As the spring season begins to warm up and temperatures creep higher and higher, summertime is likely on your mind already! Looking forward to warm weather, fun activities, and more is part of preparing for summer, but is your home summer-ready, too? Prepare your air conditioning system and unit with these tips from Allstars Electric & HVAC!
How To Prepare Your AC For Summer
Make Sure It’s Clean
Making sure your air conditioning unit is clean will not only help the unit run better and more efficiently, it will also help to keep pollen, dander, and dust from clogging up your filter. Before summertime, hose down the outside of your AC unit to make sure dirt and dust are washed away, and wipe down the blades of the internal fan, too.
Change Your Air Filter
Of course, once the air is in your home, it will be filtered so that you’re not breathing in the dust, pollen, dander, or pollution from outside air. Changing your air filter regularly is important and keeps your home cleaner with air that’s more clear of allergens, microbes, bacteria, and dirt.
Test for Any Issues, Leaks, or Obstructions
One of the most important parts of making sure your AC is ready for the summer is knowing that it runs well! Before you start running it regularly, check around the outside of your unit and the connections to the house to look for any leaks, obstructions, cracks, or other kinds of damage to the equipment. If you don’t see any physical damage, test your AC to make sure there are no issues with running it, either!
