3 EASY Checks For Your Air Conditioner
These three easy checks you can do yourself as a homeowner will save you time and money this summer.
Before the weather turns hot and everyone in your neighborhood starts turning on their air conditioners, let’s turn your ac on and test it out. By checking it before it gets hot, you can schedule an appointment at YOUR convenience instead of waiting for days because every HVAC company is booked.
#1 Go outside and check your outdoor unit. Remove any covers. Also remove any debris that has collected around the unit during the winter.
#2 Change your filter next to your furnace. (A dirty air filter can cause your air conditioner to malfunction or run poorly.) Here is a short video that shows how to properly change an air filter.
#3 Turn your thermostat to cool and run the air conditioner for about 15-20 minutes. That gives the unit enough time to run and you can decide if it is working properly.
