure what type of air conditioner to purchase for your home. We can advise you on the options that you have, as well as recommend what the best air conditioner would be for your home.
