Ensuring your AC can keep your home cool all summer is essential for your comfort. Furthermore, preparing your AC for warmer months ensures optimal performance and savings on your energy bills. Continue reading for tips on how to prepare your air conditioning system for the summer season so you can enjoy a perfectly comfortable home.

How to Prep Your AC for the Summer

Schedule a Professional Inspection

Regular inspection is crucial for keeping your air conditioner running efficiently and can help identify potential issues before they become major problems. R.A. Biel Plumbing and Heating, Inc. offers expert AC services in Farmington, NM, to help keep your system in top shape.

Clean or Replace Air Filters

Dirty air filters can impact your AC’s performance, leading to higher energy bills and less efficient cooling. It’s important to clean or replace your air filters regularly to ensure your system runs smoothly. If you’re unsure about what type of filter you need or when to replace it, don’t hesitate to seek professional assistance.

Check the Thermostat

A properly functioning thermostat is essential to maintaining a comfortable temperature in your home. If your thermostat is malfunctioning, your AC may be unable to cool your house effectively, causing discomfort and higher energy bills. Keep an eye out for signs of trouble, such as erratic temperature readings or unresponsive controls.

Inspect the Outdoor Unit

The outdoor unit of your AC system plays a crucial role in keeping your home cool. Make sure to regularly inspect the unit for debris, dirt or other obstructions that can hinder its performance. If you notice any issues or require assistance maintaining your outdoor unit, consult a professional immediately.

Consider Upgrading Your AC System

If your AC system is nearing the end of its lifespan or continually experiencing issues, consider a  new air conditioning  installation. A new cooling and heating system can ensure your home stays comfortable throughout the summer.
