Preparing your AC for summer ensures efficient cooling and reliable performance. Start by inspecting and replacing air filters to maintain airflow. Clean the condenser and evaporator coils, and check vents and ducts for blockages. Test the thermostat and ensure it’s functioning correctly. Check refrigerant levels and look for leaks or ice buildup. Clear the condensate drain to prevent water damage. Listen for unusual noises from the compressor or fans. Schedule a professional maintenance check with a certified technician to ensure the system operates efficiently, reduces energy costs, and keeps your home comfortably cool all summer.
