Summer weather is here to stay for a while longer. Chances are, it could heat up even more, too. Is your air conditioning system ready to tackle the continued heat? Here are some of the best ways to prepare your cooling system to keep up with the rest of the summer warmth.
Clean your AC filters.
Your air filters might not be visible, but their job is very important! They play a big role in how your cooling system functions. This is especially important in the summertime, as pollen, dust, and other allergens are flying through the air. Air filters capture these particles and if they aren’t cleaned regularly, they will clog, and the AC will have to work harder than necessary. Air filter replacement or cleaning is easy and makes a world of difference in prolonging the life and function of your machine. We recommend cleaning or replacing them every month or every other month.
Check your thermostat.
Does your thermostat look like something from decades ago? Not sure when or if it’s ever been replaced? If so, consider installing a programmable thermostat. We proudly carry Ecobee Smart Thermostats from Carrier. These products can save the average homeowner between 23% and 26% in annual energy costs. Just program it to your specific schedule and control it from anywhere via your smart phone. It is also smart home compatible and works alongside third-party smart home platforms. The best part: you can use this thermostat with your heat pump, air conditioner, or gas furnace. It’s an ideal option for homes with different cooling and heating systems, making it very convenient.
Rely on professional maintenance and care.
Don’t think that you can get away with never servicing your cooling system. Many of the repair calls that we see are because of the neglect of the machine. This could be a costly mistake. Without regular maintenance or tune-ups, you risk an unexpected breakdown, which could also be very expensive. Tune-ups by our experienced team at Specialty Heating and Cooling means you can rest easily knowing that everything is functioning properly. We will clean your air filters, check internal components, ensure it’s running at peak efficiency, check the blower motor, and more! We understand how frustrating expensive and unexpected repairs or breakdowns are. That’s why our goal is to make sure things are running smoothly so your system can handle whatever the weather throws at it.
