- Uncover your air conditioning unit if you had it covered for the cold weather. Running your air conditioner prior to removing the cover can severely damage it and result in costly air conditioner service calls.
- Plants, leaves, tall grass and debris located close to your outside unit can impact your AC’s functionality. cut the grass, clean out any debris and clear away overgrowth that blocks your unit before you turn it on this summer. Be sure to check the surroundings at least monthly to keep it open and optimize airflow through your air conditioner.
- To provide the best air quality and that your air conditioner is working efficiently, have your ducts cleaned regularly. It’s also a favorable idea to have your ducts checked for leaks to establish that all that cooled air is going where it should and not leaving through gaps.
