Soon you’ll be expecting your air conditioning system to deliver cool comfort. Some attention now will help you get the results you want.
Turn the AC on and try it. If it cools, that’s good. You still need to follow up with the maintenance chores, though. If it fails to function, check your settings and connections. If you really have a problem, it’s good to catch it now and get ready before the summer heat.
Some clear space around your AC unit will help it perform well. Debris or foliage encroachment may hinder the flow of air and reduce efficiency.
Your filters will need to be changed or cleaned. Changing filters is one of the most important things you can do for your AC. Bad filters cause problems and cost you money.
Find the drain, and figure out how it works. If you can’t figure it out, or if it isn’t dripping, you might think about calling in an AC professional. Drain trouble can lead to serious damage and very expensive problems.
After you’ve done these things, it is probably still a good idea to get a professional to give your system a check-up. A qualified professional will be able to give your air conditioner the maintenance it need in order to serve you well this summer.
