An AC Efficiency Checklist...

...what should you be looking for? In short, cleanliness is key

for an efficient AC. Here’s a basic air conditioning

maintenance checklist...

CLEAN OR CHANGE YOUR FILTERS

Ideally, this should be done once a month.

Dirt, grime and dust make it more difficult for your system to do its job and keep your home comfortable.

MAKE SURE THE OUTDOOR UNIT IS CLEAN

Is anything blocking the outdoor unit (the condenser)?

The area around the unit should be clear of plants or anything that could clog the unit.

CLEAN INDOOR DUCT WORK

Are you sensing a pattern here?

Remember that the majority of ductwork is hidden deep within the walls and ceilings of your home.

In short, leave this job to the pros.

CHECK YOUR COIL FINS

Coil fins are the aluminum fins on evaporator and condenser coils.

You have to keep an eye on these because they are easily bent.

As a result, airflow is blocked, which can cause a spike in your power bill.

CLEAR CONDENSATE DRAINS

When these channels get clogged, your AC unit can’t reduce humidity.

That excess moisture has to go somewhere, & as a result, your walls or carpets can become discolored.

OVERWHELMED? Don’t worry - help is available!

BOTTOM LINE

There are many things that can hinder your AC’s performance, and you shouldn’t wait until summer to get them fixed.

WHY RISK YOUR AC GOING OUT ON THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR?
