Just because the calendar tells us it’s fall, doesn’t mean that you are surely done using your air conditioner or cooling system shortly. This is the time of year when everyone is in between AC and furnace usage, but when your air conditioner has already put in a lot of work throughout the summer, it still needs a little maintenance before you make the full switch to heating. Keeping up with your air conditioner maintenance can make a large difference in the comfort of your home. That, as well as these other tips, can keep you comfortable until it finally gets chilly:
Boost your thermostat temperature.
Turning up your thermostat temperature during these days and moderate outdoor temperatures can still keep you comfortable in your home. Turning off your air conditioner completely won’t save you energy in the long run, but instead, it will just make it more difficult to turn your system back on when you need it again in the fall. Setting your thermostat to a reasonable temperature is an easy way to maintain a balance in your home as warmer weather arrives.
Clean your outdoor unit.
The winter can leave excess debris and gunk close to your outside unit, especially if there has been snow or a lot of rain throughout the season. If you haven’t had the time to clean up your post-winter yard, at least ensure that the area around your system is clear. Debris can hamper airflow for your air conditioner, causing your system to work harder than it needs to.
Keep up with air conditioner maintenance.
Annual service on your air conditioner is key for the longevity of your system. Check-in with our professionals at Temp Air System Inc. and they will thoroughly inspect your system to assure that everything is working as it should; the coils and filters are clean and that it made it through the winter whole. Our technicians will watch for small problems too, making sure that nothing turns into a greater problem toward the end of your air conditioner usage for the season. You can reach us to schedule your appointment and keep your system working efficiently. Ease your mind during the changing of the seasons!
