AC Maintenance

• Clean dust or move objects away from the grates that supply air into each room. Do the same to the large return grate, usually in a hallway, to ensure proper air flow.
• Clear leaves and debris from the system’s outdoor condenser unit grille.
• Examine ducts in attic or crawl space for holes, loose tape or separated sections that might leak air.
• Trim shrubbery to allow at least two feet of clearance from the unit.
• Set the thermostat mode to cooling (and heating for heat pumps) to make sure it’s working. Contact us for service if you hear any unusual noises.
• Replace your air handler filter once a month to reduce airflow restrictions and wasted energy.
• Make sure condensate line is clear to allow liquid runoff.
• Set up annual checkup of your system.
