As the summer heat approaches, ensuring your air conditioning system is in top shape becomes a priority. Regular AC tune-ups not only maximize efficiency but also extend the lifespan of your HVAC unit.

To help you make the most out of your air conditioner, we've put together this comprehensive guide with tangible and useful tips. Read on to discover how to keep your AC running smoothly all summer long.

Clean or Replace Your Air Filters

Dirty air filters can hinder airflow and reduce the efficiency of your AC system. Regularly cleaning or replacing your air filters not only improves indoor air quality but also helps your unit run more efficiently. Check your filters every month and clean or replace them as needed.

Clear the Condenser Unit

The condenser unit, located outside your home, can accumulate debris such as leaves, dirt, and grass clippings. This buildup restricts airflow and reduces the effectiveness of your AC system. To ensure optimal performance, regularly clear the area around the condenser unit, removing any obstructions.

Check & Seal Air Ducts

Leaky air ducts can lead to significant energy loss and decreased cooling efficiency. Inspect your air ducts for any visible leaks or gaps and seal them using foil tape or mastic sealant. Properly sealed air ducts ensure that cooled air reaches its intended destination, saving energy and improving overall comfort.

Clean Your Evaporator Coil

The evaporator coil, located inside your HVAC unit, can accumulate dust and debris over time. This buildup reduces the coil's ability to absorb heat, leading to decreased cooling efficiency. Regularly clean the evaporator coil using a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove any dirt or debris.
