Add AC Repair and Service to Your Spring To-Do List

April 28, 2016

Spring is finally here. We’re pretty sure your to-do list already feels too long, but we have a couple things that might save you some headaches and keep you comfortable in the months to come. The weather is going to start heating up in Savage and the last thing you want is to discover is that you’re facing an AC repair. Going through this short checklist now could save you from sweating this summer.

  1. Check Your Air Filter and Ducts
    Changing your air filter makes it to almost all of our lists of pointers because it's so important and so often left unaddressed. If your air filter is a mess, your system will have to work harder to keep you comfy. This costs you more money and causes more wear and tear which diminishes the life and efficiency of your system. Your ducts and registers are a separate piece of the puzzle that is often neglected as well. While you're spring cleaning, remove the covers from your registers and vacuum inside them. While you have the covers removed, soak them in mild dish soap, give them a scrub and switch them after they've dried.
  2. Clean Your Outdoor Unit
    Keep any outdoor units free of debris such as grass clippings, leaves or plant overgrowth. This debris can clog your system and cause it to reduce its efficiency.
  3. Schedule Your Annual AC Tune-Up
    This is where we step in to help you tackle that to-do list. An annual AC tune-up prolongs the life of your system and keeps it operating at optimal efficiency. Spring is the ideal time to arrange your tune-up so any issues or AC repair that needs to be made can be handled before the hot summer months. The cost of a tune-up is a minimal investment into the life of your system. Think of it as giving your air conditioner an oil change.

We can't help you with all of your spring to-do list, but we can help you with all things involving your home comfort. We want to ensure you’re cool and comfortable all summer long. If you have any questions about spring cleaning, your system or need to arrange your annual AC tune-up, please give us a call at 952-373-0377.
