Air Conditioning Maintenance Tips

Ok, we know it’s not the most fun task on your to-do list, but these are some easy-to-do tips that can help to ensure both maximum AC efficiency and a longer lifespan for your air conditioning units. These include:

  • Clean your air filters regularly by removing the filter from the unit and either washing or vacuuming it. We recommend every 3 months or so
  • Regularly replace disposable filters in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
  • Make sure that the airflow coming out of your outdoor condenser unit can freely escape
  • Check outdoor units for ants, bugs, geckos and other creepy crawlies
  • Similarly, ensure that other debris, such as leaves and twigs, are not trapped in the unit
  • Prune plants in the immediate area around the unit so that air can circulate
