Add AC Repair and Service to Your Spring To-Do List

Spring is finally here. We’re awfully sure your to-do list already feels overly long, but we have a couple things that can save you some trouble and keep you comfy in the months to come. The weather is already heating up in West Jefferson and the last thing you want is to uncover is that you’re facing an AC repair. Going through this quick checklist now could save you from sweating this summer.

1. Look at Your Air Filter and Ducts
   Swapping your air filter makes it to almost every one of our lists of pointers because it's so important and so often left unaddressed. If your air filter is filthy, your system will have to work harder to keep you comfortable. This costs you more money and causes more wear and tear which reduces the life and efficiency of your system. Your ducts and registers are another piece of the puzzle that is often forgotten as well. While you're spring cleaning, remove the covers from your registers and vacuum inside them. While you have the covers removed, soak them in mild dish soap, give them a scrub and replace them after they've dried.
2. Clean Your Outdoor Unit
   Keep any outdoor units cleared of debris such as grass clippings, leaves or plant overgrowth. This debris can clog your system and cause it to lower its efficiency.
3. Set Up Your Annual AC Tune-Up
   This is where we enter the picture to help you tackle that to-do list. An annual AC tune-up prolongs the life of your system and keeps it working at top efficiency. Spring is the best time to arrange your tune-up so any concerns or AC repair that needs to be made can be addressed before the hot summer months. The cost of a tune-up is a little investment into the lifecycle of your system. Think of it as giving your air conditioner an oil change.

We can't help you with the entirety of your spring to-do list, but we can help you with all things involving your home comfort. We want to be sure you’re cool and comfortable all summer long. If you have any questions about spring cleaning, your system or need to arrange your annual AC tune-up, please give us a call at 614-879-9091.
