Your air conditioner has had a lot of work to do this summer and we still have more hot weather to go. Just because the date on the calendar has switched over to fall doesn’t mean you’re done with your AC for the season. Staying up with annual AC maintenance, while also following a handful of other tips, can help you maintain your air conditioner while keeping your home cozy too.
Clean Around Your Outdoor Unit
Debris can accumulate around your outside unit, specifically during the fall. When the time comes to rake up the leaves in your yard, make sure to rake up the leaves and debris around your air conditioner. Debris can impact air flow, causing your system to work harder and wear down quicker. We want your air conditioner to last as long as it can.
Raise the Temperature on Your Thermostat
Keep your thermostat set at the highest temperature you can while still being comfortable. Whenever possible, take advantage of supplemental cooling methods such as fans. The lower you set your
thermostat, the harder your system will have to work to reach that temperature. You may think switching off your system completely will save on energy and help your system, but that just creates more ground for it to make up when you turn it back on. It will have to work harder for a longer amount of time, which is another thing that could lead to premature system failure.
Keep Up With AC Maintenance
Keeping a well-maintained system with routine, annual
AC maintenance is so essential. Our experts will look at your air conditioner thoroughly and be sure the electric is working as it should, the coils and filters are clean and so much more. We take a close look to catch smaller problems before they become huge breakdowns and turn in to an
AC repair appointment. Keeping cool and comfy in your own home isn’t something you should have to be concerned about, and with our annual AC maintenance you don’t have to worry. Give us a call at 636-206-4250 to set both your mind and system at ease. We look forward to working with you.
