Getting Your Air Conditioner Ready for Summer

April 13, 2017

Summer is here! Many of us are ready for warmer weather and some relaxing summer days. To optimize your comfort and really relax, confirm your air conditioner is ready for the heat. One of the keys to a fun summer in Naples is a reliable, efficient air conditioner. While CNR Air Conditioning Inc constantly recommends staying current with annual preventive air conditioning service, we’ve got several tips to help keep your air conditioner running over the summer.

  • First, another time to cite the golden rule of HVAC: inspect your air filter routinely! Replace it in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation.
  • Take the cover off your air conditioning unit if it was covered for the cold season. Starting your air conditioner before removing the cover can seriously damage it and cause you costly air conditioner service calls.
  • Plants, leaves, tall grass and debris placed close to your outside unit can reduce your AC’s functionality. cut the grass, clean out any debris and remove overgrowth that obstructs your unit before you turn it on this summer. remember to check the surroundings at least monthly to keep it clear and increase airflow through your air conditioner.
  • To ensure the best air quality and that your air conditioner is running efficiently, have your ducts maintained regularly. It’s also a favorable idea to have your ducts checked for leaks to ensure all that cooled air is going where you need it and not escaping through gaps.
  • Consider putting in a programmable thermostat to provide assistance to manage the efficiency of your air conditioner.
  • Take a look at the slab your air conditioner unit sits on.

These easy steps can save you from avoidable air conditioning service and keep you cool and comfortable throughout the summer months.
