Planning regular AC maintenance is worth the effort.
Service keeps your air conditioning unit in San Antonio operating at its best performance while keeping utility needs small. It also could even help lengthen its life span.
While there are several tasks you can complete on your own, you should hire Experts, like the ones at Aramendia Plumbing, Heating and Air, for AC inspections and service.
Here are several steps you can take by yourself as you get ready for summer.
Get Your AC Checkup Set
Spring is a season of revival, and to many that includes a big dose of indoors, garage and yard freshening. With the hotter temperatures right around the corner, it’s also a good idea to put AC service on that listing.
Spring is the perfect time of year to get your AC equipment cleaned and inspected. Hesitating to flip it on until the first hot day of the summer can be dicey. If you need service or a new unit, you might be waiting days for a technician. And that can get very uncomfortable.
And for allergy sufferers, being ahead of the game with a clean AC system will help ensure the greatest indoor air quality while it’s pollen season.
Plus, AC maintenance could be a requirement for your unit’s manufacturer warranty or any additional extended warranty.
Can I Complete Service Alone?
There are procedures that you can do to help keep your cooling unit in the prime order:
- Change your air filter recommends each month or two. This is especially important if you have been diagnosed with allergies or have pets in your residence.
- Lawn maintenance near the exterior condenser. Make sure there’s not any grass, weeds or bushes near your air conditioning equipment. We suggest keeping 2–3 feet of open area. You should also clear any leaves or sticks that have dropped into your system, as this can limit airflow.
