Replace or Clean Air Filters
Dirty air filters can restrict airflow and reduce the efficiency of your air conditioner. Replace disposable filters or clean reusable ones before the start of the summer season. Depending on the type of filter and the level of dust in your home, this might need to be done every 1-3 months during heavy use.
Inspect and Clean the Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit, also known as the condenser unit, can accumulate dirt, leaves, and debris over time. Check the area around the unit and remove any obstructions. Then, carefully clean the exterior of the unit using a hose or mild detergent to remove dirt and grime. Be sure to turn off the power to the unit before cleaning.

Our trained HVAC technicians can inspect your system, clean coils, check refrigerant levels, and ensure that all components are in good working condition.
