Scheduling regular AC maintenance is useful.
Maintenance keeps your air conditioning equipment in Hilton Head Island working at peak performance while keeping energy needs low. It also can even help lengthen its life expectancy.
While there are a few jobs you can finish by yourself, you should call the Experts, like the ones at Epperson Service Experts, for AC examinations and maintenance.
Here are several steps you can do alone as you prepare for summer.
Get Your AC Service Scheduled
Spring is a period of renewal, and to many that entails a big dose of house, garage and yard cleaning. With the hotter weather near, it’s also a good idea to put AC checkups on that checklist.
Spring is the best time of year to get your air conditioning unit cleaned and checked out. Hesitating to flip it on until the first warm day of the year can be a gamble. If you need service or a new unit, you could be waiting awhile for an appointment. And that can turn extremely uncomfortable.
And for those with allergies, being ahead of the game with a freshened air conditioning system will help ensure the greatest indoor air quality when it’s pollen season.
Plus, air conditioner service may be mandatory for your system’s manufacturer warranty or any extra extended warranty.
Can I Complete a Tune-Up Alone?
There are steps that you can take to help keep your air conditioner equipment in the top condition:
- Replace your air filter recommends each month or two. This is especially important if you deal with allergies or have animals in your home.
- Lawn upkeep by the outdoor condenser. Ensure there’s not any grass, weeds or bushes close to your cooling system. We recommend keeping 2–3 feet of free area. You should also clear any leaves or sticks that have collected inside your system, because this might impede airflow.
