At Forquer Heating and Air Conditioning, we’re committed to helping you enjoy a cool and comfortable summer by ensuring your air conditioning system operates at peak efficiency. Here are some expert tips to help maximize the performance of your AC unit:
Key Maintenance Steps for Optimal AC Efficiency:
- Regular Filter Changes: Keeping your filters clean is crucial. Replace one-inch filters every 30 to 45 days and four-inch pleated filters every 3 to 6 months to maintain airflow and efficiency.
- Clean the Condensing Unit: Your outdoor unit needs to be free of debris like grass clippings and cottonwood to function effectively. A simple hose down can prevent buildup and enhance performance.
Why Preventative Maintenance Matters:
- Improved Airflow: Especially important in two-story homes where achieving cool upper levels can be challenging if the filters are dirty.
- Enhanced Unit Longevity: Keeping the condensing unit clean helps avoid overheating, reducing wear on the compressor and extending the life of your AC.
- Cost Savings: Efficient systems use less electricity, which means lower utility bills for you.
Professional HVAC Maintenance Services:
While DIY maintenance like changing filters and cleaning the condensing unit helps, nothing replaces professional service. Our experienced technicians offer comprehensive preventative maintenance that includes checking and clearing the drainage system, inspecting electrical connections, and assessing environmental factors to customize your maintenance schedule.
