Tips for Troubleshooting Your AC

As a homeowner, there are several things you can do to help your AC system. Some tips to prevent overloading your air conditioner include:

  • Maintenance – When you schedule regular maintenance visits with an HVAC company, you can avoid specific problems altogether. It can help prevent costly unexpected breakdowns, higher energy bills, and improper performance.
  • Replace the filter regularlyReplacing your filter regularly is essential to extend the life and efficiency of your air conditioner. If the filter gets dirty and clogged, it will restrict airflow, making your AC system work much harder to circulate air throughout your home. In addition, a dirty filter could cause the HVAC to overheat and shut down.
  • Clear all debris – Your AC unit is located outside. When we experience heavy rain and storms, branches, leaves, and other debris can get stuck on and around the air conditioner. This will prevent your system from working correctly. Therefore, especially after a storm, check to ensure the system is clear of debris.
  • Normal wear and tear – An HVAC system has many components that must work correctly to ensure reliability and efficiency. The performance of your AC can be affected by the normal wear and tear on these components and parts. Therefore, to prevent normal wear and tear from leading to replacing the system, call an HVAC company to check these parts and replace them if necessary. Preventative maintenance will save you more money in the long run!
