Spring: Preparing for the Cooling Season

Spring is the perfect time to ensure your air conditioning system is ready for the demanding summer months ahead:

• Schedule professional maintenance to clean coils, check refrigerant levels, and calibrate thermostats
• Replace air filters that may have collected winter debris
• Clear debris from outdoor units after winter storms
• Test your system before the first heat wave hits

Summer: Maximizing Cooling Efficiency

During peak cooling season, your AC system works its hardest. Help it perform efficiently with these strategies:

• Keep outdoor units clear of vegetation and debris
• Use ceiling fans to improve air circulation
• Consider programmable thermostats to adjust temperatures when you’re away
• Watch for warning signs like unusual noises or inconsistent cooling

Fall: Transitioning to Heating Season

As temperatures begin to drop, shift your focus to heating preparation:

• Schedule a comprehensive heating system inspection
• Clean or replace furnace filters
• Check for any gas leaks or electrical issues
• Test your carbon monoxide detectors
• Consider duct cleaning if it hasn’t been done in several years

Winter: Maintaining Heating Performance

When your heating system becomes crucial for comfort and safety:

• Monitor system performance closely
