Routine Maintenance Tasks
Performing routine maintenance can prevent common problems and extend the life of your AC unit. Here are some tasks you can do:
- Clean or replace air filters monthly: Dirty filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency.
- Inspect the thermostat: Ensure it’s functioning correctly and set to an energy-efficient temperature.
- Check the condensate drain: A clogged drain can cause water damage and affect indoor humidity levels.
- Clean the AC coils: Dirty coils can reduce the system’s ability to absorb and release heat.
