Preparing Your AC for the Summer

Spring has sprung, and that means summer is just around the corner. When temperatures start to rise in Jacksonville, you’ll be happy to have a well-functioning air conditioner keeping you cool. If your AC unit has already been through a few summers, you may need to take matters into your own hands to ensure that your air conditioner is up to the task again this summer. Here are some things you can do to prepare your air conditioning system for the warmer months ahead.

Change the Filters

Air filters are typically located at the blower unit and are usually placed where the return duct meets the unit. A clogged filter slows down the airflow through the blower unit, which can cause the cooling coil to ice up and the entire system to shut down. Clogged filters can also negatively affect your AC’s energy efficiency, which can mean higher energy bills this summer.

Man Repairing AC

Clear the Debris

The exterior condenser needs an unobstructed flow of air around it to work properly. Make sure there is at least two feet of space around the exterior condenser. This means trimming back shrubs, cutting low-hanging branches, and moving back wood piles near the unit. You should also give the condenser fan a good spray with a garden hose to loosen up and remove leaves, pollen, and other debris.

Schedule a Tune-Up

The best way to prepare your air conditioner for summer is to schedule a tune-up with an AC service and repair company in Jacksonville. A professional AC tune-up will not only ensure that your unit achieves maximum comfort, efficiency, and performance this summer, but it can also help you save hundreds or even thousands of dollars in repair and replacement costs by identifying small problems before they become big ones.
