With the winter chill behind us and the warmth of spring well underway, now’s the perfect time to ensure that your air conditioning system is ready to keep you cool and comfortable during the warmer Oswego months ahead.
Here are some essential maintenance tips to get your AC in top shape for the spring season from Andersen Plumbing and Heating, your go-to company for quality AC repair in Oswego, IL.
Change Your Air Filters
Start your spring AC maintenance routine by replacing the air filters. Over time, dust, pollen, and other debris can accumulate in the filters, restricting airflow and reducing the efficiency of your AC system. Replace the filters to ensure proper airflow and better indoor air quality.
Clean the Outdoor Unit
Inspect the outdoor unit of your AC system for any debris, such as leaves, dirt, or branches, that may have accumulated over the winter months. Use a garden hose to gently wash away the debris and ensure that the unit has proper airflow for optimal performance.
Check the Thermostat Settings
As the weather begins to warm up, adjust your thermostat settings accordingly. AC replacement and repair specialists recommend upgrading to a programmable thermostat if you don’t already have one, as it can help you save energy and money by automatically adjusting the temperature based on your schedule.
Schedule Professional Maintenance
While some maintenance tasks can be done by homeowners, it’s essential to schedule professional maintenance for your AC system at least once a year. Professionals who provide AC repair services can inspect and tune up your system to ensure that it’s running efficiently and identify any potential issues before they become major problems.
Consider Air Duct Cleaning
Over time, dust, mold, and other contaminants can build up in your home’s air ducts, affecting indoor air quality and the efficiency of your AC system. Consider scheduling a professional cleaning from ductless AC repair professionals to remove any buildup and improve airflow throughout your home.
With these essential maintenance tips, you can ensure that your air conditioning system is ready to keep you cool and comfortable throughout the spring and summer months.
