Keeping Your AC in Working Condition During the Summer

When temperatures are regularly exceeding 100 degrees outside, the last thing you’ll want to deal with is your air conditioner breaking down. When you do need AC repair, Coolbreeze Comfort Solutions is here for you. Follow these tips from our expert technicians to minimize your risk of a breakdown and ensure that you are cool and comfortable all summer long.  

Change Your HVAC Filter

One frequently overlooked HVAC maintenance task is changing the air filter. This is an easy task that homeowners can do themselves, and it can make a big difference for your airflow. Dirty HVAC filters can limit the airflow through your system, which will have a noticeable impact on your AC. Your system may have to work harder and run longer to reach the desired temperature in your home, and that added strain can lead to issues that require HVAC services in Tucson. You should change your filter at least once every three months, but you may want to change it more often during the summer when your system is running more frequently. 

Schedule AC Maintenance 

Ideally, you should schedule AC maintenance in the spring and fall so that you can tune up your system before it gets heavy use during the summer months and again after it has been running constantly through the summer season. However, if you missed your springtime AC tune-up, it’s not too late to schedule service so that you can ensure your system is working properly. Routine maintenance will ensure that worn out components are replaced promptly and that your system is cleaned and lubricated, so it works at peak efficiency. 

Use Ceiling Fans 

Even when it’s over 100 degrees outside, there are some steps you can take to minimize the strain on your air conditioner and keep your home cooler. Using ceiling fans is helpful for circulating air to keep your home more comfortable. You should also keep doors and windows closed and close your curtains during the day to minimize how much sunlight enters your home and reduce heat gain. 

Don’t Put Off AC Repair 

If you do notice that your air conditioner is not working as efficiently as usual, you should call for AC repair right away before the problem gets worse. What may start out as a minor, inexpensive repair may evolve into a complex, emergency repair if you do not tend to it promptly. Look out for signs like frequent cycling or unusually long AC cycles, strange sounds or odors, or inconsistent airflow.
