Add AC Repair and Service to Your Spring To-Do List

Spring is finally here. We’re pretty sure your to-do list already feels too long, but we have a couple things that might save you some headaches and keep you comfy in the months to come. The weather is going to start heating up in Lexington and the last thing you want is to discover is that you need AC repair. Going through this short checklist now could save you from sweating this summer.

1. Inspect Your Air Filter and Ducts
   Changing your air filter makes it to almost all of our lists of pointers because it's so important and so often overlooked. If your air filter is dirty, your system will have to work harder to keep you cozy. This costs you more money and causes more work on the system which decreases the life and efficiency of your system. Your ducts and registers are another piece of the puzzle that is often overlooked as well. While you're spring cleaning, take off the covers from your registers and vacuum inside them. While you have the covers taken off, soak them in mild dish soap, give them a scrub and swap them after they've dried.
2. Clean Your Outdoor Unit
   Keep any outdoor units free of debris such as grass clippings, leaves or plant overgrowth. This debris can inhibit your system and cause it to decrease its efficiency.
3. Set Up Your Annual AC Tune-Up
   This is where we come in to help you take on that to-do list. An annual AC tune-up lengthens the life of your system and keeps it working at optimal efficiency. Spring is the best time to set up your tune-up so any concerns or AC repair that needs to be made can be handled before the hot summer months. The cost of a tune-up is a minimal investment into the lifespan of your system. Think of it as giving your air conditioner an oil change.

We can't help you with all of your spring to-do list, but we can help you with all things involving your home comfort. We want to make sure you’re cool and comfortable all summer long. If you have any questions about spring cleaning, your system or need to schedule your annual AC tune-up, please give us a call at 336-853-6070.
