6 Hot END-OF-SUMMER AC MAINTENANCE TIPS

The hottest days of the year in Cumming GA are approaching an end, with August 2019 soon coming to an end. Your AC has been working hard for you, so it's now time to return the favor. The good news is that, as long as you've been taking care of it all along, only a few basic maintenance tasks should be required.

These expert AC tips apply equally to both window and central cooling air conditioners. So, here are the seven ways that you can keep your AC running efficiently after summer is over.

     1. Check Your Unit For Potential Problems

There are a few ways that you should check your AC unit for problems: visually, auditory, and aromatically.

---

• Visually: look for frayed wires, internal parts that look damaged, and any possible leaks.
  
• Auditory: listen carefully for rattling, tickling, or hissing sounds.
• Aromatically: look for strange smells coming from the AC.

If you notice anything out of the ordinary, contact your HVAC company immediately.

     2. Replace Your Air Filter

Even if you cleaned your filter a couple of months ago before summer began, you should still change it to improve your AC's performance. Luckily this isn't a difficult maintenance task. By replacing your air filter, you'll not only breath cleaner and healthier air but also save substantially on your energy bill.

    3. Condenser Coil Cleaning

In case you aren't aware, the condensate drain is usually located outside near your condenser unit. The condensate line is a breeding ground for moisture and mildew that will collect into your outdoor unit. If you haven't cleaned it yet this summer, be sure to do so before summer's end. Also check for clogs that might hamper your cooling system further.

    4. Remove obstacles around your Outdoor unit

It's essential to clear out obstacles to keep the air circulation going smoothly.  Set your outdoor unit up for success this fall by clearing out debris such as weeds and branches from around the condenser. Brush away any visible dirt with a brush.

    5. Schedule a preventative maintenance appointment

Just doing this one step will keep your ac running efficiently throughout this year and even until next summer. A thorough maintenance inspection will keep your AC running smoothly throughout the upcoming seasons.

    6. Get Expert Help

AC maintenance isn't typically considered a DIY task. Therefore, the best option for keeping your AC maintained is to seek the help of professionals. Don't hesitate about calling your favorite AC company to look at, fix, and do the upkeep on your system.

Conclusion

As you can see, some of these tips might not be easy to carry out for the average person who doesn't have experience working with ACs or knowledge of various AC parts.
