Planning annual AC maintenance is useful.
Checkups keep your air conditioning unit in Kingston running at its top performance while keeping electricity needs low. It also may even help lengthen its life span.
While there are several tasks you can do by yourself, you should work with Experts, like the ones at Kingston Home Services by Enercare, for AC examinations and upkeep.
Here are a few steps you can complete alone as you prepare for summer.
Get Your AC Maintenance Scheduled
Spring is a season of revival, and to many that involves a big dose of house, garage and yard cleaning. With the warmer temps right around the corner, it’s also a great idea to include AC checkups on that listing.
Spring is the perfect time of year to get your AC equipment freshened and checked out. Delaying to turn it on until the first warm day of the year can be a gamble. If you have to have repair or replacement, you may be waiting days for a technician. And that may become extremely uncomfortable.
And for people with allergies, being well prepared with a clean air conditioning system will help ensure the best indoor air quality while it’s pollen season.
Additionally, air conditioning maintenance can be a requirement for your unit’s manufacturer warranty or any extra extended warranty.
Can I Finish a Tune-Up Myself?
There are steps that you can do to help keep your air conditioner unit in the ultimate order:
- Put in a new air filter recommends each month or two. This is especially important if you suffer from allergies or have a dog in your home.
- Lawn maintenance near the outside condenser. Check there’s not any grass, weeds or bushes near your air conditioning equipment. We advise keeping 2–3 feet of clear area. You should also get rid of any leaves or twigs that have dropped into your unit, because this can impede airflow.
