We’re approaching the middle of summer and for some, the hottest time of the year. Now is the best time to make sure your AC is performing properly and keep it up throughout the hot months. How do you keep your AC in good shape? Check out the 5 tips to give your Air conditioner the best chances against this summer heat.

5. Check Your Air Filter

Your air filter is like the gatekeeper between hot, dusty air and clean, cool bliss. It’s crucial to make sure you regularly replace your filter to keep it clean. A dirty or clogged filter will restrict air flow and cause your unit to malfunction. Studies have shown that dirty air filters can reduce your AC’s efficiency by up to 10%!

4. Check Thermostat Batteries

We know it seems like it’s too simple, but you would be surprised at how this can be easily overlooked!

3. Check The Circuit Breaker

It’s common for circuits to get tripped or messed up, so this can be an easy fix if you know what to look for. Simply find you circuit breaker in the breaker box and flip the switch in the opposite position. If you don’t notice any changes you might need to call an electrician as this would be a much more serious issue.

2. Check The Coil On The Outside Of Your Machine

Although it can sometimes be hard to find, a clean condenser coil is what keeps your AC running efficiently. If you find that your condenser coil is covered in leaves, grass, or other debris you could break out the hose and gently spray it down. Sometimes all it takes is a little cleaning and maintenance to keep you AC performing at the top of it’s game.
