When winter is over and you start thinking about the warmer weather, you want to get your air conditioning ready to keep you and your family cool and comfortable. Below are five easy tips that you can use to make sure that your air conditioning is ready to go.
- Inspect It Before Starting – If the AC is covered throughout the winter, make certain that the cover is removed prior to use.
- Turn Breaker/Fuse on – Go to your electric panel and be sure its breaker or fuse is on. Sometimes a homeowner will turn it off during winter so that it doesn’t unintentionally run. So, just take time to check just in case.
- Check Your Air Filter – If it’s dirty, it’s going to reduce your system’s efficiency. This is going to make your power bill go up and make your system work a lot harder.
- Clean Off Your AC – Look at your outdoor unit and see if it needs to be cleaned. If your system’s coils are blocked or dirty, air can’t move through your system effectively which will make your system inefficient.
- Have It Professionally Inspected – It’s also a good idea to have your system checked professionally too. This will make sure that everything is set to go.
These are five tips that you can use to make sure that your air conditioning is in good condition before the hot weather starts. This way, you can ensure that your family is comfortable throughout the hot summer months.
